Iran, protest runs on the Web

"The wind of democracy is blowing on the Arab countries that Bush has not invaded." It 's like to live "the collapse of communism in 1989" because "Mubarak and Khamenei have the same fate." The messages on Twitter as a result of the demonstrations erupted in Iran yesterday (day called "25 Bahman" in the local calendar, ed) show the domino effect against oppressive regimes that, after having swept Tunisia and Egypt, is expanding beyond the boundaries of Maghreb.

The network shows as well as the medium where they run the news. And if in 2009, following the presidential election have confirmed that Ahmadinejad, the Internet had been incessant attacks by the government, but today, Iran News, said that despite possible blackouts, the scheme will not stop the flow of information.

In recent days, Ahmadinejad, emphasizing the rebellious spirit of the citizens of Egypt, had ordered the Jews of the Middle East to return to Israel before being caught, but these could be his last days to lead the country. One scenario that emerges from some elements of the news: the police chief Ahmad Reza Radan has accused the Mujahedin have killed one protester and the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as anticipated by the New York Times, will announce a new strategy of intervention ' American administration in favor of the 'Internet Freedom'.

This is a grant program in order to break down every barrier that many dictatorships impose on the network in your country. Even after the revolt in Egypt, the United States 'recruit' the web as an essential tool to protect those who protest in the world to promote democracy and freedom.

E 'come this time of the protests in Bahrain, Yemen and Iran, where the clashes are occurring more harsh. In the same streets of Tehran where the government had celebrated the fall of Mubarak, now the People's Mujahedin are facing their people. Twitter Neda's voice calls to the leaders of the "Iranian opposition how they intend to save the 1500 demonstrators were arrested and already transferred to the prison torture in Evin (the same where it is still held Sakineh, the woman imprisoned for adultery and became a symbol of repression of the scheme) and confirms the death of the boy injured in clashes on Monday, whose names have not yet been disclosed.

The death brings to two. But the government does not open to any request for change. As reported by the website Green Voice of Freedom, the reformist leaders Mousavi Kharoubi and are under house arrest. The two telephone lines were cut, and alternate shutdown of Internet and mobile phones.

On Facebook, the Iranian blogger Saeed Valadbaygi continues to describe the advance of the protests and video post. Meanwhile Zuckerberg rise of social media on hundreds of pages in support of "Free Iran '. Despite the efforts of protesters, the government still holds fast to demonstrate its intention to suppress any attempt at rebellion and 50 Conservative MPs have called for regime death penalty for mouse and Kharoubi.

Already in 2009, during the riots of the "Green Wave, the regime was severe and widespread in revenge against dissidents, and even now proves not to be changed. But Iran, as was the first for Tunisia and Egypt, did not give up.
