, 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."
