Today we found out that one of my cousins in Tehran has been missing since Saturday. We think he has been arrested, but, as we heard from more ppl lately, the police and RGC deny knowing anything.... Saturday Omid left to go to university, in Qazvin.
He didnt arrive there.
His friends don't know where he is.
HIs mother and my mother in law and all the family have been looking for him, but so far no result. Both he and his car seem to have vanished.
We've looked @ policestations, hospitals, Evin, court etc etc, but no sign.
Needless to say we are very very worried.
As I said, he left for school, but never arrived, nor did he return. Which is very unlike Omid. When he is running late, he calls, so it is utterly stupid to say (as they did) that he probably took off and he'll be back when he feels like it.
I can't think of all the things that might be happening to him as I sit here writing this blog. The same images keep flashing in front of me over and over again....
Omid being tortured, maybe even being raped, Omid's dead body somewhere in the middle of nowhere... I know I should be positive, but that is difficult, knowing the thugs that control the state, the prisons, even the trains and postal offices and telephonelines etc.....
Today it has been a very busy day in Iran and again I wished I could have been there. One promise I do make, if anything happens to Omid, I will go to Iran and I will have my revenge, however small it may be.
It is just amazing to me, how these thugs have succeeded in installing so much fear in the people, that even when ppl want to fight, they usually don;t dare. Offcourse, this has everything to do, with the fact that the green movement is peacefull, but the opponents, the regime, is NOT peacefull. On the contrary, they don't have a problem hitting women, children and elderly with batons or clubs, or shoot at umarmed protestors. They are very namardy.
Not manly. They are loosers and they will have their time as well, just as we have our time now. Eventhough at the moment they may be in charge, I am 100% sure, that this will change. It might take months, or even years, but when the time is right, they will have to pay for their actions. They have taken and are taking the best of our country AGAIN. Just as they did 30 years ago.
It seems to me, that every now and then, they " organize" opposition, just to be able to identify and arrest and/or kill m all, before they become older and wiser. When will we be wise enough to not step in their traps......
How much longer do we have take this.
It seems that the people are not taking it anymore, but it also seems that the regime doesn't mind arresting and or killing an entire generation. (Except for the basiji pigs offcourse, but they are no human beings.)
My hope is that my cousin and all other political prisoners might be free soon and the thugs that call themselves the regime will take their place in EVIN and Behesht'e Zahra.......

Too bad
Today, there was a very important meeting @ the university of Delft. There have been speakers from all over the world, including Iran and the subject was " human rights in Iran" and offcourse the fallout of the elections.
For weeks we' ve been planning on going there, to meet kindred souls and maybe even find ppl to organise a demonstration in our hometown as well. Offcourse, when we wanted to leave, our car broke down. I was very very very disappointed, even more because we don't know anyone else who was going. I have tried to get someone to take us, by using twitter and twubs, but no reactions. Now all I can hope for is pictures and stories.
Allready for years I had been following the situation in Iran, but, as most of us, my interest was hightened after the (re) election of Ahmadi Nejad. Unbelievable how they did this.
In a country with over 40 million ppl who cast their vote, they were able to say that AN won after just two hours of closing the voting areas. (Here ibn Holland, with a total population of 16 million, it takes at least a day. So you might wonder how trustworthy their count was. Soon enough we realised, that wouldnt have had to count at all, because (as we knew, but didnt want to believe before) AN HAD to be winner, they allready printed the headlines in the papers.
For my brothers and sisters in Iran, this must have been a black day.
As we know, after the elections widespread demonstrations took place. And they were shattered.
Ever since the elections, I have been thinking about a way to help the ppl there. But HOW?
What can I do, at 5000 km distance? Only show my solidarity. So I did and I will continue doing so untill things have changed in Iran.
This is my first blog, and I havent said much of importance, but I will be back and try again and again and again, as long as it takes. And believe me, every blog I write, will be a little more toxic to the regime.
In the meantime, anyone who wants my help for anything, just send me an email. I can translate things (With help of my husband) or do whatever I am needed to.
Next year I will be in Iran again (insha' allah) and I hope to be able to attend a demonstration or do something else to help the ppl of Iran that are giving their lives and their freedom in a struggle for a free, democratic Iran.
Ey Iran, Azade Iran
