Under the skin of night a coup was carried out in Iran

There was presidential elections. There were candidates and there were the people who were preparing themselves to vote for their selected candidate. Out of over 400 candidates 4 were selected by the respective bodies, to stand for elections. For the tenth time after the Iranian revolution, a few women registered but were not selected to stand for presidency for being women! People, over 40 million of them were getting ready to vote. Rallys were held, gatherings, speeches and election promises all in the hope of a peaceful transition from one stage to another. Women formed a broad coalition and demanded to be recognised by the candidates and to be heard. Students, workers, teachers. Every one was getting involved in the election process. Hundreds of articles were published in the media, websites dominated the scene; people inside and outside the country found a common ground to connect with each other. One thing connected and united the majority of the peope: to oust Mr Ahmadinejad who brought shame and disgrace to Iran, who isolated iran from the rest of the world, whose idiocy at runnig the country, took it to the depth of corruptionand bakrupcy. People's unity brought hope. Hope was blossoming from among the rubbles of 30 years of a theocratic regime that had ruled Iran and the last 4 years which was the end of the rope. Three generation of Iranians have waited patiently to pave way for a democratic process not even from outside the theocratic system but from whithin.

As the world watched in earnest, the voting day neared and people waited paitiently to cast their vote, unaware that under the skin of night a scenario was taken shape. A deadly plot began a few hours before the poles closed. The streets of the capital and big cities filled with armed men. As people went home hopeful to the outcome of the elections, a coup which had been engineered to the very last detail took place by the President and his allies. An election coup!

Now we are in the fifth week of post-electionIran. Mass protests  lasted for two weeks with the participation of millions who chanted 'Where is My Vote?' Then came the brutal crackdown of demonstrators who have been rubbed of their choice. Since then thousands have been detained, kidnapped and taken to unknown places. Tens of people have been murdered by the security services, armed militia and civil militia gangs. A young girl who became the symbol of the struggles was shot dead in front of the world media. Universities were raided and students beaten up and killed. Teargas and pepper gas and other offensive devices have been used routingly to silence the Iranian people. The theocratic regime has gone far out of the way and is blatentaly fighting for survival. It cannot tolerate the simplest form of decent. It has detained the most loyal and even senior politicians of its own apparatus.

It is time for the world to know what really goes on under the skin of night in a country which has 94 per cent litteracy rate and its women have occupied 64 percent of university places. A country whose population is 45 percent under 30 years of age!   This is a country whose authorities kill in daylight and deliver the bodies to their families on the condition that they do not mourn for them in public, do not attract publicity, do not talk of the cause of death and do not write the cause of death on the tombstone of their loved ones!
