Iran General Strike called for Tuesday 23 June 2009. Spread the word

Hope this is the right place for this question.

I wonder about the following: if my English translation of the Article/Paragraph 27 of The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran is correct, it cites:

- "[u]Organizing of meetings and demonstrations without carrying weapons is free, provided these do not injure the Islamic principles[u]".

In the speech of the Supreme Leader Khamenei, during the last-Friday’s prayer, he declared protests for "illegal", yet did not cite any kind of injury to the Islamic principles they might represent.

Furthermore, reading the Constitution, there stands nothing about his right to declare protests for "illegal".

So, what is the legal basis for his handling?

And, if there is none, then how can any kind of authority in Iran (particularly the police, not to talk about the IRGC/Basij), exercise violence against peaceful protesters?

Remember Neda!

I know there are a lot of horrible atrocities going on in Iran, and the people responsible for them should be held accountable. But, could it be that the CIA took advantage of the tense atmosphere surrounding the Iranian elections to create this "Green Revolution" in order to destabilize the country? Again, not saying Ahmaninejad was a good guy or anything.

Read this article on it, and check the links, tell me what you think:
KOPYME - Color Revolution in Iran?

Let’s keep an open mind and discuss this intelligently.

The people can protest all they want but in the end they will need a leader to back them up.

Someone who is powerful and intelligent. Someone who cares for the people.

if it’s not tear gas I really wonder what it was

Please post your planned demonstrations and/or petitions on the following facebook group!

WE ARE THE WORLD AND WE DEMAND FREEDOM FOR ALL! | Facebook

We are trying to motivate people to join protest by showing people care and freedom is not worth a thing if you don’t use it!

Reports and results on past protests concerning IRAN are also welcome! The idea is that if more people are aware of protests and the result, that more people will make use of it!

To get updates on this project please join our group
If you have any ideas on how to promote this project, please post it!!

Thank!

Solidarity tactics to break basiji blockades of embassies taking in wounded - black bloc how-to: Black Bloc Tactics Communique

Keep wounded people on the inside of the bloc with enough people on the outsides to protect them. Link arms on the outside to present a more formidable barrier to basiji penetration.

To smash through a blockade the bloc shape may be modified to a "V" or "flying wedge". This tactic should only be used for important aims, such as getting people in need of medical or other assistance to a place where they can receive help (i.e. the embassies that are taking in wounded) or "unarresting" people who are being detained or taken into custody on the streets. This is a tactical move, not strategic, and use of the technique should be considered within longer-term strategic objectives.

With the collapse of Ja’far Al Sadiq’s empire and Ibn Hanbal’s slow demise in Saudi Arabia, the tide is turning and the fictitous sects that emerged during the Abbasid Empire knows as the Sunni and Shia sectsa nd others who follow man made revelations known as hadiths are slowly collapsing. The Koranist will take over. The Koranist believe only the Koran should speak for Islam.

WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISLAM AND TODAY’S PRACTICES?

In comparing the teachings of Islam as derived from the Book of God to the practices taught and enforced by the popular Sunni and Shia faiths (1.2 Bn followers), we find that the list is quite extensive, with some of the highlights as follows:

In Islam, the requirement to be a Muslim is to simply accept and live according to the ‘Straight Path’ (6:151-153), Vs. the Sunni or Shia 5-pillars which come from unauthorized books…

In Islam, abolishing Slavery is taught to be an act of righteousness (90:12-13), Vs. Sunni and Shia teachings…
