Iranian political prisoner demands better conditions

IRAN, TEHRAN. Manouchehr Mohammadi, leader of the National Association of Students of Iran, has been on a hunger strike for several days. He is being held in section 3 of Evin, infamous political prison in Tehran, and is protesting against his conditions. This was announced on November 19 by the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran (SMCCDI).
According to the SMCCDI, Manouchehr Mohammadi, who suffers from kidney disease, has repeatedly requested of investigators at the Ministry of Information (which is also responsible for internal security) to provide medical assistance, but each time that has been denied. Manouchehr Mohammadi was arrested on July 18, 1999, five days after the crackdown on the student uprisings in Iran. On the next day, local television showed him making "confessions" to "plotting against Iran with foreign spies and Zionists". Last October, Mohammadi was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Human rights organizations reported that he was subjected to torture.

Almost forgot to ask, does the National Association of Students of Iran have a website?

I haven't seen it but will get back to you about this.

Good idea to write media outlets, let's hope they get this in front of the American people. It's very important and exciting. But, right now on Fox they are talking about nude summer camps, on Msnbc about interest rates, and on CNN about Harry Potter. The Iranians need our support and I'm sure Americans will sympathize if they could get the whole picture.

Doc, Nasrin's letter has been posted to Google Groups

Kewl. Did you do this?

These are those desherited that were a day the backbone of the regime.....

I'm going to take a shot at this(as always I could be wrong)
I'm assuming they are talking about the disinherited. Those who have lost their land/business for one reason or another.
These are really the poorest of the poor, and the mullahs have used them for years to prop up their rule.

These are those desherited that were a day the backbone of the regime.....

That is my understanding as well.

Boy, we're almost starved for information tonight. Are things dying down? Are the mullahs winning?

Prayers.

Food riot has been always dangerous to the well-being of any regime.

I hope the North Korean people are aware of this.

BTTT!

SMCCDI: Tens injured and arrested in southern Tehran, thousands protest in other areas

SMCCDI (Information Service)
Tens were injured and at east hundred arrested in the violent clashes that rocked , late afternoon and again in the evning, the southern suburb of Nasrin Shahr as the famous desherited and several thousands of supporters, rushed to their help protested against the Islamic regime.

The clerics who comitted the msitake to send their best of elite troops to this area, faced then, other huge protest gatherings, which rocked in the night, the esastern and northern parts of the Capital and especially the Tehran Pars district where young demonstrators imposed their presence and revolutionnary passion to the more docile forces of the regime.

The few plainclothes men who tried to intimidate the protesters were soon not in measure to continue their actions when they tasted the retaliation of young masked fredom fighters who injured several of them in the clashes.

Heavy traffic jams made for the regime impossible to move as quick as the precedent nights its repressive forces.

More actions will take place in the next evenings.

RACK the upcoming revolution Doctor that Channel 18 station MADE LOCAL NEWS RACK ITTT

Channel 7 at 5pm hour

Boy, we're almost starved for information tonight. Are things dying down? Are the mullahs winning?

Things are not dying down. You have to remember, there is a 12 hour time difference between those in Iran and those of us on the US west coast. Our evening is their morning. So people go home after the protests and we slowly begin to hear the reports. By morning our time, we generally have our best news reports.

OK, that makes some sense.

Thanks!

They don't seem to be letting up. such courage!
