Most Ardent Greetings to the Heroic People of Iran!
The Million Strong Participation of Masses in the Glorious Demonstration Against the Velayate Faghih (Theocratic) Regime
Combatant Compatriots,
In the all-struggle-encompassing history of our ancient country yet another bright day was marked. The courageous and conscious people of Iran, in closed ranks and in a grand peaceful display, challenged the despotic and reactionary rulers and showed their massive will and power to the government of deceit and lies tied to the Velayate Faghih (Supreme leader Khamenei) and reactionary puschists. Today's million-strong march was exceptional in the last three decades.
The gigantic march, which was called by Mir Hussein Mousavi and staged despite the Ministry of Interior's refusal to issue permits for it, once again proved that the Iranian people's voice can not be silenced through bayonets and deceit. The handling of this huge epic by the putschists speaks loudly about the alarm engulfing the ruling reaction. The night before the march, Valiyeh Faghih (Khamenei) mercenaries and armed tugs of the regime, savagely attacking the Tehran and Isfahan universities student dormitories, tried to sow panic so that they could stop the show of will of millions of Iranians through chaos and blind riots. Right now, the plan of the putschist reactionaries is to contain and diffuse the popular movement by all means possible. Firing at today's peaceful marchers in Tehran and other cities and killing and maiming a large number of people clearly proves the sinister aims and goals of the reactionaries. The ruling reaction knows well that the million-strong presence of the masses is the main obstacle in preserving the coup d'etat and the call for annulment of the election results, which was clearly voiced in today's march, is possible through this powerful voice.
The political moves of the Valiye Faghih and Ahmadinejad faction should be exposed vigilantly in this regard. The new stand taken by Ali Khamenei to review the complaints by Mousavi and Karoubi is only a tactical retreat for a new offensive on the movement and splitting parts of the reformers from the popular movement and eventual suppression of freedom-loving, reform-demanding and protesting people. To turn over the review of the massive fraud committed in elections to the reaction's "Council of Guardians", which is one of the organizing institutions of the massive fraud in the first place, and the collaborators with the Ahmadinejad anti-people coup is like delivering the judicial process to one of the main culprits of the crime. The call for a recount is clearly an undisguised plot by the theocratic regime to extinguish the anger of the protesting population and send them home and hence survive this unprecedented crisis that has engulfed it.
Relying on the popular force present in the arena of struggle, the ruling clergy should be forced to retreat. Immediate and unconditional annulment of the fraudulent results of the election, together with the unconditional freedom of all those incarcerated in recent days and also the trial of the armed mercenaries who have attacked the protesting popular forces and have caused the horrendous atrocities of the recent days are amongst the main demands of the popular movement at this current critical juncture. The presence of the reform candidates, Mousavi and Karoubi, at the million-strong demonstrations and their emphasis on annulment of the election results has indeed strengthened the popular movement and is a worthy gain in the current sensitive conditions.
Noble Compatriots!
Continue with your peaceful and violence-free protests against the will of the reactionaries, in all forms and using all means. The only way to confront the coup of the mercenaries bound to the orders of the Valiye Faghih is your vibrant and massive presence at the scene of struggle. The just call for the annulment of the election results is only achievable through your tireless and vigilant efforts against the regime's plots.
- Ardent Greetings to the Courageous People of Iran!
- Victory to the People's Struggle against the Ruling Reaction's Coup d'etat
- Greetings to the Martyrs of Freedom and Justice
