4.) Vive la révolte des femmes d’Iran ! (Révolution en Iran):
„30 ans de régime islamique = 30 ans d’apartheid sexiste !“
„Vous les femmes signifiez la vie
L’esclavage est terminé
Construire un monde nouveau est possible
Notre lutte le réalisera
Il y a de la liberté dans notre voix
Il y a de la sagesse dans notre voix
Il est possible d’avoir la liberté pour les femmes
Et notre mouvement construit les fondations pour cela“
5.) Aus der unabhängigen Gewerkschaftsbewegung:
* Vahed trade union activists’ dismissal sentences quashed (IWSN)
„In a decisive majority decision taken on July 12 2009, the General Board of the Administrative Court of Justice quashed all the dismissal sentences of the [Vahed] trade union’s workers and sent the case files of these workers to the Arbitration Board of the Labour Office for review.
The Vahed Company workers’ trade union would like to congratulate all workers on this victory, and while thanking [them], sends its boundless greetings to all sacked workers who have had to endure irreparable harm during this time.
The Vahed Company workers’ trade union once again would like to thank all individuals and Iranian and international social and labour institutions who, with their moral support during these past years, have contributed to our journey on this road.“
* Iranian print workers speak out (Rise of The Iranian People)
„Our union, IUPWT, is centered on a number of large and mostly state- or semi-state-owned enterprises accounting for the bulk of the books and print media published in the capital. Because of the harsh police conditions imposed against labor organizing, our union activists and the workers who support us have to operate under the constant threat of arrest, imprisonment in solitary conditions, physical and mental abuse, and dismissal from work.
At the time of rising unemployment, the least of these measures, dismissal from work, could have devastating effect on our workers and their families. These are illegal acts that are even against the Iranian regime’s own constitution, not to mention all the international covenants to which the Iranian government is a signatory.
As you all well know, the courage of our people, especially its young, has transformed Iran into a new country. There is mass repression going on against our people, but the dictatorship has lost its aura of invincibility and its mystique of superior, otherworldly power. And for the first time in more than a generation, there is hope again in the country. You could see it in the faces of the old and the young. It is hope for a new beginning, hope for democracy, and hope for a life without tyranny.
Further, the success of the Green Wave movement in Iran could be an inspiration for millions of people in the other countries of the Muslim world. They could see that they could build grassroots democracy with their own hands and without any supposedly benevolent foreign hand aiding and abetting them. The Green Wave movement is democratic, it is nonviolent, and it is independent.“

* What is Velayate faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists)? (Revolutionary Road)
* Iran: Der Riss geht quer durch (Ali Schirasi):
„Während das Regime zahlreiche Funktionäre und Politiker der sogenannten Reformisten-Parteien und -Gruppen „Hezb-e Mosharekat“ (Partei der Mitbeteiligung), „Sazeman-e Mojahedin-e Enqelab-e Eslami“ (Organisation der Modschahedin der Islamischen Revolution), „Hezb-e E’temad-e Melli“ (Partei des Nationalen Vertrauens), „Hezb-e Korgozaran-e Sazandegi“ (Partei der Dienstleister des Wiederaufbaus), „Daftar-e Tahkim-e Wahdat“ (Büro zur Festigung der Einheit – Studentenbewegung) etc. inhaftiert haben, treten die in Freiheit verbliebenen Politiker wie Karubi mit immer radikaleren Forderungen auf. Sie bleiben damit zwar hinter dem zurück, was die Bevölkerung fordert, gehen damit aber über alles hinaus, was sie bislang öffentlich vertreten haben. Täten sie es nicht, würden sie ihre Glaubwürdigkeit unter der Bevölkerung ganz verlieren. Selbst der äußerst vorsichtige Ajatollah Rafsandschani forderte auf seiner letzten Freitagspredigt die Freilassung der politischen Gefangenen und rief dazu auf, die Familien der „Geschädigten“ zu besuchen und zu trösten – das tut die Bevölkerung ohnehin, und „geschädigt“ hört sich auch ein bisschen feiner an als „zu Tode gefoltert“.“
„Das iranische Regime ist nicht das ideale Regime für die US/EU-Imperialisten; es ist nationalistisch und außer Kontrolle. Es braucht Krisen, um zu überleben, und das reduziert die Stabilität in der Region. Die Imperialisten haben jedoch Nutzen aus Irans aktiver Unterstützung für die Invasionen in Afghanistan und im Irak gezogen. Bush und die Neocons wollten am gesamten Regime der IRI Rache für die Geiselnahme der US-Botschaftsangehörigen in Teheran im Jahr 1980 nehmen, aber Obama und die EU können mit reformistischen Islamisten leben und haben wie seinerzeit Khatami jetzt Moussavi als Präsidenten vorgezogen (ohne allerdings die Proteste organisiert zu haben). Es gibt Unterschiede zwischen der EU und den USA in dieser Hinsicht. Die USA würden eine Rückkehr zu einer mehr mainstreamigen bürgerlich-liberalen Regierung, vielleicht eine Koalition aus konstitutionellen Royalisten und Republikanern, die EU setzt eher auf Leute wie Moussavi.“
* Hope and anticipation (Weekly Worker/CPGB)
„Ahmadinejad had promised to revive the values of the Islamic revolution, which he accused the previous president, Khatami, of neglecting, and this had appealed to some religious people. But that changed in the recent election, when religious concerns were less prominent compared to other issues like the economy and social rights. Moreover, it was Moussavi who attracted part of the religious vote, because of his background as part of the reformist wing of the religious regime.
On the other hand, there are also those who take their lead from Khamenei, including the bassiji and fundamentalist sections of the military. They continued to support Ahmadinejad.
Capital itself is divided. There is a traditional market based on imported goods, and this section provides Ahmadinejad with his main spiritual and financial support (and, of course, these are the people who have gained the most from his policies). Another section consists of technocrats with more liberal views, and these people tended to support Moussavi.
What I’m trying to say is that none of the candidates enjoyed firm, consistent support from the majority of Iranians, who are always looking to the candidate who seems to be standing in opposition to the regime. Previously that was Ahmadinejad; this time it was Moussavi.
However, not everyone who voted for Moussavi believes he can do the job. And not everyone who was protesting on the streets was a Moussavi supporter. Those who are against Ahmadinejad are hardly fully behind Moussavi, Khatami and Rafsanjani.“
