His eyes struggle to open though they are flooded by darkness. Where am I? Terror and pain consume the boy as his 4 year old chest struggles for each breath of air. Layers of crumbled earth and stone wrap the young boy so tightly that his twisted body can only muster a few tears and a whimper so faint that it is impossible to hear. He is confused, scared and cold. What has happened? He struggles for each breath, unaware that he isn't alone under the fallen city, unaware that thousands of others are still breathing, still crying, and still waiting... But, waiting for what?
Another disaster had hit Iran, a country plagued by decades of sadness, despair and dwindling hope. In this moment of Iranian tragedy, the people of the world answered almost immediately and in a most remarkably apolitical manner. Some countries sent tents; others sent food, medical supplies, and water. The United States offered support in the form of tents, medical supplies, medical personnel, food, and a wealth of additional amenities and support. Interestingly, the US and Israel, two countries hated and labeled by the Mullahs as "Satans", made some of the most noble offerings. Their offers transcended politics for the sake of humanity, answering the cry of one human with the hand of another. But, as the world mobilized rescue teams and prepared other offerings to the Iranian people, the murderous regime of clerics in Tehran had already begun to strategize about ways in which they could use this disaster to their own advantage. How would they protect themselves against possible uprisings against their regime? How would they manage this crisis for the sake of their longevity, while neglecting to consider the time-sensitive nature of this disaster and the thousands still alive and buried under the rubble of Bam? Would they accept aid from the United States? Yes, they decided they would have to accept some aid from the "Great Satan".
The clerics decided it would be in the regime's strategic best interest to accept this offer. Turning away American aid would not only politicize a humanitarian issue, but could also result in increased internal anger and hatred toward the regime by Iranians who are on the verge of overthrowing the unelected clerics. Not to mention that turning down American aid would perhaps result in condemnation from other world governments, who, blinded by the golden oil that flows into their countries on a daily basis, would rather continue aiding and abetting these killers, while the Iranian people suffer. Israel, who almost immediately had rescue teams ready for deployment, and could have had their advanced teams in Bam within hours was refused by the clerical regime, not to mention professional American search and rescue teams based in Los Angeles who were also denied entry. While Bam residents were struggling to hold onto their lives, the Islamic regime was playing the deadliest game of politics by turning away the most important offers of aid... aid that could have saved thousands.
Earthquakes in this part of the world are by no means anomalies, as there are small tremors in Iran almost daily. In light of Iran's earthquake history, one would think that only a small percentage of the billions upon billions of dollars that continue to flow from the hands of various European nations into the hands of the clerical regime would be sufficient to fund a vast search and rescue infrastructure that could respond to an earthquake disaster within an hour or two of such an incident. One would think that the European foreign ministers who visited Tehran in October of last year, would at least have had some respect for the Iranian people, and could have requested that at least some of the billions of dollars, which Europeans regularly pay to the mullahs in exchange for automobile fuel, would be used to reinforce and strengthen the Iranian infrastructure. Of course, one would only think these things if and only if they were anyone but the Mullahs in Iran and the various world leaders who are employing every last ditch effort to keep their ally from being overthrown by an overwhelmingly popular democratic Iranian movement. Don't be misled, the money is put to use. This blood money is invested by the regime into each and every mechanism of suppression one could possibly imagine. The reaction time of the regime's outsourced vigilantes and mercenaries to Iranian uprisings is never more than a few minutes to an hour, though the response of the regime to thousands upon thousands of suffering Iranians was nonexistent.
Why, in 1979, did the regime support a racketeering scheme that entailed seizing large chunks of land in Bam that would be used to build poorly designed and badly constructed houses and shops, subsequently issuing fatwas (religious opinions) that canceled government orders that banned such development in the earthquake-prone city? Why did the clerical regime wait several hours and in many cases days before allowing offerings of aid to reach the victims? Why did such "leaders" who profess to speak the word of God prevent highly trained Israeli and American search and rescue teams from saving the lives of countless Iranians? Why did the regime order that tens of thousands of Iranians from various cities who had gathered tents and other amenities for their compatriots in Bam be turned away? Why do many world governments continue to shut their eyes to all the suffering and continue supplying indirect aid to this tyranny?
This was not simply a disaster caused by a tragic earthquake. This was genocide.
As the days passed, some Iranians were pulled alive from the ruins, not by the rescue teams who had been denied entry, but by the few family members who had survived. They suffered together. The little ones held on the longest, not knowing where they were, what had happened, or why. Soon, the suffocating dust and pressure from all around became too much to withstand. One by one the lights under Bam went out. Now even the youngest of Iranians have experienced the wrath of a regime that has murdered, tortured and raped hundreds of thousands of innocents.
In the name of all who have suffered, died and currently endure in the struggle for freedom, now is the time to rise and be most vigilant. From Tehran, to Paris, to Los Angeles and back, let our voices be heard and let there be little mercy shown to the tyrants who have only known the path of death and destruction. Demand that your government answer the cries of the Iranian people immediately. Not by supporting the so-called "reformers" who are nothing more than a regime-sponsored facade, meant to create the perception of bipolarity and the existence of some option other than regime-change. Demand that the clerical regime hold a free-referendum so that the Iranian people may freely choose the fate of the butchers. The war on terror goes on and will never be won until such regimes are no more.
Victory is near!
Dariush Shirazi

This issue is key. How can such a government forget about 30,000 Iranians and try to change the issue to stupid argument between so-called "reformers" and "hardliners" - could someone please tell me what the difference is between the two groups - As far as I'm concerned reformers are fanatics and hardliners are super-fanatics..
Great petition - I'll sign it for sure!!!! _________________ IRANIANS UNITE

Please sign this petition and collect as many signatures Now
My fellow Freedom Loving Activists,
Please support the Plea for Justice – Bam Earthquake Genocide petition and promote this.
Please ask friends and family members to sign it as soon as possible and also ask each person to ask others to do the same.
- Our best and most reliable friends are International Courts, Local Courts, Judges and Jurors that are independent of governments in all Free world countries, it is not easy to buy Judges in the free world.
- This is the top priority for the Freedom Loving activists in the world to document BAM Genocide case in different courts. It is extremely important.
- To document and pursue the crimes of the Islamic Clerical Regime by the Bam victim’s family who lost many family members is very important and they should file their complaints in both USA and EU courts.
- Due to the fact that the UN and Courts proceeding are slow and do not provide immediate fast result please do not be discouraged please be patient and presistance is the name of the game. My fellow freedom Iranians should see the complete picture. The idea is to put enough strings on the Clerical regime and many traps for them in every corner that does not allow them to do any move and in big picture this is called Check mate. For example if Khameni, Rafsanjani, Khatami, Kharazi ….. go to any Airport outside Iran should be arrested by International Police….
- By this action and similar actions no EU governments can support Islamic Clerical Regime despite all kind of bribes paid by Clerics and cheap Oil deals …. This can be another check mate…
- Always prepare for the worst and most difficult scenario and hope for the best.
Please remember the EU and American politicians are very afraid of their own freedom loving judges because the outcome of court cases is unpredictable.
The courts in the free world are the best friends of freedom loving people of the world.
The first step is to sign this petition and collect as many signatures, this is a multiple dimensional battle which we have to win.
Please Sign Now this is the minimum we can do for 4 years old BAM children who frozen to death on the first night of earthquake, we will not forget them my friends.
For Unity and Solidarity of Freedom Loving People Of The World, Please Click The URL to Sign Online Now and Ask Others To Do The Same:

***********************************************************
American Did Not Get Their Freedom From British Empire very easy without a fight, Iranians should also learn from Freedom Loving American people. The following painting is capturing the difficult battle between Americans and British. Today Freedom Loving Iranian-American Top professionals probably should fight different kind of battle (Courts and Media ...) to force the enemy to submission which is diffrent from the kind of battle the Iranian youth will fight in the streets of Tehran. This new schema is part of Integrated Connected Dots System with each dot knows its strength and operate independently and should have the same goal to Free Iran and Our homeland From Islamic Clerical Regime and EU.... and Iranians should not be fooled by Islamic Election games ...
On December 25, 1776, General George Washington led his troops in a surprise attack against the British, who had settled into winter quarters in New Jersey. The American forces crossed the Delaware River at night and defeated the British troops first at Trenton and then at Princeton. These victories, although minor, dramatically improved the morale of the American forces.

A Plea for Justice – Bam Earthquake Genocide
View Current Signatures -
Sign the Petition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Mr. Luis Moreno Ocampo, Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights United Nations Office at Geneva, Human Rights Watch Geneva, Reporters Without Borders, U.S. President, heads of the world’s democratic states, General Secretary of the United Nations, U.S. Congress, and the European Parliament.
A Plea for Justice – Bam Earthquake Genocide:
Ms. Adele Freedman, an American tourist who nearly perished on that fateful day as did tens of thousands of Iranians, said in her first NY hospital interview that "I'm only here because of the kindness of the Iranian people.." She was rescued by ordinary Iranians who had come to her aid, not by professional rescue teams or agents of the Islamic regime.
As it has been reported by many news agencies, the professionally trained rescue teams mobilized by the Unitred States and Israel were prevented to go to Bam by Islamic regime officials, while only small numbers of rescuers were allowed to enter the city only after the first 24 hours, which is the most critical time for saving people from Earthquake disasters. Rescuers, doctors, money, medicine, and food poured into Iran from over 70 countries, while the Mullahcracy prevented this aid from getting to Bam by creating many obstacles and delays. Much of the disaster aid has reportedly been stolen by the Clerics, their families and other regime officials. Why did the clerical regime wait several hours and in many cases days before allowing offerings of aid to reach the victims? Why do such "leaders" who profess to speak the word of God prevent highly trained Israeli and American search and rescue teams from saving the lives of suffering Iranians? Why did the regime order tens of thousands of Iranians from various cities who had gathered tents and other amenities for their compatriots in Bam to be turned away?
Over 20 years ago, the clerical regime supported a racketeering scheme that entailed seizing large chunks of land in Bam that would be used to build poorly designed and badly constructed houses and shops, subsequently issuing fatwas (religious opinions) that canceled previous orders of the Shah's government, which had banned such development in the earthquake-prone city.
Over the past 25 years the Islamic regime's agents, courts, judges and vigilantes have all committed acts of: murder, stoning, torture, assault, theft, destruction of property, arson, perjury, falsification of testimonials and material evidence, illegal surveillance, kidnapping, rape, blackmail, fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit all of the above crimes, cover-ups and every other form of butchery and depredation.
WE, the undersigned, as members of the civilized world, call urgently on the UN and leaders of the free world to set up a committee to investigate the involvement of the clerical regime in crimes of Bam genocide, crimes of conspiracy to commit genocide and crimes against humanity according to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and established International Law.
We, the Undersigned, therefore demand:
- That world governments declare the Islamic Clerical Regime of Iran as illegitimate and unfit to govern and therefore call for a free referendum to be held in Iran now by well-respected international organizations.
- That all top level regime officials be investigated and prosecuted by respected International Courts for genocide and many other crimes against humanity.
In the name of all who have suffered, died and currently endure in the struggle for freedom, now is the time to rise and be most vigilant and make your voice be heard.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
