of Parvin Ardalan *
"On the morning of the 9th July 2007 shocked the insurgent creativity again the body of our confused society. Very quickly spread the news of the arrest of members of the "Central Committee of the Office for the strengthening of the unity ', Bahare Hedayat, Mohammad Hashemi, Ali Nikounesbati, Mehdi Arabshahi, Hanif Yasdani, Ali Waqfi. They sit on the floor and talk to us, framed by the images they hold up. The sit-in sit-ins and the picture of these six people before the building of Amirkabir University, is the creative revival of the events of 1999 on the university campus, especially for the forgetful. They [students] are there this time, unlike the pressure groups [Basij groups] attacked us and ask us against the confusion of the infectious period to make creative resistance. They force us to the events on the university campus of 9 July to remember, they force us not to forget the struggle for the release of the eight students of Amirkabir University. They have announced their sit-in not previously publicly, but their presence was public, so they set the Ängslichen and well-disposed towards something. The price of this presence is their arrest and the arrest of ten other members of the agency to strengthen the Unit.
In a climate that is determined by the broker economics and life on the basis of cost-benefit thinking in which control all dimensions of life and the intellectual showing off the political method of the time, any price to pay to the would be declared as irrational, not because of pressure and oppression, but because of the protection of their political and opportunist business interests.
Any change will move into the future. The resistance movements but are a sign of a conscious choice against the common infectious and fatalism.
our consciousness set in turmoil, not because they want to play hero or extremists , but because they are against the opportunism of the time.
The public show of their images would have, even before news of the sit-ins became known, had their effect. Perhaps because the usual attack their images of their times and move the spirit of the people. No one can bloody shirt in the hands of Ahmad Batebi on 9 July 1999 forgotten. Who can forget the pictures, as Delalarm Ali is on the ground, as Jila Bijaqub in handcuffs, like the women on 22 Khordad be beaten. What was
legend can replace the bloody image of a girl who attacked because of his clothing from the police?
What legend, the image of a worker who is hanged himself in protest, replacing, which legend may exceed the suffering, repression and protest this worker? Who can beat the bloody cruelty of a government policy if we think of the image of a man, they have hung a water jug at the neck to humiliate him. [A water jug, which one to use the toilet]
What story can evoke more disgust than the picture of a woman or a man who put half in the ground to be stoned?
This haunting and memorable images that reproduce daily, will use there, where else would conceal the official media, the protests or demagogic than 8 clock 30 messages circulate and turn. These images will remain and lead to eye pain, such as "the hat of Clement, which even caused nightmares. The images of the many Delaram and Ahmad Batebis hunt one remembers people fear, for they will never soften, because of the wiles of politicians answers. These images are fragments of a truth that they want to hide forever. There are pictures of an open cruelty that can not conceal transfiguring smile of the media and no golden and illusory movements. There are images of realities that keep the memories alive.
Shadow of a creeping coup
In recent months, attacks on individuals and society Groups increased. The creeping coup by the gentle safety similar to the machine-gun fire, which was destroyed, the memories, the activities of women's movements, the work of the syndicate, to destroy the student and the human rights movement. They are cited in the courts to get heavy sentences, such as flogging and imprisonment. The illegal arrests to be continued and expanded.
Hale Esfandiari's arrest, the ban for Nasi Asima, the unexpected sentences for the female members of the student movement, for Delaram Ali and Aliye Eqdamdust, continued detention of eight students of Amirkabiruniversität the arrest of members the agency to strengthen the unit, which was accompanied by air shots from raids on residential communities and the sealing of a student offices, the arrest of Mansour Osanlou leader who Busgewerkschaften, the arrest of Amir Jaqubali member of the campaign 'One Million Signatures' belong to the actions taken over the safety of the rescuers, so that each of civic activists relief is prevented. It does not seem to stop as if these measures. The security people have gone into position. You do not want that there is a next 7th December 1953 is [student demonstration against the Shah]. They have gone into position so that there is no March 8 is more, so no opportunity for union protests exist, so that no more opportunity arises to demand civic rights in elections, so they do not have to admit that we are moving at all, so they are in a climate of controlled elections the raising of the police look at - and this in a history-making time of the civil society movements.
The shadow of this gentle military security is broad. People should get used to fear and military order. But they have created tools, such as the fight against the bad clothing 'or the' fight against the mob ', so is every man his prescribed way. The officials know very well that if was in the early years of the revolution considered the resistance against concealment or against the dress code itself as a rebellion against the ideological values, whereas now it is every officer who wants to enforce the law is clear that It is no longer about the values. Because their contacts are mostly young women and girls who do not know the revolution. In the era of the atomic rest, it's all about an illegitimate power demonstration, based on trembling ideological pillars. Both know the state officials and the women that these demonstrations might lead either to the fact that someone's religious rules still follows that a religious leader also tries conviction only to be done. In reality, the pitcher has been broken for a long time. Even the government officials do not always execute the commands. However, this can itself be a reason why the city prevails in a military environment. Perhaps one can say that the night causing the fuel crisis and the consequent general anger and the police response in order to restore order, to a certain extent just to served the police presence in the city and at public places legitimate to ultimately give legitimacy to the Ilegitimtät.
fearlessness against the Project of creating fear
We are ready and the project of terror confronts us. Shall we get scared and isolate us or like the others that it was too close to emigrate? Should we be alarmed us, are afraid of the interrogations, arrests, detentions, whether on probation, or without? Should we let scare prior to the flogging or before the long prison sentences? Or we must resist this Umzingelungspolitik resistance and set up our voice to the general public?
I look at the pictures of the arrested students, women and workers. I regard the peace and the steadfastness of these courageous people. Gets the suppression always the appropriate response? It looks as if the strategy of the political system to suppress the social and political activists do not like it used rises. Earlier, every blow against political activists drew large consequences. Some emigrated, some went into the prison, some were isolated, and remained at home. In reality it is one of the long-term objectives of government, the activists, social movements and social institutions to make homeless, so that they can not organize the long term. The biggest attack of its kind, the systematic attacks against the offices of the national-religious groups. The emergence of the student Basij groups and the restriction of the activities of Muslim societies, also the arrest of those responsible for student newspapers, the attack on the trade union offices, the sealing of civil society institutions and the closure of the Office of strengthening the unity of all part of the program of our expensive security. Such as earthquakes hit a these programs to wipe out a movement again.
can in fact each meeting, which will organize the movement, the security forces not sleep quietly. The movement could but give a thought that could be an effective power. Therefore, once the control machinery set in motion in the Believe that any attack is stopped by one of the movements.
It looks as if such a belief prevails in general and to some extent, on the activities of a group or movement sets short-term breastfeeding. But in these times, ask where civil society movements in their alliances with other movements to demonstrate, in a time when the movements are not to locate in a place they breathe each other a life and mind. Their general requirements mean that to protect their family members not only as an isolated holy family, but are an active family, so do not worry more when they no a permanent place to live. In our houses are held movements that no one can stop everything. Unlike what the strategists of oppression have imagined, is held against the permanent suppression a permanent resistance. For if the state repression is so direct and obvious reactions are caused, fears turn into courage. Therefore produces the permanent oppression not so much fear and terror. The resistance movement is willing to pay any price, and will be no peace. The motion will come up everywhere.
I stare at the photos of Bahare Hedayat, Abdullah Momeni, from Delaram Ali, Mansour Osanlou in Aliyeh Eqdamdust. How should I describe it? Student activists, feminists, trade unionists? Or we call them all? The Delaram that Bahar, Mariam Sia, Osanlous that Momeni, and much as I can describe it all? The social movements have a great power that give us faith, steadfastness and movement, a happy accident that causes the suppression of the strategists in terror, so that they strengthen the repression.
I stare at the photos. A creative rebellion, but peacefully, confidently and powerfully moving on and chase the fear is a fear. There is no terror, there is warmth, passion and love that the stimulated society Heat is. It depends on us that this does not stop beating heart to beat. "
