This video does not show everything. Basically, what is happening is that the
student, wearing a white jacket and red clothes, is climbing the fence and
throwing away the government supporter’s flag (the flag of the current regime).
You don’t see any flags in this version of the video.

Iran 2009 Election Post
Khamenei Speech-
from toocan

Perhaps the most disturbing news story comes from Sirjan, where protestors
actually prevented the execution of two men.

City of Sirjan Revolts- from thenewestdeal.org

http://www.thenewestdeal.org/2009/12/city-of-sirjan-revolts.html

The city of Sirjan witnessed a small
revolt yesterday when thousands
of protesters halted the execution of two convicted criminals.

Esmayil Fathalizade and Mohammad Esfandiarpoor were scheduled to be publicly
hanged for possession of illegal firearms and robbery before relatives of the
two disrupted the execution.

In an effort to save face, Iran has offered some token red meat to the
protestors by charging two police officers with murder.

Police officers involved in fatal violence at Tehran’s infamous Kahrizak
facility have been charged with murder, Iran’s armed forces say.

A
statement from the Judicial Organization for the Armed Forces on Saturday
announced that according to forensic information three
of the 168 people detained during the country’s post-election violence, six
months ago, were killed while being held at the Tehran facility.

Finally, here is the fundamental reason why this regime has absolutely
lost complete control of the people, violations of sacred taboos within the
Muslim faith itself.  Coming from a regime that came to power with a
promise of Muslim utopianism, this is a particularly damning violation.

Broken Taboos in Post-Election Iran- from Tabsir

http://tabsir.net/?p=1029

The on-camera martyrdom of Neda Agha-Soltan, the 26-year old
philosophy student shot dead during the protests after the fraudulent
presidential election in Iran in June, caught the imagination of the world. But
the post-election crackdown has two other victims whose fates better capture the
radical shift in the country’s political culture. One victim was the protester
Taraneh Mousavi, detained, reportedly raped and murdered in prison, and her body
burned and discarded. The other is Majid Tavakoli, the student leader arrested
on December 8, after a fiery speech denouncing dictatorship during the
demonstrations on National Student Day…..

….In Iran, as in many neighboring countries, sexual honor is a core value, so
deeply ingrained in the dominant culture that it is rarely questioned or even
discussed except when it is attacked or infringed. Girls are brought up to
understand that their honor resides in their bodies; boys are raised with one of
their prime duties being to protect the honor of their sisters. These practices
mean that a woman’s sexual morality is always the concern of some man: her
father, brothers, husband, sons.

As the mad mullahs rush to create the chaos that will usher in the last imam,
their hold on their own lands becomes increasingly tenuous,  The actions of
this regime, the use of Palestinian murderers (the Basiji) to target fellow
muslims has casued a quiet shift in the so-called Arab street away from
supporting the Palestinian cause at all.  The actions of this regime have
caused its own undoing, and the discrediting of the Palestinian cause as well
amongst Muslims who increasingly view Hamas and Hezbollah, the sources of the
murderers, as being enemies of Islam.
