Millions celebrate the "Pagan" Sizde Bedar
SMCCDI (Information Service)
Apr 1, 2004
http://www.daneshjoo.org/smccdinews/article/publish/article_4170.shtml
Millions of Iranians celebrated, today, the traditional Sizde Bedar qualified by the dogmatic clerics as "Pagan Tradition". Hundreds of them used the occasion to send another political message to the World by showing their rejection of the Theocratic system.
Crowd gathered from the late hours of the morning in the Capital's and in most provincial cities' parks while many moved out of the cities.
In most places, such as, in Tehran's Park Mellat, Manzarieh, Darband and Laleh, these gatherings were used by many freedom fighters in order to shout slogans against the regime and to call for a UN watched free election on the choice of the future Iranian regime.
Sporadic clashes took place near the Evin Political jail as some of the families of political prisoners and tens of protesters gathered in order to reject the persistent rights abuses. Other clashes took place near the governmental TV HQ located beside Park Mellat as security agents tried to move in order to arrest identified "trouble makers".
Iranians will go back to their home, later this afternoon, and will end the 13 days celebration which started with the beginning of the Iranian New Year on March 20th. _________________ Referendum AFTER Regime Change

millions come out but only hundreds protest???
is that a joke???lets do the math
1,000,000=1000x1000
1000=100x10
so if millions came and hundreds protested then 0.00005% protested and i think i did the math wrong so it would be less....
during the shah most ppl protested in these type of gatherings _________________ iran iranam iraaanam

You are wrong on two accounts. First your math.
100/1,000,000=0.0001 x 100% = 0.01 %.
And this is a day of celebration and relaxation, one of our most beloved traditions. Why should families ruin their day protesting?

I agree with Sourena that it's a day to be celebrated and enjoyed. It is a Persian tradition and joyful celebrations of life and nature is a huge part of our culture.
At the same time, it was a peaceful DEMONSTRATION against the anti-Iranian regime, simply because they hate our culture and can not stad joyous celebrations by nature!
So the Iranians that celebrate their cultural events by millions every year, know very well what they are doing and that is keeping their cultural values alive as well as showing a finger to the occupant Islamic forces of Evil Mullahs _________________ Paayande Iran |
