Unimaginable Horror In Tehran Today

An Iranian blogger (whose URL I will not publish) live blogging from Baharestan Square in central Tehran today captures but brief glimpses of the unimaginable horror that took place today. Bus loads of protesters were stopped and unloaded from their buses by "black-clad police" and literally herded. When the massing was sufficient, as the barely controllably distraught Tehran caller to CNN described first hand, hundreds of the regime's Basij thugs poured out of an adjoining mosque and commenced a massacre with axes, clubs, guns and gas.

From the live blogger's eyewitness account:

>More than 10.000 Bassij Militias get position in Central Tehran, including Baharestan Sq.
>Army Helicopters flying over Baharestan and Vali Asr Sq.
>The streets, squares and around BAHARESTAN (Approx. South-eastern of Tehran) is swarming with military forces, civilian forces, the security motorists
>The crowd have moved to the south of baharestan, the situation is bad, the shooting has started
>In Baharestan Sq. in the Police shooting, A girl is shot and the police is not allowing to let them help
>In Baharestan we saw militia with axe chopping people like meat - blood everywhere - like butcher

This is the Iranian regime, wading into its own unarmed people and axing them to death, bludgeoning women (seen as the greatest threat to the regime) and throwing them to their deaths from pedestrian bridges. The same Iranian regime whose embassy officials are invited to American embassies around the world to celebrate on July 4th, of all things, a successful revolution.

A video from CNN of a phone call to the network from a frantic woman in Tehran:

Eyewitness: Massacre in Baharestan Square

Reports this morning suggest thousands of police and pro-government militia used guns, clubs and teargas to suppress a large opposition rally in the square.

Speaking to CNN, the unnamed woman said it was a "massacre".

"I was going to Baharestan with my friends ... to express our opposition to these killings and demanding freedom," she said.

"But the black-clad police stopped everyone ... they emptied the buses that were taking people there and let the private cars go on.

"We went on ... and then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs ... came out of [a nearby mosque], and they poured into the streets and they started beating everyone."

The woman said the attackers started beating people on a pedestrian bridge heading to the square, with some people being thrown over the side.

"They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood, and her husband who was watching the scene, he just fainted.

"I also saw [the security forces] shooting young people.

"This was a massacre. They were trying to beat people so that they would die. They were cursing... they were beating old men.

"This was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom.

"There were thousands of people on the street.

"I heard the shooting and we just ran away. I didn't see what happened but I'm sure people are dead there."

CNN said another source inside Tehran had described people being "shot like animals".

The witness went on: "In the previous days they are killing students with axes, they put the axe through the heart of young men, and it's so devastating I don't know how to describe it.

"This is horrific, this is genocide, this is a massacre, this is Hitler. And you people should stop it. It's time to act."

Holy ****. They are literally being slaughtered in the streets. Something now has to be done to help these people, the time for words is over.

That's it. Upon confirmation of these reports, we should be willing to send military assistance into Iran. If that's the way it's going to be, arm the protestors with American weapons and join the fight. I don't really see much else we can do if all this is true.

We can remain quiet and call for the Iranians to show restraint, anything else will play into AmeJ and the Ayottolas hands.

Are you saying they are killing their own people just to goad us into action?

I am ok with playing into their hands at this point. At the end of a big ole bomb on the Ayatollas house again.

If the reports are confirmed, then there is little else to do.

If the reports are confirmed, I would fervently hope the world would join in a bit of "meddling" in Iran.
 
Probably won't even hear a peep about this since Michael Jackson died. :roll: Nice priorities our media has, huh?

Absolutely. There is nothing right about an unfair fight. Let the people be able to defend themselves.

You're probably right. Some bleached pedophile freak dies of a heart attack and the media goes nuts while Iranian people are massacred in the streets and we don't hear a peep.

Unless Barry finds the balls to say something weak again like "Ohhh, I'm a little concerned there, Ahmedinijad, that you're throwing people off bridges. Let's try to cut that kind of behavior out, okay?"

so obviously you do not see this as an internal affair anymore?
should we not just be funneling, ok smuggle arms, munitions, & funds into the country, just as they were doing in Iraq

I can totallly agree about supplying the protesters, that is what i stated in the condemnation of Obama for saying noting thread, but i do not think we can do something overtly yet

I think that the UN should get behind it or get the **** out of the way and let the West do something about the Middle East's problem child. I would hope other ME countries that claim to be free would do the same thing.

No I am saying the US is in no position to actively help the situation. Any moves will only give more strenght to the Tyrants in Iran. We must show solidarity with the struggle for freedom, call for peaceful resolutions and be ready to recognize any new power center if it appears.

Umm.....we've done that.

If this report is true, the response of the Islamic Republic has been to kill fellow believers.

If this report is true, the response of the Islamic Republic has been to declare themselves the enemy of the Iranian people.

If this report is true, the response of the Islamic Republic has been to declare themselves the enemy of Islam.

This report must be confirmed, before anything definitive is said or done, by the US, by other nations, or by the UN. However, there should be no equivocation in response once this report is confirmed: the response must be clear, categorical, condemnation of the Islamic Republic.
 
They need to turn these protests violent. The non-violence on the part of the People isn't working and their government has firmly set themselves against the rights and liberties of their people. The government will use violence against them, they need to respond in kind. They need a full out revolution.
 
no confirmation I can find on axes or people being chopped up. CNN has people being beaten.

We've done that and should continue to do that, the Iranian people are more then able to take care of things themselves just ask the Shah.
 
forgive my ignorance but is it not against the koran for a muslim to kill another muslim?
 
I'm not sure I agree with military intervention, but I certainly think the Iranians deserve more support than a strongly worded memo on a Saturday afternoon.

Condemnation means little to tyrants. The message needs to be more forceful than simple condemnation.

Reagan would bomb the Ayatollah. You think Obama's got the cajones to do something that proactive?

This will end with Obama saying "Now, Amehdinijad, little leaders who axe their people don't get big leader toys. You behave for a month, you can have a nuclear power plant all your own. Now won't that be swell?" :roll:

It must be more than mere words--that is undeniable.

It begins with saying "this we condemn." It proceeds to doing something about what we condemn.

Getting small arms and lots of ammunition to the protesters would be an excellent next step.
