Hello, leaders of Iran. We are Anonymous.

As the eyes of the entire world hold you under close scrutiny, the eyes of the internet have taken a similar notice of your recent actions. While the governments of the world condemn you for your suppression of human rights, Anonymous has taken a particular interest in your recent attempts to censor the internet, not only for your own people, but for the citizens of the entire world.

Such suppression of dissent cannot go unpunished. By cutting off communication of the Iranian citizens to the rest of the world, you have made it clear to us that the most revered of human rights - the right to free speech - is no longer important to you. By seeking to silence the voice of the people in an election and subsequently seeking to silence criticism of such a gross cover-up, you have perpetuated the anger and rage of your people. Anonymous has therefore made it our mission to see to it that the voice of the Iranian people can be heard around the world.

Just like another authoritarian religious extremist group, Anonymous will tear down the walls of silence using only the truth - the truth that you are trying so hard to suppress by use of violence, intimidation, and fascist laws.

As your people continue to riot and to speak out against you; as you continue to beat and shoot your own citizens in the street; as you continue to lie to the face of the entire world; know that the internet is watching - and we do not like what we see.

Knowledge is free.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.

Expect us.

‫امروز، سی خرداد، ساعت 7 بعد از ظهر این دختر جوان توسط لباس شخصی ها کشته شد‬

Basij shoots to death a young woman in Tehran's Saturday June 20th protests

June 20th
Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st.

A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim's chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes.
The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gass used among them, towards Salehi St.
The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me.
Please let the world know

TEHRAN (Reuters) -- Iran's parliament narrowly approved President Mahmud Ahmadinejad's choice for interior minister on November 18, after the previous minister was sacked in a vote by lawmakers over a fake university degree.

Sadeq Mahsouli, a former Revolutionary Guards comrade of the president, takes charge of the ministry responsible for overseeing elections seven months before a presidential poll. Ahmadinejad is expected to run but has yet to declare.

The November 18 vote in favor of Mahsouli -- 138 of the 273 lawmakers present, only just more than half -- will be a relief to Ahmadinejad, who has faced mounting criticism from parliament particularly over his economic policies and surging inflation.

Mahsouli had been a nominee for oil minister early in Ahmadinejad's term but withdrew after lawmakers criticised his wealth and lack of related experience. Parliament must approve ministers and can also kick them out.

The previous interior minister, Ali Kordan, was forced out by parliament for having a fake degree from Britain's Oxford University.

"Today we need someone at the Interior Ministry who can manage and put things together. After all, we have had some shakiness at the ministry in the last five to six months," the president told lawmakers in an address to win support.

Mahsouli had campaigned hard before the vote to secure the backing of lawmakers, many of whom were wary of the choice.

"Cooperation between the government and parliament is very important and, through this cooperation, we should disappoint our enemies," Ahmadinejad said in a speech that some initially reluctant MPs said struck a conciliatory tone.

Some still opposed Mahsouli, saying the pick was part of Ahmadinejad's reelection campaign before the June vote.

"This choice is a choice for the election," said conservative MP Hossein Falahatpisheh, adding that Mahsouli had been a campaign manager for Ahmadinejad in past elections.

"By selecting him now as his interior minister, it is like forming an election headquarters before the election," he said.

Minister announces final election results, names Ahmadinejad winner

Tehran, June 13, IRNA – Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli said Saturday that 39,165,191 valid and invalid votes were cast in the 10th Presidential Elections on Friday June 12.

Mahsouli said that final election results show that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has got 24,527,516 or 62.63 percent of the total votes.

He said that on alphabetic order, other candiates are Mohsen Rezaie Qaed, with 678,240 or 1.73 percent of votes, Mehdi Karroubi, with 333,635 or 0.85 percent and Mir-Hossein Moussavi Khamene with 13,216,411 or 33.75 percent of the votes.

The Minister put the number of invalid votes at 409,389 or 1.04 percent of the total.

He put the number of eligible voters at 46,200,000 and said 85 percent of the population had taken part in the event.

He said that people’s turnout set an unprecedented record and was a big epic, thanking all governors general, officials in charge of elections and the Iranian nation for that.


*note by me: the above fits the alleged "11 million votes" that ahmadinejad supposedly beat mousavi by.

I highly suspect that document that just so happened to be leaked and mass distributed. Additionally, given that Ahmedinijad was favored to win, I don't see how this was a fraudulent election. There is no evidence of foul play. All those protesters who have the green signs that say, "Where is my vote?", the answer is, "It was counted, but your guy lost". It seems that Western countries support democratic elections, as long as their guy wins. Look at Hamas.
