Iran, no way for end

The opposition will almost certainly try to hold more rallies
|
Nearly two weeks after Iran’s bitterly contested presidential election, there are signs that the government is beginning to regain control.
With a heavy security presence on the streets, Wednesday appears to have had the least protests of any day since the result was announced.
But any idea that the opposition is about to go gently into the good night is probably an illusion. There is still a depth of feeling in this argument, on both sides, that suggests the dispute could rage for weeks or even months.
With the security forces and the state media under its control, the Iranian government has some powerful tools.
It has been reluctant to use live fire on the demonstrators, if only because that would just stir more protests, though guns have certainly been used on occasions. Short of that, the government has been pressing hard to close down and discredit the opposition protests.
Opposition’s options
But the opposition has avenues open to it as well. It will almost certainly try to hold more demonstrations.

IRAN UNREST
12 June Presidential election saw incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad re-elected with 63% of vote
Main challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi called for result to be annulled on grounds of electoral fraud
Street protests saw at least 17 people killed and foreign media restricted
 |
The opposition could try to evade the security presence by simply urging supporters to go out onto the pavements or sidewalks across Iran’s cities and stand in solidarity, something that has already begun to happen spontaneously.
Or it can launch a general strike, a radical step the leadership have so far been reluctant to authorise, or other forms of civil disobedience.
The government would be particularly nervous of a strike amongst oil workers, or amongst the rich merchants, the Bazaaris, whose role in bringing down the Shah is almost legendary.
There are options within the political system as well.
Former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a key figure behind the opposition, chairs the Assembly of Experts, a powerful body of clerics that has the power to monitor the performance or to dismiss the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
Dismissal would be a political earthquake bigger than anything seen since the 1979 revolution, but even a hint of criticism of the Supreme Leader from an official body would be highly damaging.
In recent days Mr Rafsanjani has reportedly been in the clerical capital, Qom, rallying support, though he has not yet openly shown his hand.
Then there is the parliament, the Majlis. The majority of MPs are conservative, certainly not Mousavi supporters, but also quite hostile to President Ahmadinejad.
They could cause problems when the president presents his new cabinet for approval from July 26 to August 19.
Already the Majlis speaker, Ali Larijani, has voiced criticism of raids on student dormitories by the government militia, the Basij, and a committee of MPs called in the interior minister for questioning.
Western role
In recent days the government has been trying to move the focus, increasing the volume of criticism of the outside world, particularly Britain.
Ayatollah Khamenei had ordered protesters to stop their protests
|
The Iranian foreign minister has talked of perhaps lowering the level of representation between Iran and the UK – a hint that the British ambassador might be expelled from Tehran.
Targeting Britain is a tactic that will certainly rally the support amongst the faithful. Even opposition supporters are curious about Britain’s role.
So foreign leaders, particularly US President Barack Obama, have been astute in limiting their comments and their criticism to the treatment of demonstrators, not the conduct of the election or the count.
Mr Obama has already played his role by opening the door to dialogue with Iran.
It is clearly one of the factors behind the current turmoil within the Iranian establishment. Hardliners must wonder whether the system can survive even a partial reconciliation with the US.
But above all this is an argument within Iran about the future of the country.
It is much more complex than pro- versus anti-Westerners, or even Islamists versus secularists.
President Ahmadinejad has his supporters even amongst Iranians who have chosen to live in the West and in the US.
Opposition supporters insist they are good Muslims, and argue that they would defend Iran’s independence as fiercely as anyone.
But the two sides have deeply differing views on how Iran should be run, and its place in the world. And neither is about to give ground.

French and Saunders
June 25, 2009
French & Saunders is a British sketch comedy television show written by and starring BAFTA Award-winner Dawn French and Emmy and BAFTA Award-winner Jennifer Saunders. It is also the name by which the performers are known on the occasions when they appear elsewhere as a double act.
Widely popular in the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the show was given one of the highest budgets in BBC history to create detailed spoofs and satires of pop culture, movies, celebrities and art. The duo continue to film holiday specials for the BBC, and both have been successful starring in their own shows. Saunders won an BAFTA, an Emmy Award and international acclaim for writing and playing the lead role of Edina Monsoon in Absolutely Fabulous, which lead her to the roles in the American sitcoms Roseanne and Friends. She won an American People’s Choice Award for voicing the wicked Fairy Godmother in the DreamWorks animated film Shrek 2, but more recently she has written and starred in another two BBC sitcoms, Jam and Jerusalem and The Life and Times of Vivienne Vyle. Her other work includes being the face of Barclays Bank and BBC America. Meanwhile French starred in the highly successful sitcom The Vicar of Dibley which received great critical acclaim as well as numerous holiday specials and future airplay. She also starred in another show Murder Most Horrid, which she wrote herself. She had a voiceover role as Mrs. Beaver in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, but more recently she has starred in Jam and Jerusalem, written by Saunders, and Lark Rise to Candleford, of which the second series is currently airing. For many years she became popular for her appearances in the Terry’s Chocolate Orange adverts saying the famous line “It’s not Terry’s, it’s mine!” and is currently the voice of W H Smith and Tesco adverts. She recently released her autobiography ‘Dear Fatty’, referring to Saunders, to whom she gave the nickname ‘Fatty’.
In a 2005 poll to find The Comedian’s Comedian, the duo were voted amongst the top 50 comedy acts ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders.
Their last special, 2005’s French and Saunders Christmas Celebrity Special, aired on 27 December 2005 on BBC One. In 2006, both Saunders and French announced that their sketch show was now dead, and that they had moved on to more age-appropriate material. Their last ever concert, and last ever performing as a duo act, Still Alive tour ran until the end of 2008, and then resuming in Australia in the summer of 2009.

Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV) Railway
June 25, 2009
NTV, the first Italian private railway operator, chooses Alstom for the supply and maintenance of 25 AGV trains
17 January 2008
The Italian train operator Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV) has ordered from Alstom 25 of its brand new very high speed AGV trains for €650 million. The contract covers the maintenance of the trains for a 30 year period which is not included in this amount. It also foresees an option for a further 10 trains.
The signing of this contract – which follows the Italian Transport Ministry’s agreement to award NTV a Railway Company licence and authorisation to perform passenger service in Italy – marks the beginning of the implementation phase of NTV’s project that will enable the private operator to start service on the new high speed lines early 2011.
NTV, created in December 2006 by Italian entrepreneurs Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, Diego Della Valle, Gianni Punzo and Giuseppe Sciarrone, will operate in the very high speed railway market in Italy.
NTV and Alstom will present the details of this contract during a press conference to be held on 7 February 2008 in Rome.
NTV will operate the AGV on the Italian high speed network at a speed of 300 kph. NTV’s trains will comprise 11 coaches and will offer around 500 seats. The AGV is built according to the most recent European standards of interoperability and follows the European and Italian regulations for the safeguard of environment and safety. Its traction system played a key role in the performance achieved on 3 April 2007 by the train that set the new world rail speed record and allows the AGV to operate at a speed of up to 360 kph.
Alstom has already manufactured 70% of the trains worldwide currently operated at over 300 kph. The Group’s very high speed activity is in constant development, thanks to its unrivalled experience and technological lead. Since the launch of the first TGV in 1981, Alstom has sold nearly 650 very high speed trains throughout the world. They have covered over 2.8 billion kilometres (6,500 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon) and carried 1.6 billion passengers. Their commercial speed has progressed from 260 kph to 320 kph, and they have set three world rail speed records: 380 kph in 1981, 515.3 kph in 1990 and 574.8 kph in 2007.

happiest children in Europe live in Netherlands
June 23, 2009
The researchers focused on youngsters aged up to 19. They compared the 29 European countries and used 43 different criteria such as infant mortality, obesity, poverty and housing.
The study showed the happiest children lived in Netherlands, which scored high in all categories.
The Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland) came next. The researchers noted the children in these countries are less prone to risky behaviors such as early sexual intercourse, smoking and drinking, compared to their counterparts. They also had low level of children deaths caused by accidents.
Norway heads the list with the best housing and quality of neighborhoods, which is vital for raising children.
Germany finished eight, France finished 15th and Britain was ranked higher, only above countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta.
CPAG reported despite Britain being one of the leading economies in the world, they ranked lower because a high number of children were living in families where neither parent work.
CPAG chief executive Kate Green wants the government to include more measures for child well-being in the budget. She told AFP:
We cannot afford a ‘do nothing’ Budget for children. The report shows a clear link between high levels of child wellbeing and low levels of child poverty.
“If we fail to protect families during the downturn, progress on child wellbeing could go into reverse.

Iran violence over civilians should end
June 23, 2009
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for an immediate end to arrests and the threat and use of violence by authorities in Iran.
He urged them to respect fundamental civil rights, “especially the freedom of assembly and expression”.
His comments came as there were further clashes in the capital Tehran.
Iran’s legislative body, the Guardian Council, said there were no major polling irregularities in the 12 June election and ruled out an annulment.
The ruling was reported by state television on Tuesday.
A spokesman for the Guardian Council, Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, was quoted by the English-language Press TV as saying the council had found “no major fraud or breach in the election”.
The ruling came after a rally on Monday had taken place despite warnings against such gatherings by the Revolutionary Guards.
A spokesman for Mr Ban said he had been following the situation in Iran with “growing concern” and was dismayed by the post-election violence, particularly the use of force against civilians.
A statement said: “He calls on the authorities to respect fundamental civil and political rights, especially the freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of information.”

He called on Iran’s government and opposition to resolve their differences peacefully through dialogue and legal means.
“He urges an immediate stop to the arrests, threats and use of force. The secretary general reiterates his hope that the democratic will of the people of Iran will be fully respected,” the statement read.
Some 1,000 people gathered in Haft-e Tir Square despite the warning from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards against holding unapproved rallies.
Basij militiamen wielding clubs were brought in to reinforce the police.
The guards, an elite armed force, vowed to crack down on new street protests over the presidential election results.
On Friday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei banned protests, prompting street violence in which at least 10 people died.
Severe reporting restrictions placed on the BBC and other foreign media in Iran mean protest reports cannot be verified independently.
Clubs and tear gas
Eyewitnesses said hundreds of riot police were used to drive the protesters from the square on Monday.
BBC Persian TV received an e-mail from one person saying: “There are lots of people but they are scattered, and lots of police guards. They are firing bullets in the air and using tear gas against the crowds.”
The Revolutionary Guards have close ties to the country’s supreme leader.
Video has emerged of Iranian police making arrests on Saturday
In a statement posted on their website, they said their troops would break up street protests and force protesters from the streets.
“Be prepared for a resolution and revolutionary confrontation with the guards, Basij and other security forces and disciplinary forces,” they said.
“The guards will firmly confront in a revolutionary way rioters and those who violate the law.”
The Basij militia was involved in quelling earlier protests during more than a week of demonstrations against the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
‘No memorial service’
Meanwhile, the fiance of Neda Agha-Soltan, the young woman whose violent death during clashes in Tehran on Saturday was recorded on video and uploaded to the internet, has described the events leading up to her shooting in an interview for BBC Persian TV.
She had been sitting with her music teacher in a car, stuck in traffic, when she decided to get out because of the heat.

“She got out of the car for just for a few minutes [and] that’s when she was shot dead,” said Caspian Makan.
Mr Makan quoted eyewitnesses as saying she appeared to have been targeted deliberately by “paramilitaries in civilian clothing”.
He added that officials had prevented mourners holding a memorial service at a mosque on Monday.
“The authorities are aware that everybody in Iran and throughout the whole world knows about her story,” he told the BBC. “They were afraid that lots of people could turn up.”
Election results show Mr Ahmadinejad won the 12 June election by a landslide, taking 63% of the vote, almost double that of Mir Hossein Mousavi, his nearest rival.
The Guardian Council, which oversees the electoral process, said it had found some evidence of voting irregularities but the number had “no effect on the result of the elections”.
An independent British analysis of the disputed election results has found irregularities in the reported turnout, as well as “implausible” swings in the vote in favour of Mr Ahmadinejad.
Analysts from St Andrew’s University and the Chatham House think-tank said votes in favour of Mr Ahmadinejad in a third of the provinces would have required an “unlikely scenario” of voting patterns.

Safe sex
June 21, 2009
Here are additional safe-sex steps:
- Be responsible. If you have an STD, like HIV or herpes, advise any prospective sexual partner. Allow him or her to decide what to do. If you mutually agree on engaging in sexual activity, use latex condoms and other measures to protect the partner.
- If pregnant, take precautions. If you have an STD, learn about the risk to the infant before becoming pregnant. Ask your provider how to prevent the fetus from becoming infected. HIV positive women should not breastfeed their infant.
- Know your partner. Before having sex, first establish a committed relationship that allows trust and open communication. You should be able to discuss past sexual histories, any previous STDs or IV drug use. You should not feel coerced or forced into having sex.
- Stay sober. Alcohol and drugs impair your judgment, communication abilities, and ability to properly use condoms or lubricants.
In summary, safe sex requires prior planning and good communication between partners. Given that, couples can enjoy the pleasures of a sexual relationship while reducing the potential risks involved.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s government said Sunday it arrested the daughter and four other relatives of former President Hashemi Rafsanjani, one of the country’s most powerful men, in a move that exposed a rift among the ruling Islamic clerics over the disputed presidential election.
State media also reported at least 10 more deaths, bringing the official toll for a week of confrontations to at least 17. State television inside Iran said 10 were killed and 100 injured in clashes Saturday between demonstrators contesting the result of the June 12 election and black-clad police wielding truncheons, tear gas and water cannons.
Police and members of the Basij militia took up positions in the afternoon on major streets and squares, including the site of Saturday’s clashes. There was no word on any new clashes Sunday, although after dark many people in Tehran went to their rooftops to shout “Death to the dictator” and Allahu akbar,” a common form of defiance in recent days.
State-run Press TV reported that Rafsanjani’s eldest daughter, Faezeh Hashemi, and four other unidentified family members were arrested late Saturday. On Sunday evening, it said the four others had been released but that Hashemi remained in detention. However, Iran’s ambassador to France Seyed Mehdi Miraboutalebi said on France’s RFI radio that Hashemi had been released.
Last week, state television showed images of Hashemi, 46, speaking to hundreds of supporters of opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi. He alleges fraud in the June 12 election, which the government said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won.
After Hashemi’s appearance, hard-line students gathered outside the Tehran prosecutor’s office and accused her of treason, state radio reported.
The arrests are the strongest sign yet of a serious divide among Iran’s ruling clerics.
Also Sunday, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said on state television that the number of people questioning the election results was large and “this group should be respected and one should not mix this big population’s account with a small group of rioters.”
Rafsanjani, 75, heads two powerful institutions. One of them, the cleric-run Assembly of Experts, has the power to monitor and remove the supreme leader, the country’s most powerful figure. The second is the Expediency Council, a body that arbitrates disputes between parliament and the unelected Guardian Council, which can block legislation.
The assembly has never publicly reprimanded the unelected Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei since he succeeded Islamic Revolution founder Aytollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989. But the current crisis has rattled the once-untouchable stature of the supreme leader with protesters openly defying his orders to leave the streets.
Underscoring how the protesters have become emboldened despite the regime’s repeated and ominous warnings, witnesses said some shouted “Death to Khamenei!” at Saturday’s demonstrations — another sign of once unthinkable challenges to the virtually limitless authority of the supreme leader.
Rafsanjani was deeply critical of Ahmadinejad during the presidential campaign and has the potential to lead an internal challenge to Khamenei.
His daughter’s arrest came as something of a surprise: In his Friday sermon to tens of thousands of worshippers, Khamenei praised Rafsanjani as one of the architects of the revolution and an effective political figure for many years. Khamenei acknowledged, however, that the two have “many differences of opinion.”
Khamenei has accused foreign media of making “malicious” attempts to portray a schism among the ruling clerics. At Friday’s prayers, he acknowledged that all four presidential candidates “have differences, but all of them belong to the system.”
Iran’s regime continued to impose a blackout on the most serious internal conflict since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
But fresh images and allegations of brutality emerged as Iranians at home and abroad sought to shed light on a week of astonishing resistance to hard-line Ahmadinejad and Khamenei.
The New-York based International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran said scores of injured demonstrators who had sought medical treatment after Saturday’s clashes were arrested by security forces at hospitals in the capital.
It said doctors had been ordered to report protest-related injuries to the authorities, and that some seriously injured protesters had sought refuge at foreign embassies in a bid to evade arrest.
“The arrest of citizens seeking care for wounds suffered at the hands of security forces when they attempted to exercise rights guaranteed under their own constitution and international law is deplorable,” said Hadi Ghaemi, spokesman for the campaign, denouncing the alleged arrests as “a sign of profound disrespect by the state for the well-being of its own people.”
“The government of Iran should be ashamed of itself. Right now, in front of the whole world, it is showing its violent actions,” he said.
Thousands of supporters of Mousavi, who claims he won the election, squared off Saturday against security forces in a dramatic show of defiance of Khamenei.
Iran has also acknowledged the deaths of seven protesters in clashes on Monday.
State media also reported a suicide bombing at the shrine of Khomeini on Saturday killed the attacker and injured five other people.
There was some confusion about the overall death toll. English-language Press TV, which is broadcast only outside the country, put the toll at 13 and labeled those who died “terrorists.” There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy.
Amnesty International cautioned that it was “perilously hard” to verify the casualty tolls.
“The climate of fear has cast a shadow over the whole situation,” Amnesty’s chief Iran researcher, Drewery Dyke, told The Associated Press. “In the 10 years I’ve been following this country, I’ve never felt more at sea than I do now. It’s just cut off.”
Iran has imposed strict controls on foreign media covering the unrest, saying correspondents cannot go out into the streets to report.
Reporters Without Borders said 23 journalists were arrested over the past week. The British Broadcasting Corp. said Sunday that its Tehran-based correspondent, Jon Leyne, had been asked to leave the country. The BBC said its office remained open. The U.S.-based newsmagazine Newsweek said its journalist Maziar Bahari was arrested Sunday morning and had not been heard from.
Also Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki held a news conference where he rebuked Britain, France and Germany for raising questions about reports of voting irregularities in hardline Ahmadinejad’s re-election — a proclaimed victory which has touched off Iran’s most serious internal conflict since the revolution.
Mottaki accused France of taking “treacherous and unjust approaches.” But he saved his most pointed criticism for Britain, raising a litany of historical grievances and accusing the country of flying intelligence agents into Iran before the election to interfere with the vote. The election, he insisted, was a “very transparent competition.”
That drew an indignant response from British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who “categorically” denied his country was meddling. “This can only damage Iran’s standing in the eyes of the world,” Miliband said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Iran anew to conduct a complete and transparent recount.
In Washington on Saturday, President Barack Obama urged Iranian authorities to halt “all violent and unjust actions against its own people.” He said the United States “stands by all who seek to exercise” the universal rights to assembly and free speech.
Obama has offered to open talks with Iran to ease a nearly 30-year diplomatic freeze, but the upheaval could complicate any attempts at outreach.
Republican senators criticized Obama on Sunday for not taking a tougher public stand in support of the protesters, with one saying the president had been “timid and passive.”
Israeli President Shimon Peres applauded Iran’s pro-reform protesters Sunday, saying the young should “raise their voice for freedom” — an explicit message of support from a country that sees itself as most endangered by the hard-line government in Tehran.
Saturday’s unrest came a day after Khamenei sternly warned Mousavi and his backers to all off demonstrations or risk being held responsible for “bloodshed, violence and rioting.” Delivering a sermon at Friday prayers attended by tens of thousands, Khamenei sided firmly with Ahmadinejad, calling the result “an absolute victory” that reflected popular will and ordering opposition leaders to end their street protests.
Mousavi did not directly reply to the ultimatum.
His camp, meanwhile, denied reports that he had proclaimed himself ready for martyrdom on Saturday.
“Mousavi has never said this,” his close ally, Qorban Behzadiannejad, told the AP. Mousavi’s Web site also said statements that Mousavi was preparing for death were inaccurate.

Comment on “Iran ,day of mourning”
”Hopefully the protests will remain (for the most part) peaceful and there will be a fundamental restructuring of the Iranian politico-religious structure which dominates the society right now. This could serve as a model for other Islamic as well as Western peoples of what is possible when a people demand in large numbers that things change.’
