Neda’s rebirth

Just after a month of Neda’s death, Iranians came to the streets again. And again, the Basijis and the detentions were there too.

It’s not gonna be the biggest demonstration in the next few days. Probably, in a week and a half (when it will be the end of the duel period), in two Fridays, it will be bigger. But this, at least, shows Khamenei that his words are everyday less and less important to the people and Ahmadinejad that his reign won’t be easy.

Up until now, protesters had developed an underground boycott. Like the blackout of last night between 20.55 and 21.00 (local time) to remember Neda. Or the (unsuccessful) attempt to make a public blackout by connecting at the same time all the high consuming electronic items.

It has also continued -even though the house arrests and the house intimidations- with the night shouting from the roofs. Only that the initial “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) has become “Death to the dictator” and "Freedom".

But Ahmadinejad and Khamenei live so far away from their people that they don’t hear their scream. And that could be their end, specially for the latter.
