5 Iranians Arrested in front of the IRI embassy in Ankara

Peykeiran: According to the Anatoli news agency, July 8th/18Tir, 5 people who had gathered outside of the IRI embassy in Ankara in order to demonstrate for the aniversary of the events of July 1999 were arrested. Police officials announced the reason for the arrests as lack of valid passports. These individuals were busy passing out flyers in Persian and Turkish in regards to the events of July 1999 when they were arerested. Police Officials said that after their interrogation they will be deported.

------------------------------------

In another story about Turkish police's massive crackdown on Iranian dissidents and refugees leading up to 18 Tir, there is another story posted to Peykeiran on July 8th:
http://web.peykeiran.com/net_iran/irnewsbody.aspx?ID=16634

Mass Deportation of Iranian Refugees in Turkey

Payam web site: According to latest news from Chankari city in Turkey, Turkish police have arrested 53 Iranian refugees and their families and are in the process of deporting them back to Iran. These refugees are all registered at the UN Refugees offices and were awaiting transfer to another country. Their deportation by Turkey, which is under obligation to protect these UN refugees, is a violation of international human rights and UN standards and accords. Despite the fact that Turkish police have committed this hideous and illegal act many times already, many of these refugees are active members of Iranian Kurdistan opposition group with active political histories. Their deportation back into Iran is guaranteed to risk their lives. Therefore it is necessary to take every action imaginable through internation channels and the media to stop this heinous crime against humanity.

-------------------------------------------

Note: Turkey has increased its illegal deportation of Iranian political refugees since receiving lucrative trade deals with the Mullah$ in Iran. In return for these trade deals, Turkey is illegally deporting legitmate UN registered Iranian political asylum accplicants and refuggess. Shame on Turkey. Please write as many officilas as you can about Turkey's gross violation of international refugee laws.

From Mr. Suresrafil reporting on AzadiTV now:

He has heard about large gatherings in Tehran and Esfehan, but both the people and the anti regime forces are afraid of each other. They are mostly facing each other and staring each other down. Motorcycles have been confiscated.

Mohseni and Mirdamad squares have had large groups, also in Esfehan.

In Amirabad near Tehran university, the Basij are offering people food and drinks (sharbat) to everyone, nobody is taking it except for their own people.

Park Laleh is seeing a heavy increase in crowds. Most likely tomorrow we will have a much better picture of these demonstrations.

He reads a report from Tehran about slogans that can be seen written all over Tehran against Khamenei such as Marg Bar Khamenei. Same from Hamedan.

Email from Tehran: the best way for a non-violent civil disobediance is through destroying any signs and symbols of the oppressive regime such as destroying street signs, especially those named after the regime's favorite people and symbols.


He is talking much about the problems of picking just one day for demonstrations. Especially when the regime has been preparing to combat this day for 2 months. Everyday is a day for demonstrations.
