Obama non ha condannato come doveva la repressione in Iran, non ha supportato le proteste. nè economicamente ne moralmente, ha solo espresso "apprensione".

, high ideals, and especially non-Muslim. With just these few requirements in Iran to become a victim of social discrimination and persecution by the regime. Mahmoud Keyvannia knows something. Yesterday, agnostic electrical engineer in Tehran. Today, dishwasher in Milan and "faithful to one religion, that of liberty."
A year ago, with a student visa, Mahmoud leave his country. Soon, though, they miss. The health problems of the mother as a reason, last January, to return home. He decided to stay until the presidential elections in June, when the power is re-elected Ahmadinejad. In Tehran, people pour through the streets. If they had never seen so many times the revolt against the Shah. "I felt it was a historic moment, Vali Asr took to the streets with my old friends, with whom I had the same political activity, denouncing the crimes of the regime with handwritten leaflets and distributed in secret university." Suddenly he sees a Basij Mahmoud approaching threatening, throws away his camera and tries to escape. Impossible. Behind him will come seven more, "They beat me with sticks and batons and taken to an unknown place. There were dozens in a room, but no one dared speak. They continued to beat and insult me \u200b\u200bfor a whole day after the release I had the right arm paralyzed for two weeks. Hospital, però, non potevo andare: sapevamo tutti che la polizia compiva arresti anche tra i feriti ricoverati».
Mahmoud decide, allora, di fuggire definitivamente. Ottiene un reingresso in Italia e ora vive ospite della Fondazione Fratelli San Francesco d’Assisi in attesa di avere risposta alla sua richiesta di asilo politico: «Se tornassi in Iran oggi, mi aspetterebbe quanto meno la tortura». Violenze e frustrazioni non riescono però a farlo desistere dal portare avanti la sua battaglia personale contro il regime islamico. «Ho contatti frequenti con gli amici rimasti a Teheran, ma solo per e-mail o via chat, perché al telefono è troppo pericoloso: vogliono continuare la protesta, stanno organizzando una grande manifestazione for the next few days. Nobody wants Moussavi in \u200b\u200bpower, just at this moment is the lesser evil. " So what is the Green Wave goal that is rampant in Tehran for three months? "Breaking down Ahmadinejad, Khamenei and then throughout the entire state system of Islam." From Italy, the contribution of Mahmoud "to actualize the dream of democracy" is all in the post on his blog to be (hamhame.blogfa.com) - "obscured in Iran - and that one day would translate into Italian," to here also know the truth. "
Iran's Mahmoud is the generation born at the dawn of the Islamic Revolution, who grew up during the bloody conflict Iran-Iraq, disillusioned by the promises of the reformist Khatami and then matured in the years to power of Ahmadinejad's fanaticism. "We burned a generation: to be young in Iran is a crime because it requires freedom, fun and culture. The movies that you see in the cinema in Tehran are all old and censored. For a Hollywood comedy you must go to the black market. The absurdity is that it's dangerous to buy a DVD or an American beer, that the crack or cocaine. " As evidence of the hypocrisy that governs religious ideology. "Hashish and opium are easily found in city parks and quiet it is used in any private party, but the government does not fight the phenomenon. It's as easy to kill if he did all without dirtying your hands. "
groped To survive the repressive system of the mullahs - the politics, religion, social custom - "you must divide your personality in one public and one private. Mahmoud says the experience: "I saw friends converted from Islam to Christianity, in order to avoid the hanging, hiding the cross under clothing or pretended to go to church only for cultural interest, such as a museum. If you walk with your girlfriend and you stop the police of morality, you have to say that she is your cousin, the prison sentence. If you wish to work in a public office, to enroll at university or obtain a passport you have professed Muslim, you're nothing else for them to kill. " Mahmoud
very likely, but he speaks it openly: "I chose to no longer live under the lies and fear and now I want to go back."
"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds that had connected with another and to assume among the other powers of the earth that separate and equal place in has the right to natural and divine law, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, which in order to secure these rights, are governments instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or destroy and to institute new Government, which places its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as the people seem more likely to bring security and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will require that governments should not be grounds for a long time changed for trivial reasons and transient, and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to seek Justice by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same objective, clear design to reduce the people to submit to absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to overthrow that government and entrust their security Guardians of a new future. "
Five people have died in clashes in recent days in Tehran: the PeaceReporter agency reported, citing unnamed sources premises.
The victims - according to a press agency for information on nearby Emergency - "are two girls, Fatemeh Ehterami Mobina and Bharati, and three boys, Kasra Sharafi, Kambiz Shoaei Mohsen and Imani."
Al Arabiya television , two days ago, announced the deaths of three people in clashes with police, but the news was not confirmed by authorities. Opposition sources reported in Tehran then not aware of casualties. The tension in the meantime continues unabated and we fear more clashes during the protest against the outcome of the vote last Friday, which also participates in the defeated candidate Mirhossein Moussavi.
Meanwhile, foreign ministers of the EU jointly launched today at Tehran's request to initiate an investigation into the conduct of elections and respect the right of the opposition to demonstrate peacefully.
The declaration was developed at a meeting of Heads of European diplomacy in Luxembourg and France decided to summon the Iranian ambassador in Paris to provide "explanations of the events" and respond "to the doubts espressi sulla regolarità delle elezioni presidenziali". Ma l'Ue non è voluta entrare nel merito del risultato elettorale che, secondo il governo di Teheran, ha confermato la rielezione del presidente Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, ma chiede che siano tenute in considerazione le denunce dell'opposizione sulla presenza di brogli e irregolarità.
"È una questione che le autorità iraniane devono affrontare e investigare", affermano i capi delle diplomazie europee in una dichiarazione congiunta nella quale esprimono anche "seria preoccupazione" per le violenze nelle strade e per l'uso della forza contro i dimostranti pacifici. "È essenziale - dichiarano i ministri - che le aspirazioni del popolo iraniano be pursued through peaceful means and that freedom of expression is respected ".
Foreign Minister Franco Frattini stressed that the lines of the Declaration of 27 resumes the position already expressed by Italy yesterday." We will follow closely the developments relating to complaints about election irregularities, "said Frattini." What worries us is the explosion of violence in the streets and squares. "The British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said he was also worried about the implications of the current situation of instability Iranian compliance with the commitments sought by the international community for Tehran to halt uranium enrichment and limit its program Nuclear civic aspect. "The implications are not yet clear," noted Miliband. "What we know is that to date there has been no Iranian response to the international community, including the United States." The French minister Bernard Kouchner has insisted that "allegations of fraud are investigated. "I'm the Iranian authorities that have to do it," he stated, however, rejected for now the possibility of an international investigation.
