Statement by a group of Iranian bloggers about the Presidential election and the subsequent events

1) We, a group of Iranian bloggers, strongly condemn the violent and repressive confrontation of Iranian government against Iranian people’s legitimate and peaceful demonstrations and ask government officials to comply with Article 27 of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Constitution which emphasizes “Public gatherings and marches may be freely held, provided arms are not carried and that they are not detrimental to the fundamental principles of Islam.”

2) We consider the violations in the presidential election, and their sad consequences a big blow to the democratic principles of the Islamic Republic regime, and observing the mounting evidence of fraud presented by the candidates and others, we believe that election fraud is obvious and we ask for a new election.

3) Actions such as deporting foreign reporters, arresting local journalists, censorship of the news and misrepresenting the facts, cutting off the SMS network and filtering of the internet cannot silence the voices of Iranian people as no darkness and suffocation can go on forever. We invite the Iranian government to honest and friendly interaction with its people and we hope to witness the narrowing of the huge gap between people and the government.

Make Ahmadinejad history

Another election is under way………… Ahmadinejad …………… No God Please No

The funny thing about us, Iranians, is that those who are for hardliners and do not absolutely believe in Democrocy would definitely vote, no matter who stands for the election, as far as he is against the democrocy, he s got their votes; those who are against the heardliners’s measures, and claim that they are the biggest advocate of democrocy in Iran do not alwasy vote. They want to reach a democrocy by not voting. What a paradoxical people we are. And this election is not any different. The hardliners’ will be up for it through and through. The others, are mainly ambivalent.

Why should I vote when I don’t support theocracy, ( and don’t tell me voting is supporting democracy, as long as it ends in “cracy” i m not voting, I love dimokrosy)

Why should I vote when nothing is gonna change? ( and by “Change” we mean something like an 8 Richter earthquake. Then we will be rebuilding everything, this time an identical twin of Switzerland ( I know it is not a town, it is just an example) )

Why should I vote when there is ………… , I can’t recall now but I am sure something is .

but God, I know that I am not much of a believer, but this time just help us out, no please help yourself, everyone is blaming you for his creation.

WE DO NOT WANT AHMADINEJAD AS OUR PRESIDENT………… we had enough
