“The Accidental Activist”

Kamangir | May 13, 2007 | Category Iran

A good post by Esther, titled “the accidental activist“,

The [Iranian] law is invasive ‎and vague, which is why it is so easy to break. As one friend says, “The law is so ‎arbitrary that you can become an activist quite by accident.” The very ease of breaking ‎the law in Iran means that nearly all adults are guilty of something. Imagine that. ‎Granted, most people who will find themselves under scrutiny are public intellectuals, ‎labor leaders, minority rights leaders, fallen government employees, and self-proclaimed ‎activists, but the message is clear: life is insecure. ‎

Do read the whole piece.

    Very true, that’s life under representatives of god on earth.

    No surprise there. The law is not ‘accidental’. The law was written with malice and forethought compatible with the nature of the mullahs and the regime and it’s working quite effectively.

    In fact, the entire system even the electoral process where you can only elec *selected candidate* by un-elected clergies (and you wonder why even bother with this charade. The answer is to avoid criticism by the International community under the guise of “election process” as the late Shah had to deal with toward the end) The whole thing is nothing but a fraud on a grandest of scale.
