On June 20 2009 and afterwards, the Iranian security forces used snipers to shoot
down over 200 unarmed protesters calling for democracy. Masses of Basij militia
brutally assaulted the people on the streets, up to last Friday’s events in the Tehran
cemetery and city square. Many of those arrested have also been tortured to death
in detention, and some bodies have been recovered.
This solemn event in Martin Place is part of a world-wide wave of emotion,
condolence and protest in the Iranian community and through the entire global
democratic community.
Honour, respect and remember Neda Agh Soltan, Kianoosh Asa, Sohrab
Ahrabi, Mehrdad Mohammadi and hundreds more…
From July 28, over 2000 heavily armed Iraqi police have attacked over 3,500 Iranian
democracy activists living at Ashraf City, Iraq – at the request of the Iranian
Supreme Leader. Twelve have been killed, including six by sniper or machine gun
fire, and over 500 injured by violent bashing with clubs.
