Crisis in IRAN..an interview with an iranian graffiti artist

i met an artist named a1one under this statue in Habana Cuba in May of 2007..since then we've maintained contact, he's put me in touch with various free speech artists throughout tehran.. you can check his work at http://irangraffiti.blogspot.com.

The following is an update on whats been happening to the people of Iran over the past couple of days. This brief update is directly from the words of M. Ghadri, a Tehran resident and participant in the mass protests:

"The election was real abuse of our trust and vote/they lied. We were sure we all voted for the other person but they made another person to be president. they are real liars and obama congrats them!!!!!!

We are f*d up. They stopped my online access and reduced internet speed to 12 kb, also filtered facebook and youtube all these days as well as filtered satellite and imprisoned the other candidates in their home with soldiers there.

We are all going to streets and fight Lebanese & Iranian police and guards who throw tear-gas on us all time.
i can not send good videos but check youtube and find some videos. maybe they are some.

they are wilder than Hitler ...they even hit mothers and children :( just we tear. and shouted.
uneducated people are with police and say ahmadinejad is wit poors. but we are poor too. but we are more educated and want democracy. ahamdinejad is not with poors. he is with liars

he says that "liars are those who fear"

we ask, "if you are not a liar. then why do you fear and block youtube? how you block facebook?

how you block satellite? how you imprison other candidates? how you change the votes?"

Hope of change and peace.

truth will win"
