From KurdishMedia.com:

Patriotic Demonstrations Rock Iranian-Occupied Kurdistan

East Kurdistan-London (KurdishMedia.com) 10 March 2004: Large pan-Kurdish demonstrations have taken place in eastern (Iranian-occupied) Kurdistan in recent days.

After the signing of the new Iraqi constitution, which specifically recognized the establishment of a Kurdish federal unit with an explicitly Kurdish government in Article 53, spontaneous pan-Kurdish demonstrations broke out in various cities throughout eastern Kurdistan, including Mahabad, Sanandaj, Mariwan, Bana, and Sardasht. Crowds of Kurds took to the streets to raise Kurdistan flags and sing the Kurdish national anthem.

In some cities, these demonstrations lasted until midnight. According to the estimates of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI), there were approximately 50,000 involved in the demonstration in Mahabad and 10,000 in Mariwan.

The most sizable demonstration took place in Mahabad, where a group of demonstrators visited the grave of Qazi Mohammed. A major incident took place in Mariwan, where demonstrators toppled a statue erected by the Islamic regime of a young man who blew himself up during the Iran-Iraq war. Supporters of the regime believed that this young suicide bomber was a model of patriotism.

The Iranian regime’s forces tried to disperse the demonstrators, in some cases opening fire and seriously wounding an unknown number of them demonstrators. An unknown number of demonstrators were also detained by the regime’s forces, and cities were put under curfew and transportation between cities has been restricted.

This is the second time in just over a month that the masses in eastern Kurdistan have publicly responded to events in Iraqi Kurdistan with patriotic actions. Following the Hewler terrorist attacks of 1 February 2004, large memorial services were held in eastern Kurdistan in honor of the martyrs of this attack, and these events were attended by some Kurdish members of the Iranian parliament.

Unfortunately, the world media has chosen not to focus on the recent developments in eastern Kurdistan as the Kurds under the occupation of the Islamist dictatorship of Iran fight for human rights and freedom. As the Iranian regime faces increasing pressure from the outside due to its weapons programs and from the inside as the masses are more eager to fight their oppressors, it is apparent to all that the days of the Islamist regime are numbered. The statue in Mariwan is not the last to fall in Iranian-occupied Kurdistan.

berxwedan jiyane u jiyan berxwedane!

biji kurdistan!



As reported above if the information is correct, carrying Kurdistan flags by a small group of Kurds is not a wise choice, the Kurdish language has more similarity to Persian than Arabic, their culture is very similar to other Persians (Nooroz..), we have fought many battles together against Arab invaders in past 1000 years, and now we have to fight again against the Islamists Clerical regime together. Those small groups of Kurds that they think if they become independent are better off, are making a big mistake. Imagine if we had 52 countries in USA, would we be better off or now that we are one strong country and the only super power.
This is part of Mullahs strategy to create a civil war and delay the regime change.
The Mullahs are weak and the regime is dead but the Iranian people unity is very strong and we do not accept any internal civil war. We have to fight it together and rule Iran together under a secular democracy system with equal rights for everyone.

In order to win the War On Terror and destroy Islamists in the world we need strong USA as Super Power united with Strong Iran (under secular democracy system) united with strong Israel .

In order to win our homeland freedom with minimum bloodshed we must stay united and focused under leadership of Empress Farah Pahlavi and Prince Reza Pahlavi to Free Iran from the Islamists Evil. Currently Prince Reza Pahlavi is enjoying the support of at least 70% of Iranian people please do not under estimate our unity and strength.

This is the symbol of our unity.

From dozame.org:

TEHRAN, March 10 (AFP) - Around 100 Iranian Kurds were arrested after staging demonstrations to show their solidarity with Iraqi Kurds following the signing of Iraq's new interim constitution, two ethnic Kurdish MPs told AFP Wednesday.

"Over the past few days, residents of several Kurdish towns have taken to the street to show their joy and their solidarity with the Iraqi Kurds, who have gained the right of autonomy after years of repression," said Jalal Jalalizadeh, a deputy from the western Iranian town of Sanandaj.

"In many of the towns, security forces acted quickly, but unfortunately in some towns the demonstrators committed riotous acts and the police arrested around 100 people as a result," he said.

According to the MP, unrest was seen in the towns of Mahabad, Boukan and Marivan, with some protestors demanding "democracy in Iran and autonomy for Iranian Kurdistan".

Under the interim Iraqi constitution signed in Baghdad on Monday, Iraqi Kurdistan will retain its federal status, while Kurdish is recognised as one of the two official languages of Iraq.

On Wednesday, the hardline Jomhuri Islami newspaper also reported unrest in Kurdish towns, and quoted a police statement from Marivan as saying that a politician barred from standing in last month's parliament elections was among those detained.

The paper also said the demonstrators destroyed a statue of a young Iranian killed in the 1980-88 war with Iraq and used by the Islamic regime here as a symbol of devotion and sacrifice to the revolution.

"Apparently the inhabitants did destroy the statue," Jalalizadeh said. "For several years they have been asking for the erection of a statue of the great poet of Marivan, Mohammad Khanegh who died 30 years ago, but this has been refused."

Another Sanandaj MP, Bahayedin Adad, said that in the town of Boukan some 20 people were arrested, and 15 injured.

Iran has an estimated six million Kurds, and successive central governments in Tehran have consistently shown little mercy towards any moves in the Kurdish regions towards independence.

The area was the scene of heavy fighting after the 1979 revolution between Kurdish separatists and the regime.

The Islamic regime has also in the past made deals with the two main Iraqi Kurd parties -- the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) -- that Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based across the border are kept on a tight leash.

Iran Monday welcomed the signing of Iraq's interim constitution but failed to comment on its contents, which as well as guaranteeing Kurdish autonomy give only a supporting role to Islam.

To Cyrus:

the information in my original post is correct, verified by two sources personally known to me. similarity of language and culture is just that. . . similarity. the kurds are a distinct ethnic group with a distinct culture and are genetically more closely related to jews and armenians than to other ethnic groups in iran.

hpg is already crossing the border into iran and has been doing so for some months now. the mullahs can do NOTHING about it.

the only way iran will be able to stop a kurdish uprising will be to begin treating the kurds as human beings, with all the dignity that is due them as human beings. three east kurdistanis are close to death in scotland, death by hunger strike, which they prefer over deportation to iran and who cares about these three kurds, or the others who have been deported in the last year, that they are demanding an end to such deportations? deportations? sorry, i meant to say "death sentences" because both terms are equal for the east kurdistanis.

do you really think the east kurdistanis will be worse off if they were to join themselves with their brothers and sisters across the border in independence? not a single kurd believes that. go to south kurdistan and see what it is like to live in freedom. see what the south kurdistanis have accomplished in 12 years.

at one time, the south kurdistanis, under the leadership of barzani namiri, enjoyed a relationship with israel. there are those of us who are working to reestablish that relationship soon. . . very soon. let the arabs whine about it. whining is the only thing they do well.

one down. . . only three to go.

"Patriotic Demonstrations Rock Iranian-Occupied Kurdistan"


Idiot,

Iran is "occupying" Kurdestan?

Kurdestan is an Iranian province. Kurds, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, are part of the Iranian family. Kurdish is an Iranian language.

Try however you like. Take advantage of the presence of the Mullahs to score a few points of your own.

But you won't get an inch. NOT ONE INCH of Iranian soil.

Now go get lost.

.

Note to the Reader:

Just as the PKK terrorists are not representative of all Kurds, and just as Iranians living in Kurdestan cannot be blamed for charlatans speaking on their behalf, this idiot who thinks that Iran is "occupying" one of Her own provinces, when She Herself is occupied by the Islamists Republicans, is an isolated case of mental and moral degeneracy.

If he replies, please ignore this thread.

Let me make it very clear, this site is not supporting any separatist movement by any Iranian Ethnic groups. Iran under Islamists Invader to our homeland is destroyed but our unity is far stronger than before. At the time in history that EU is trying very hard to become united under one flag, only fools go after separatist movement.

Separatism does much damage.. Look at today's massacre in Spain--

This is not the case of the Iranian Kurds.

It's the case of the Turkish Kurds members of the PKK:

Chava,

you are totally right. The kurds untied with persians? How many times the sincer persians betrayed the kurds. They even don't trust each other. Cyrus, the Pahlevis are a clique of thieves and cowards, should come back to reign Iran? (by the cyrus was a median king- a kurd) A big joke!

Statements without facts and solid evidence has no value.
Currently after 25 years Prince Reza Pahlavi is the most popular leader in Iran, because Iranian people know that he is well trained and experienced leader for a very difficult task and complex job in near future, Iranian people know he is son of great and faithful mother Empress Farah Pahlavi, his father was a king who loved Iran, and his Grand father a great king, Reza Shah The Great was father of modern Iran.
Have they promoted Iran as a great country in the world? Yes
Did they love their homeland? Yes
Did we have respect of other countries? Yes
Were they prefect? No. - Are you Prefect?
Have they made mistakes? Yes - Don't you make a mistake?

Iran Of Today:
- 1 million War Victims.
- Huge unemployment.
- 600,000 prostitute in Tehran alone
- Center for Islamists Terror Gangs training camp
- Over 100,000 political execution victims ....
- Over 300,000 torture victims
- EU, Russia, China, Japan exploiting iran resources ...
- Where is $500,000,000,000 oil money in past 25 years?
-......

Please let us know who is better choice than Prince Reza Pahlavi for Iran of today?
If you think you are a better choice of leader for Iran, please introduce yourself?

Today, Only Unity... From January 2001 Prince Cyrus Reza Pahlavi


Source: http://www.rezapahlavi.org/messages/unityeng.html



My dear compatriots, the noble people of Iran,

I salute each and every one of you,

For over 21 years, a treacherous, inhumane and unpopular regime has ruled our nation. For over 21 years the clerical rulers of this regime have resorted to deception and demagoguery - pillaged our heritage and trampled upon our national pride. They have ruined the lives of millions of Iranians by bringing poverty, misery and disorder to our nation.

In all these bitter and horrific years, thousands upon thousands of Iranians lost their lives either in the senseless persistence of the war or in the dungeons of this regime - agonizing millions of their loved ones who are still in mourning. In all these years, suffering from the pains of exile, I have also felt your hardships with every inch of my soul. As part of my national duties, I have tried diligently to voice and reflect your aspirations in the world community, along with the injustice you have endured, inside our imprisoned homeland.

My compatriots,

Today your numerous messages, coming to me from the most remote places in Iran, have reiterated my hope in a national unity, which indeed, is the cornerstone for our liberty. It is based on this support and collective will, which I wish to convey to you the glad tidings that the days of our anguish and despair are numbered. Today, as a citizen of Iran, who bears greater responsibility, as a freedom-loving combatant, I have, with every segment of my soul, belief, and will, realized that we are only a few steps away from the gates of liberty.

In these moments, in these trying and sensitive times, more than ever, I sense the oneness with you - my sisters and brothers. With an unswerving belief in your resilience & freedom loving spirit, I have no doubt that the courageous sons and daughters of Iran will indeed take these few & final steps needed to bring back prosperity, tranquility and liberty to our nation. This regime, this benighted era and this un-Iranian system will be uprooted and the Almighty will assist us in this noble path.

My compatriots,

We are turning a decisive and sensitive corner in our struggle for freedom, finally reaching that pinnacle of victory after 21 years of opposing the injustice in our motherland - making our individual responsibilities and actions ever so crucial, momentous and conclusive.

With that in mind, I intend to have a dialogue with each and every one of you:

With you grieving & bereaved mothers and fathers, who lost your gallant children in the aimless continuation of the war, in foreign sand dunes, with you whom your dear ones were executed in the dungeons of this un-Iranian regime and are now buried in unmarked graves….

With you sisters, mothers and courageous Iranian women who have suffered from injustice and prejudice for over 21 years while your most basic rights are ignored and trampled upon…

With the young sons and daughters of Iran, the youth - the same ones who have shaken the very foundation of the clerical regime. With you enlightened students who are the forerunners of struggle against the injustice in Iran. With you young ones who are the brunt of the most vicious attacks and machinations of the regime aimed to destroy your future - to drown you in the infested pool of drugs, indifference and aloofness…

With you teachers and professors who have lost access to your classrooms, they have silenced you so the lessons of history and science or the glory, the heritage and the pride in our motherland could wither away…

With you Iranian workers who have witnessed the pillage of your factories and products, your services to your nation in the past is being ignored, your labor is undone and thousands upon thousands in your ranks are facing the agony of unemployment - amplifying your current social dilemmas…

With you diligent government employees and technocrats who are the victims of 21 years of incompetence and corruption due to nepotism. You are witnessing the total decay of the governmental sector infested with bribery and dishonesty…

With you villagers and farmers of my nation, who in search of a better life, had to leave behind your blessed farmlands for the quagmire of the cities. Today, you have joined the ranks of thousands of city dwellers who face the daily struggles in search of their basic needs...

With you merchants and business owners, who better than anyone else, have the pulse of this economy in your hands - its daily decay is making you more concerned about its revival….

With those involved in the arts, with you men and women of the pen, who have labored courageously to intensify the voice of dissent, the lack of freedom of expression, has filled your hearts and souls with a sense of frustration and despair…

With you genuine clerics who are witnessing the weakening and decay of the moral fiber of the society in the hands of these incompetent theocrats - with you who see the extent of corruption, prostitution, drug addiction, and the collective distaste of the society toward religion - with you who are ready to pay your dues to your nation by supporting the frustrated populace and eventually pursuing your recognized role….

And finally with you officers, soldiers and revolutionary guards who safeguarded the honor and the territorial integrity of your motherland during the 8 year war, with you enlightened members of the Armed Forces who wish to rid yourself of this dead-end, looking for an the appropriate moment to join the ranks of your innocent, freedom loving brethren…

I am indeed talking to each and everyone of you - my brothers, sisters and compatriots. With a resounding belief I wish to remind all of you that a new era has commenced in the path to liberty, in the struggle to bring down this wall of injustice and tyranny - a struggle which will no doubt, end all indignities, grievances, pillages, and demagogueries….

My compatriots,

Today, for every enlightened Iranian, it is clear as daylight that any hope in this regime, in its constitution, or its "reformist left" or "conservative right wing", is indeed futile and wishful thinking - resulting in further waste of time and more detriments to our national psyche.

Today we are cognizant of the fact that this obscurantist and theocratic system, under no pretext, no reform or effort could make itself compatible with our national interests and/or our democratic ideals.

Today we have learned that the various entities of this regime: i.e. its institution of Presidency, its Islamic Parliament and its Judiciary, are merely tools of deception and demagoguery in the hands of a certain clique and a few anti-Iranian officials who have wrecked and pillaged the national resources and have done as they have pleased in the last 21 years.

When they deemed necessary, in a matter of a few months, they ruthlessly ordered the execution of thousands of young Iranians who were imprisoned in their dungeons-- burying them in unmarked graveyards. When Iranians, from inside or in exile, dared to speak up against this tyranny, the regime either ripped their hearts apart, slit their throats or resorted to horrific serial murders, adding yet more badges of shame to the dismal report card of their anti-Iranian regime.

When a newspaper or a publication, even tacitly, made any reference to the sad state of affairs, the regime did not hesitate to shut them down. When writers spoke of liberty and human rights, they imprisoned them, tortured them and accused them of treachery and treason.

This is not the entirety of this regime's report card. Today, the agony of unemployment has added insult to the injury, causing further despair amongst the youth. Today, poverty and disease is rampant in Iran. Inflation, pollution, contagious diseases, deforestation, water pollution in lakes and dams and the destruction of natural resources are all badges of incompetence in this regime's shameful report card.

Today the oil and gas resources of our nation are being pillaged and there are no checks and balances to halt this trend.

It is indeed crystal clear that this regime is quite incapable of reform. These theocrats expect you to remain silent and inactive as a sign of gratitude for the infrequent and meaningless freedoms, which they grant the populace, in the hopes of buying time and prolonging their rule.

My compatriots,

These are the vital questions; are the basic freedoms and rights of a nation up for negotiations and sale? Is the 21-year report card of this regime not enlightening enough? Should we still put any faith in the futile hope that a regime, which has been solely responsible for all the miseries of the Iranian people, would mutate or undergo reform? Do we not hear the confession of incompetence uttered by the forerunner of this so-called reform scheme?

My compatriots,

If the regime blames the machination of foreign powers or the internal ill wishers as the culprit for poverty, economic bankruptcy, unemployment and social disorders, they are openly and overtly resorting to falsehoods.

Those responsible for this impasse and this obsolete & faulty political system, are the same leaders that from the early days of the 1979 Revolution have succeeded in devising anti-Iranian policies, have ordered the numerous executions, and are the sole culprit for the pillaging of our national resources. These are the same planners and the same clique who are masquerading as reformists and moderates in order to paint the immutable and despotic nature of this regime with colors of democracy. All of this is aimed to slow down or postpone the struggles of the Iranian people via empty promises of reform.

Despotic, cruel and totalitarian regimes, have never abandoned the scepter of power because of reform. The annals of history only attest to the fact that dissent & persistent struggles have brought such systems to their knees.

The communist regimes did not leave the scene of power voluntarily. The racist minority in South Africa yielded to the will of the people, only because the persistent struggles of the oppressed majority left it with no choice. It was the same untiring and collective presence of the Yugoslavians in the scene of struggle which brought down the unpopular regime in that nation. In the like manner, the colonialism of the British was defeated by the zeal and resilience of the Indian populace.

All of this, points to another fact that harshness and bloodshed are not the essential ingredients for these struggles. Alertness, presence in the scene of dissenting demonstrations, public strikes, collective boycotts and most important, the sense of unity, sympathy and unanimity, in today's world are far more effective means in defeating the totalitarian regimes - a process which has taken roots in our nation because of the free spirited psyche of Iranians.

My compatriots,

Today, in our country, a new breeze is forming, one which has the aroma of freedom and liberty. Today, we Iranians, especially our youth, are determined to take the helm of our nation's deluged ship from the hands of the current misguided captains, and with foresight and valor, direct it to the shores of security, tranquility, dignity and liberty.

Today, I see the shores of freedom, clearer than ever before in the horizon. A horizon in which the kind hearted people of Iran, after enduring a gut wrenching experience, have commenced a prosperous life…in a progressive Iran….an Iran void of any spite or grudge - an Iran without executions - without torture - without political prisoners - powerful, rich, independent and dignified.

I have no doubt that with the aid of the Almighty, with the national will and resilience, with persistence in our struggle, we will indeed bring despair to the hearts of those ill-wishers of Iran which intend to prolong the life of this regime and will soon reach our goals in instituting a democratic, popularly elected system.

My sisters and brothers, I will soon, talk more with you regarding freeing our nation.

My sisters and brothers, let us believe in ourselves!

My hearts beats for the day, whence in my own country, a birthplace that its distance has agonized my heart and soul, I will get to revisit with all of you and witness the replacement of sorrow and sadness with joy, hope and happiness in your eyes.

That day is not far! I believe. I have faith! Because the Almighty is on our side! Because our own will and zeal is our guide!


Today! Unity Only!


May God protect Iran!
