“Rural Vote” # 2

Der amerikanische Politologe Eric Hooglund schildert, wie in einem Dorf bei Schiraz gewählt gefälscht wurde.

“Interior Ministry officials came from Shiraz, sealed the ballot boxes, and took then away even before the end of voting at 9 pm,”

Die Reaktion der Landbevölkerung unterschied sich daher keineswegs von jener der Städter:

Larger demonstrations took place on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, beginning in the late afternoon and continuing long after the sun had set. These attracted carloads of supporters from Bagh-e Iman and other villages, including several that were 60 kilometers from Shiraz.
