Anti-government riot rocks Iran’s key Persian Gulf oil port
http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=103
Ganaveh, Aug 25 – Government buildings in this major oil terminal and Persian Gulf port were still smoldering this morning after day-long clashes yesterday between several thousand protesters and security forces.
Trouble started when a large crowd gathered outside the governor’s office to protest against the planned transfer of the local hospital to the nearby town of Borazjan. When officials in the governor’s office refused to give in to their demands, angry young men began chanting slogans against the governor and clashed with local police.
The confrontation quickly turned violent and protesters seized the governor’s office. Across the town, protesters attacked government buildings, including the mayor’s office and the customs department, and set fire to police vehicles.
A dozen demonstrators were injured in the clashes, as anti-riot units of the State Security Forces came to the aid of the local police. Security agents beat up the protesters with truncheons and fired shots to disperse the crowds. Dozens of protesters were arrested and taken for questioning.
Unrest in the strategically-located Ganaveh, a major oil terminal, has alarmed Iran’s theocratic leaders, as it inevitably aggravates the grievances of oil workers and their families in southwestern Iran. Despite stringent measures to prevent any protest in the sensitive oil and petrochemical sector, oil workers have staged several strikes and protest actions in recent months.

Well we need to see more of this in big cities. Why is it only in the small distant cities that we see riots? I would like to say that I hope other cities (big or small) join in, but we haven't seen a lot of that in the past. I thought it was pronounced Gonaveh?
Stefania, what does your signature mean?

Half a World (Europe,Australia and Japan) supports the Islamic Regime and other Tyrannies for oil and then blame the US for doing the same.

I find it amazing that these ANti-Government riots and clashes don't make it to major media inside US. I guess they've been told to hold off and wait until some plan or US Government proposes some action - by why the hell do they want to keep American's so in the dark about what's going on right next door to Iraq and the American SOLDIERs?

This next part isn't supposed to be part of the quote but I can't figure out how to separate them. I am not as computer literate as I should be. Sorry!
The mainstream media only reports on things of interest to liberals or things that can paint conservatives in a negative light in the U.S. It's really disgusting. The monopoly is breaking down though and soon they will have to report the truth to maintain any type of clout with the people. Look at the Swift-boat veterans situation..... The major media tried like hell to avoid these vets but in the end had to report on them and give them credibility because other media sources made it relavent. Take heart my friend, the days of liberal domination in the media are numbered. Once the real truth starts getting out there to the masses you will see a change for the better in America and the world by proxy. |
