THE IRAN EDITION: ISSUE 76, VOLUME 106
A LETTER FROM IRAN
by Anahita
I received an email from a close friend who knows that I am a blogger. She forwarded me an email from a friend, George, who's a photographer and spent a great deal of time in Pakistan and Iran. George received a letter from Anahita, a student he met while in Iran. Anahita was recently accepted into Cornell's Architecture graduate program, but waits in limbo for a visa from her government. Like all bloggers who are sustaining Iran's uprising by spreading their voices loud and proud through citizen journalism, I am honored to be passing on another voice in the chorus for change.
Dear George
You can not even imagine what is happening in my country. We will continue our defiance against this fraud election and dictatorship. we are all confederate to prove our vote. They attack the dorms every night, they wound the students who wants their right to choose their president based on peace. Last night two of my friends were killed. Our university burned in fire and they attacked us and our professors. They have disconnected our SMS and mobile and ADSL internet, we have just low speed dial up connection to the internet, most of the websites are filtered, so it is so difficult to share the news to the world and even to other cities in my country. Please, transmit our voice to the world, share all the photos and videos of the people who wants peace and democracy. I want you my friend to do this for the people of Iran.
