Other evidences of using Lebanese imported Hezbollah are that during the first attack on the dormitories a group of foreign wrestlers who happened to be staying in the university halls of residence were also attacked. In other words the attackers could not distinguish who is Iranian and who is not!. Also reports from the bazaar suggest that many of the so called 'protestors' who marched down to the bazaar area on Tuesday and set fire to property and vehicles did not seem to be able to chant in Persian, and there was no doubt in the minds of those in the vicinity of the area at the time that not only this group were not students but that also many of them were not even Iranians!!.

For a regime who can so swiftly arrest 1400 students, why is it that until now not a single vigilante member has not been arrested, tried and duly punished for instigating violence? Any reasonably intelligent person can draw some distinct conclusions from the facts above. These are :

- The students are not involved with any group or organisation abroad, they are asking for some very basic demands and the outdated regime is unable to answer them.

- The students are not the instigators of violence, but are the clear victims of violence.

- The regime has reached a point in its soon to be terminated life that it has to import lackeys from Lebanon.

As always the regime is also asking the Iranian people to inform on their friends, children and neighbours. This can only further demonstrate the moral decline that the mullahs represent and want to propagate in society. What the people of Iran should now do, is to ring these numbers given out by the regime and flood them with bogus information and actually naming the supporters of the regime and totally discredit the set up.

	Sons and daughters of Iran ! it is now time to decide whose side you are on. The time for sitting on the fence is now over. Do you want your identity and your heritage to be identified by this brainless fundamentalist on the left, or do you want to join your brave heroic brothers and sisters on the right?. If you sit by now and do nothing you have let the forces of reaction, barbarism and backwardness to triumph. If you do nothing you have abandoned your proud heritage. The walls of the outdated Islamic regime of Iran have cracked. Lets dismantle it for good together!

Bulent Ecevit, the honourable prime minister of Turkey which has seen sponsorship of radical Islamist activists by Iran, said on Tuesday that the unrest in Iran, was the product of an oppressive Islamic regime.

"The Iranian people are highly cultured people and have a rich history. They could not be expected to endure an oppressive and outdated regime for a long period. So from the point of view it is natural for what is happening in Iran." The Anatolian news agency quoted Ecevit as saying. Mr. Ecevit, the people of Iran salute you and our heroic patriotic brothers in Turkey.

The government is due to stage a counter demonstration today by bringing truck loads of villagers from remote areas. Security forces and armed Islamic vigilantes took control of most of central Tehran late Tuesday after confronting protesters in some of the most violent scenes since the 1979 revolution.

Defense Minister Ali Shamkhami late Tuesday cautioned against any new disturbances and told state television: ``We will enforce security at any price.'' There was little sign of opposition as members of the paramilitary Basij forces and Islamic vigilantes triumphantly patrolled deserted streets with guns drawn. Hundreds of protesters had tried to force the iron gates of the interior ministry, which controls the police, as the riots moved away from the university, scene of daily protests against a police and vigilante attack during a peaceful rally last week.

Crowds earlier tried to attack the offices of the hard-line Kayhan newspaper, hated by many moderates for its virulent diatribes against them, but were pushed back by police.

Central Tehran echoed to the sounds of ambulance sirens, car horns, screaming protesters and policemen Tuesday. The stench of tear gas and burning tires filled the air and the tree-lined streets were littered with sticks, broken glass and rubbish.

Some residents joined the students in chanting ``We don't want a government of force, we don't want a mercenary police'' outside the gates of Tehran University. The crowd was swelled by Tehran residents chanting: ``Students, students we support you'' and ``Iranians die before they accept humiliation.''

They also shouted ``Army brothers, why kill brothers?,'' a familiar slogan during the revolution

Meanwhile President Khatami finally showed his true cleric nature and threatened the students, saying "The slogans of these groups are demagogic, provocative and aimed at creating social divisions and attacking national security," .

There were demonstrations across European cities including London, where around hundred people protested outside the IRI embassy. 12th July, 1999
Fifth Day of Demos - Protests All Across Iran - Protests have also erupted in several other cities in Iran: the national news agency reported student demonstrations in Yazd in central Iran and in the western cities of Khorramabad and Hamadan, and in the north in Shahrud.

Police clashed with thousands of students in the streets around Tehran university on Monday. Witnesses said police beat students with sticks and fired tear gas.

A conservative group has now called for a counter-demonstration outside Tehran University on Wednesday, while The governor of Tehran province has banned all demonstrations on Tuesday, in an attempt to end five days of increasingly turbulent demonstrations by Iranian students. hundreds of local residents and passers-by joined in the demonstrations. After twenty dark years, the dawn of our nation has come again.

Demos Continued Despite the Regime Backdown -
Despite the complete backdown by the regime, the demonstrations continued today. Today the students were calling for abdication of Khamenei from 'his throne' and attacked some government vehicles.
Further protests, including a sit-in by faculty members, were set for Monday. Along the way, columns of students chased away three traffic police cars that tried to block their march. A police minibus was surrounded by students but managed to escape.

``I am going to kill my brothers' murderers,'' chanted students, many of whom wore scarves over their faces to hide their identities. Protesters say students have been killed by police and vigilantes and now they demand the execution of police chief, Brigadier General Hedayat Lotfian, who reports to the dominant clergy.

Drivers caught up in the protest honked their horns in support of the students, while residents offered them iced water to counter the sweltering summer heat.

The students earlier rallied outside their dormitories at Tehran University, scene Thursday of a peaceful rally in support of press freedom which was attacked by Islamic vigilantes and police with iron bars, chains, and tear gas. Students are stepping up their demands for the resignation of senior officials in a crisis that has shaken the Islamic republic and put pressure on President Mohammad Khatami to accelerate his promised reforms in the face of consistent challenges from the powerful clerical establishment. ``We are not going to be satisfied until people at the top resign,'' said one student leader. ``Khatami has to do something or resign.''

The official IRNA news agency said the university in Mashhad, Iran's second largest city, had closed for two days in protest at the crackdown in Tehran, while students in Isfahan held a sit-in and hung black mourning banners at three campuses.

There were reports that students from across Iran were heading for the capital.

On the other hand there are some worrying unconfirmed news that two columns of IRI troops are heading for a crackdown towards Tehran.

Sons and daughters of Iran!, these days are some of the most critical days in the turbulent history of our motherland, do not sit on the fence, your children will be asking you what you did on these days. Do not let the answer be 'nothing'.

Violent Clashes at Tehran University - Violent clashes have erupted in Tehran between students and IRI forces and Iranian Government ministers have been unable to pacify students angry at new laws on press freedom. Interior Minister Abdolvahed Mousavi-Lari visited Tehran University after violent clashes between students and police and Hezbollah mobs . He told them those responsible for attacking the students would be punished and students arrested in the disturbances would be freed. But the students are demanding President Mohammad Khatami visit them to resolve the situation.

Police closed roads leading to university dormitories, where thousands of people were reported to have gathered in a show of support for the students.

The violence began on Thursday when right-wingers attacked students demonstrating against new press laws and the subsequent closure of Salam, a liberal newspaper that supported the moderate President Khatami.

Witnesses said that when police arrived they used tear gas and batons to storm dormitories at the Amirabad campus.

Latest news suggest at least 5 students were killed and hundreds injured. Security personnel were also said to be among the wounded. There has been no official confirmation of the deaths.

An Iranian journalist, who entered the campus before the violence broke out, said dormitories were burned, windows smashed and several cars and motorcycles destroyed.

But the Ministry of the Interior has said it did not authorise the operation and that all arrested students would be released apart from the demonstration organisers.

Ministry spokesman Bahaeddin Sheikholeslam said: "Police, without co-ordination with the interior ministry, intervened in the clashes and arrested a number of students." And the higher education ministry has severely criticised the police actions, linking them to killings of intellectuals last year.

NMIR : We will keep you updated as we get more news coming in ....
