I didn't remember the students' chants too well, I was only 15 at the time! But now that I read "anonymous" a lot of it is coming back ... <BR/><BR/>They made us weaker because the student movement seems to have disintegrated after those events ... And yet, I don't think I am too good a judge of history at this point to make any definite statements!<BR/><BR/>I guess <A HREF="http://www.sidewalklyrics.com/?p=543" REL="nofollow">this</A> is the best I can explain it ...Pedestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645015502498086056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-58705560248142126062008-07-12T23:00:00.000+04:302008-07-12T23:00:00.000+04:30These are what I could make out from the chantings...These are what I could make out from the chantings during the first half of the clip:<BR/><BR/>Video-maker (when they break into the gate): Ya Abalfazl! (= Holly Shit!)<BR/><BR/>Crowd: Mikosham, Mikosham, ankeh baradaram kosht! (= I will kill, I will kill, the one who killed my brother!)<BR/><BR/>Crowd: Aza Azast emrooz, Rooze azast emrooz! (= Today is a day of mourning!)<BR/><BR/>Crowd: Nezami, Sepahi, baradarat koshteh shod! (= You the military forces, your brother was killed! (Meaning also you killed your brother)<BR/><BR/>Crowd: Farmandeh Kolle ghowa, pasokhgoo! pasokhgoo! (The Chief Commander of Forces (i.e. The Supreme Leader), Answer! Answer!) <BR/><BR/>Crowd: (?) jenayat mikonad, rahbar hemayat mikonad! (?) murders, the Supreme Leader supports that!<BR/><BR/>Nirooye entezami, Nangat baad! Nanngat baad!

It was a brutal day and will go down in history as such.<BR/><BR/>But I'm sorry to say that it was not an experience that made us stronger - but weaker. <BR/><BR/>If you ever go to any of these demonstrations you'll see dozens of men holding mobile phones and "talking" for hours. They are filming everybody in site. Guessing from the close-ups, that might be the origin of this video.Pedestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645015502498086056noreply@blogger.com
