Lady Sun

i dont know why but befor when u wrote blog in persian i feel more close to u..to your feeling to your happyiness and sadness...but here...plz come back lady lady sun..these words and these vocabs and these shapes of words its not blong to u..
love u

I'm wondering if you could expect anything else?!

Dear Lady Sun,
My heart aches too! I salute the courage of these demonstrators! Also, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to Arash for his excellent photographs of the demonstration! Please let us know how we can help to make sure all the arrested women are released from jail.

I just sent a link to your post and a brief description of what happened at the demonstration to the CNN News Tips department. I really hope that they pick up this story! The Iranian government needs to be internationally embarrassed regarding their brutal treatment of the demonstrators!

Sorry, I meant to include the link to the CNN contact page. Here it is:

So what?
Unauthorised demonstrations will be suppressed in ANY country. Just try organising an illegal demonstration in the US, asking for revision of Holocaust and see what happens to you. Your biased comments would only help the Westerners to portray a negative image of our home conuntry. I've been working/studying/living abroad for the past 6 years and strongly believe that we need to stop you simple-minded "Ghazanfar"s scoring own-goals rather than controlling Neo-con "Maradona"s.

L.S. How exactly did you come to the conclusion that the demonstration was illegal? Have you read the constitution?

I emailed CNN too and I asked that they cover the story! We should all email CNN, Washington Post and all the other newspapers and asked that they report these stories!

More demonstration in the biggest cities of Iran, more chance for introduction of a real democracy in Iran. Its very sad the situation in Iran because the country is very beatyful, but sometimes the country its very littel entertaiment because its so much thing it is forbidden, not just alcohol. Last month I was in Esfahan with my iranian wife, and in Si-o-se pol its a chai-khane, but the outdoorsection it is forbidden for women. A stupid rule.

it's painful to see all these pic, it's painful to see what is happening to you, great people of iran, becaus of those leaders who cares not for thier people, revolt, take back your freedom, no one can stop you, from lebanon i salut you all

حالم بد میشه. حس میکنم تنهام. وقتی این تجمعات شکل میگیره احساس تنهایی خفه ام میکنه. حس میکنم ما شدیم یه جمعی که فریاد میزنه ما هم دلمون میخواد تو سرزمینمون همونجوری زندگی کنیم که میخوایم. حالم بد میشه

I am spreading the news here in Seattle, Washington. Let us know how we can help-- and you women, rock on!

L.S. Thanks for your comment. But your statistics are wrong! Only 7 millon and a half people, men and women, have access to the internet in Iran.

As a women of color, I stand in solidarity with you and your fierce sisters...please, let me know if there is anyway we can support you!

Thanks a lot for your link. You brought some readers to my blog this way and I really appreciate.

Hi Sanam,
I just discovered the e-addresses you gave me at the beginning of spring semester--the Women In Iran site is beautiful! Very sorry to hear/read about the demonstration; I have been thinking for some time that we should try to do some work about fundamentalism in the US and Iran, expose some of the similarities. Sorry you are struggling with statistics, too--I have to take it next spring myself!

Sincerely, Matthew Kopka

You are fighting for basic human rights!!I come from the Uk where we take these things for granted. Stay strong sisters I ADMIRE YOU

Lady Sun i salute you! And your extremely brave friends, also, the pictures of the demonstration are amazing!

It is stupid. Serrogation. And you know? The last time THAT was practised was shortly after the emanciation proclamation of black slaves. 50 years ago. Shows the mullah's primitivness.

Protests like this are what enlighten the world (or at least attempt to very well) of our struggle against fuckwits like these.

I hope those women are released soon. I'd like them to be released because of pressure from the public...

Also, are you SURE it was illegal? And farsi is the fourth most common language used in internet blogs

*smiles proudly*

ciao, x

Dear LS ... I enjoyed reading your article (don't get me wrong I enjoyed your English)... but seeing these pictures again made me deeply sad again ... believe it or not I had many bad experiences of this kind of ignorant violence myself from our obsessive brothers in Basij and other helpful organizations ... basically these type of actions and behaviors makes me sick and wonder about the future. At the end I wanna point out that I'm not a feminist nor a sexist.

I am sorry LS and i respect your sentiment.
Feminist simply means BELIEVING IN EQUALITY OF THE SEXS'.
Please do not be swayed by propaganda. FEMINISTS are NOT what the press portray. This is only another tool by the patriachy to oppress women. Stay strong sisters

Incredible story. my heart goes out to these courageous women and I'm afraid to think about all the ones that are silenced before we hear their voice.
