|

Reports from most Iranian cities are stating about the massive popular boycott of the Islamic Clerical regime's sham elections. Millions of Iranians have stayed home and far from official ballot boxes in order to show the rejection of the Islamic republic in its totality. Reports from Tehran, Shiraz, Mashad, Kerman, Malayer, Abadan, Bookan, Esfahan, Tabriz, Marivan, Amol, Sannandaj, Rezai-e and Gonabad are all stating about dead cities in another show of massive Civil Disobedience.
The people have spoken and the clerics know it clearly and now the clerics have a choice to give up peacefuly and go back to their Mosque or resist and wait for ultimate justice by the people!
The Iranian people have declared the Clerical Regime illegitimate, a mafia operation that no longer has any support.
Now The EU, Japan and U.S. governments should officially declare the Islamic Clerical Regime of Iran as illegitimate and unfit to govern .....
The Referendum Against Islamic Clerical Regime Won By Massive Boycott and Civil Disobedience By The People

LONG LIVE PEOPLE OF IRAN!!!!!
LONG LIVE IRANIAN STUDENTS!!!!
LONG LIVE IRANIAN YOUTHS!!!
Or like Stefania says, Dorood bar Iran daneshjoo!
No surprise at all, I knew the Iranian people would be clever. Thanks to Iranian media from USA, our people will no more fall in the regimes traps. Remember these TV:s didn´t exist some years ago, neither Radio Farda which also is a good help since it reaches the whole country.
Congratulations to all Iranians!!! |

Low turnout in Iranian election after banning of 2,300 candidates
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=493561
By Angus McDowell in Tehran
21 February 2004
Turnout in Iran's parliamentary elections appeared to be low yesterday, despite a pronounced effort by conservatives to mobilise the vote.
Early indications of urban voting patterns suggested that people had stayed away from polling stations amid widespread disillusionment with the electoral process.
Leading hardliners launched a bitter attack on reformists, who had urged voters to stay at home. "Those who whisper 'don't vote' are traitors to the country and Islam," said Ahmad Jannati, head of the Guardian Council, which banned 2,300 reformist candidates from running. The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called on voters to deliver a "slap in the face to America" by turning out in strong numbers. State television played patriotic songs and showed footage of mass participation in previous elections.
The President, Mohammad Khatami, had labelled the elections "unfair". But he told journalists that the public could create a surprise by turning out to vote in massive numbers. The conservative "Coalition of the Builders of an Islamic Iran" is expected to take the parliament, known as Majlis.
Most voters who turned out appeared to be diehard conservatives or religious people who had been told it was their duty to vote. Others said they wanted the official mark on their identity card showing they had voted. There have been rumours recently that proof of electoral participation would ease government job or university applications. "My only reason to vote is not to get into trouble taking exams. I've been picking names from the list at random," said Fereshteh, a 20-year-old woman outside a north Tehran polling station.
At another polling station in north Tehran, officials said 700 people had voted half an hour before the polls were due to close. The station serves several thousand people. In rural areas, where local politics and tribal patronage are more important than national issues, turnout was expected to be high. |

LONG LIVE THE IRANIAN PEOPLE..THEY HAVE SHOWN MORE THEN EVER THEIR TOTAL REJECTION FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE REGIME.
DID EUROPE AND JOHN KERRY GET THE MESSAGE?
Today's Great Satans are the Iranian People and the Satellite Broadcasts.
Khamenei hoped for people's turnout as a "slape in the face of America"
Today's Fiasco was a slap in face to the Islamic Republic Regime and all their supporters in the world.
It's an exemple for the other dictators and men which think to claim a right to torture the innocents.
After Afghanistan,Iraq and Liberia, now Haiti,Iran and Cuba this year will conquer their Freedom.
The fight of these people is suceeding.
Viva La Libertad!
Long Live Freedom
Viva La Liberta'
Vive La Liberte'
Dorood bar Azadi!

The true and exact number is very difficult to say. We should not forget the Master of Terrors are also master of lying and cheating. They can make what ever number that they wish, it does not matter.
Facts :
Tehran major roads (i.e. Pahlavi Road) and streets with population of 16 millions and heavy traffic was quiet and empty for first time in past 25 years. |

Due to the fact that the Regime in Iran has the following ingredients:
- Terrorist
- Stalinist
- Islamist
- Mafia
- Clerics
- Corrupt
- Fascist
Therefore 90% of the X% who voted were afraid of the Clerics and they can not be considered as supporters of the election or the regime. We should not forget this is the kind of regime that sent the children to minefield in order to survive…..
In order to plunder Iranian resources the EU governments (England, France, Germany, Italy)
supported the regime in past 25 years with the above ingredients. Now England, France Italy, and Germany must clarify their positions? |

•In the morning of the elections day, Tehran streets are empty, and it feels like a New Year holiday, Tehran-based lawyer Mohammad-Hossein Aghasi tells Radio Farda. Unlike previous elections, during which voting centers were so crowded that people had to wait on line for hours in order to vote, this morning no traffic could be seen in several voting centers, he adds. The voice of the people, which turned into a loud but silent cry in the empty streets today, should be heard by the authorities, before these silent cries turn into a revolution; which as our people and people everywhere in the world have experienced, always accompanies death and destruction. The low turnout today is a message, which I hope the authorities will hear, Aghasi says. (Fereydoun Zarnegar)
•Tehran-based reporter Iman Azimi says election officials at an uptown voting center told him the voter turnout appears to be lower than that of last year's municipal elections, which was the lowest in the history of the Islamic Republic. He adds that young people send text messages using their mobile phones in a campaign against voting. He adds that most young people preferred to spend their weekend (Friday) skiing or hanging out with friends on the mountains north of Tehran, a trend which was also reported by AFP in a dispatch from Tehran.
•Several people reached by our reporters in the Kurdistan province cities says only the government employees and the armed forces' personnel appeared to be voting. A Tabriz voter says soldiers at an army barracks where his brother serves were told to turn in their ID cards so that ballots could be filled in their names.
•In Khatunabad, of the Kerman province, the scene of bloody labor protests in which the special police forces killed four demonstrators and wounded 150 last month, a resident tells Radio Farda of almost no turnout.
•In Marivan, Kurdistan, where angry demonstrators ransacked local campaign headquarters of conservative candidates last week, a resident tells Radio Farda that people curse anyone who votes, adding that the cities of the Kurdistan province, which are close to the Iraqi border, have received anti-election propaganda literature distributed by exile anti-regime opposition groups.
•Khoramabad-based journalist Abbas Dalvand says voter turnout was low, and those who voted were motivated by tribal, not political, interests.
•Rasht-based Reporter Kambiz Karimi said in some Gilan province cities, conservative candidates had pre-paid voters, nevertheless, he adds, the turnout is expected to be lower than 12 percent.
•Shiraz reporter Farid Yasamin says, since only one reformist candidate had been approved to run for the city's Majles seat, low voter turnout was predictable.
•Tehran-based journalist Kiarash Tehrani says most government employees and factory workers voted to avoid being confronted by their bosses at work. |

Iranian people should not wait for any words of support from EU governments. Now that the Iranian people showed their Unity and Power by boycotting the election, the next step is complete General Strike (Oil Flow To EU and Japan must be stopped). Today the people have shown to the Regime's Security forces that they are united against Clerics and if the security forces wish to survive then they must leave Clerics Now and join the people before it is too late.
Now Iranian Should Prepare For General Strike To Overthrow The Regime |

Here in Italy, news has started like that: "Elections in Iran:hard-liners win-45-53% of people vote"
Surely these are the numbers given by the regime. _________________ Referendum AFTER Regime Change

According to radio Farda the Islamist Stalinist regime announced that 32,000 people voted in Marivan, the people are saying at most 200.
It seems the Islamist Stalinist Regime will make what ever number that they want. |
