			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>12th of June will mark the first anniversary of the rigged Iranian election. Some activists in Iran have made a beautiful English song entitles Going Green. I haven&#8217;t had a good chance to update here regularly but I have to share this with you and will try to keep here updated with the news during this time:<br />
Listen and read the beautiful lyrics, If you want you can also watch the video here in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i81ZnoGZh9k">YouTube</a> (attention the video contains grafic images)</p>
<p>Through all those fears and dreads, that let me down<br />
Is there still a road for me to stay on&#8230;to go on&#8230;</p>
<p>I thought I would be lone tonight, But I&#8217;m not<br />
Voices out there calling me &#8220;Here&#8217;s the fight&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Things have changed, hope&#8217;s growing in veins<br />
Hands in hands will stand to the end&#8230;</p>
<p>The time has come to break the chains<br />
Send love and peace to the world again<br />
Getting our pride back, once we lost<br />
We&#8217;re gonna win, We&#8217;re going green</p>
<p>Maybe they could choke a cry, burn, deny&#8230;<br />
But the choir rises up, roaring &#8220;Not giving up&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Things have changed, hope&#8217;s growing in veins<br />
Hands in hands will stand to the end&#8230;</p>
<p>The time has come to break the chains<br />
Send love and peace to the world again<br />
Getting our pride back, once we lost<br />
We&#8217;re gonna win, We&#8217;re going green</p>
<p>We&#8217;re going green&#8230; We&#8217;re going green&#8230;We&#8217;ll be free again&#8230; We&#8217;re going green</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://iranfacts.blogspot.com/2009/08/torture-in-islamic-republic-of-iran.html">Like Naj</a>, I&#8217;m also tired of hearing the news of torture, rape and &#8220;trials&#8221; of my people. Music sometimes is the only way to calm down. Listen and read the English version of Come on (Bia) by Abjeez, to watch and listen to the Persian version <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdyXklHL6PE">click here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://freelantern.com/audio/Biyaa-Come%20on.mp3">(Free Download- click here)</a></p>
<p>Come and join us once and for all, let’s be honest, let’s be true<br />
Join the force of love and see, what’s in there waiting for you!</p>
<p>Even in the wrestling rings our men tend to tolerate<br />
Barefooted, with a waist-cloth, wrestling men of the same weight</p>
<p>You walk with your kneeguards; carrying chains and clubs, wearing a mask<br />
Well done brother, what a champ! Is that what you call bravery I ask?</p>
<p>It’s easy to strike and brake, kill and burn, destroy and chase<br />
I guess God can’t recognize, a properly hidden face!</p>
<p>Go on hit and kill, let’s see how long it takes,<br />
Before your betrayed heart, melts down and brakes!</p>
<p>Let’s see when your hands will feel ashamed of your own zeal<br />
Let’s see when your betrayed soul will wake up and start to heal</p>
<p>Don’t worry, you too are the &#8220;dust and mote&#8221; of this land<br />
Unmask your face, see the light, see the truth and take my hand</p>
<p>Feel the compassion, unity calls at this hour<br />
The power of love is higher than the love of power!</p>
<p>Come and join us once and for all, let’s be honest, let’s be true<br />
Join the force of love and see what greatness is waiting for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just read (in Persian) a beautiful description of what happened yesterday in Tehran&#8217;s cemetery to the people that were planning to go to Neda&#8217;s grave. The description is so poetic and beautiful that I decided to translate it to English to share with you. <a href="http://myrainyday.blogspot.com/2009/07/blog-post_31.html">(read the original text in Persian here)</a></p>
<div style="float: right; margin: 5px; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid black;">
<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/iran-green-movement.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/iran-green-movement-300x194.jpg" alt="iran-green-movement" title="iran-green-movement" width="300" height="194" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-520" /></a></div>
<blockquote><p>It is hot. I am tired. It has been two nights that I haven’t had proper sleep. I just came directly from my village next to Isfahan to Beheshte Zahra. I’m still wearing green scarf and haven’t had a proper meal since morning.<br />
Sun is shinning on our head and we are chanting slogans, but we are late…<br />
The riot police have surrounded section 257 [where Neda’s grave is]. Riot police is standing in front of us. We are a lot, we are chanting slogans and going forward and the Police are retreating. We have the good feeling of Victory.</p>
<p>I tell my friend:<br />
Who are all these people? How is it that they’re not getting tired? How is it they have so much energy?<br />
A lady next to me was shouting: “Government of Coup, Resign, Resign”<br />
I am feeling so tired, tell my friend: “I’m not planning to get martyred today, shall we go home?”<br />
She asks me: “are you afraid?”<br />
I reply: Maybe, since the day that I saw the police hitting that young man on the head with baton and seeing the blood from his head, I got afraid. These days when I get home midnight, until I hear that all my friends have also got home safe I feel my heart in my mouth.</p>
<p>What time was it, Yeah it was around 6. Suddenly they started attacking us. I was still wondering if I’m afraid or not. They started hitting us with their batons. My friend and I are now separated.<br />
I’m standing, suddenly I’m feeling calm. I don’t feel like running away. The black dressed riot police come towards me, moving their batons and swearing.<br />
I’m still standing. A riot police stands in front of me and shouts: “Piss off”, but I’m still standing. It is the 254th section.<br />
I’m all alone. They fired tear gas in the next section. Smoke and dust makes it difficult to see. I look around me. Look into the eyes of the riot police that is staring at me behind his mask. Hatred is in my eyes. I’m not afraid. I don’t “piss off”.<br />
I’m standing here. In 254th section of Beheshte Zahra. The police spray pepper in my eyes. Someone shoots tear gas towards us.<br />
I’m still standing, I’m still standing. My face is burning. Someone grabs my hand and pull me.<br />
<strong>BUT I’m NOT AFRAID ANYMORE….</strong>
</p></blockquote>
