You saw a halo of light, but you couldn’t see all the rapes?” Among popular slogans on December 26
During protests on Saturday, the mourning day of Tasooa, all the slogans were against the government. Some of them are as followed:
- Death to Dictator
- Dictator should know that he will be overthrown soon
- This is the month of blood, Yazid will be overthrown (1)
- Obscurantism and crimes are two basis for Supreme Leadership
- We are not from Kofa to stop after receiving money (2)
- The Supreme Leader should know that Basij will not be effective
- Raping people in prison, did you find this in Koran, too?
- You saw a “halo of light,” but you didn’t see all the rapes (3)
Translator’s notes:
1) Yazid was the Khalifa that fought Imam Hossein during Moharram and defeated him
2) This goes back to the stories of the events of Hossein’s death in Karbala. People from the city of Kofa supposedly betrayed Imam Hossein and left him alone.
3) Mocking Ahmadinejad for his claims of a “halo of light” around him when he first gave a speech in UN general assembly

Complimentary Reports on Vast Protests in Tehran before Noon
Based on reports received by Human Rights and Democracy Activists in Iran, on Saturday December 26, 2009 (the mourning day of Tasooa), there was movement expected from Imam Hossein Square toward Azadi.
An 10:10am we moved toward Enqelab and at each crossroad there was a maximum of three policemen. When we reached Enqelab, about 200 police and counter-insurgency forces on motorcycles and for were there. All around Enqelab square, police cars and vans were seen. From Enqelab Square to Tehran University, every four meters there was a revolutionary guard with batons. The amount of protesters increased. Everyone moved toward Imam Hossein square from the pedestrian areas. Around Vali Asr crossroads, the sidewalks were filled. There were eight personnel carriers, arrest vans, and a minibus filled with forces.
We reached Hafez Avenue together with the people. Right under Hafez Bridge, there were three baton-wielding soldiers and two plainclothes forces approximately 57 and 60 years old. They were trying to change people’s direction and did not let them go toward Ferdowsi and Imam Hossein. We protested “This is our route” and the plainclothes agent started shouting and saying, “Don’t stand here.”
He started shouting immoral words and kicked my friends three times in the back. We protested, then he came after us. I looked at him angrily and he said: “What? Do you want me to tear out your eyes?” I attacked him with a kick a few times with all my force. It seemed that he had a mission just to attack women.
He confronted a young guy with a green band on his head. A young girl who was with the guy said: “What is wrong? He is a Seyed (descendant of prophet) and has a green band on his head.” The young girl was attacked. She fell to the ground, her scarf coming off. Older ladies saved the girl from beatings, and it was right at 11:30am when a dozen of motorcyclists rapidly moved toward Ferdowsi.
People were saying: “Ferdowsi is crowded, let’s go there!” We continued toward Ferdowsi and saw dozens of cars which were all followed with counter-insurgency forces. People booed them and those inside the buses started chanting slogans too.
In Ferdowsi, we saw familiar plainclothes faces that always stopped us during protest days. From Ferdowsi we started gathering and moved toward Valiasr. We reached around 600-700 and shouted “Allah is Great,” “Death to Dictator,” “Moharram is the month of blood, Khamenei will be overthrown.” We kept moving toward Qods avenue while showing victory signs with our hands. We were all shouting slogans. We kept on going and people supported us by honking their horns. We had just reached Qods where guard forces were attacking people with batons and chains. While beating with batons, they were saying: “We should keep beating you so you learn to behave.” Our guys started running while shouting, “Death to Dictator.” We formed a gathering again, shouting slogans.
Around 12:45pm we moved toward Enqelab Square. They closed down the roads and we were forced to move down Gendarmerie Street. In the same street, there is a police prevention centre full of personnel carries and guard forces. We reached Enqelab and everywhere was filled with guard forces on their motorcycles.
It was around 1:05 pm, in a Special Line bus station that two plainclothes men attacked a young buy. People booed them and shouted “leave him alone” and then a few of them went to help the guy and beat up the plainclothes agents.
Anybody with a mobile phone, even if they are just talking, was attacked. People, especially youth, were still in the streets and used every opportunity to shout slogans. Unlike every year where mourning groups follow one another, this year the government did not let any group to move, out of fear.
