Iran zindabad! Allah'u'akbar!
These are excellent, raw dispatches from the center of the action. Thank you Parvez for these reports. I am so afraid for the brave protesters yet cautiously hopeful.
NS and ALL the daughters of Iran, as a father of 2 daughters myself, my heart and prayers go out to you. About 38 years ago I was also involved in a revolution that sprang from the denial of election results. After a lot of blood-shed we achieved our freedom. YOU will get yours too. I will be waiting for that day, when all of you can stand side by side with my daughters and proclaim to the world: We are FREE, we are EQUAL, we are CITIZENS of this world.
From an old revolutionary to the new blood -- VICTORY will be ours.
Be safe, but prepare to sacrifice.
Allahu-Akbar
Thank you so much NS.....we are watching and praying for all of you.
I hope the people of Iran know that we stand with them. Americans.. take note, This is what brave people do when their leaders fail them.
Thank you.
