June
3rd or 13th day of Khordad month (on the Iranian calendar) is the 24th
anniversary of Khomeini's death. Khomeini the founder of the Islamic regime in Iran , began his political
activities by apposing the Iranian women's right in 1962. He was exiled to
Najaf and than Paris where he was busy with his
religious studies. in 1977 when the political leaders from different groups
were either killed or in prison, Khomeini seized the opportunity and with foreign
help he grabbed power in Iran . When asked in the airplane
returning to Iran , how he felt, he said:
Nothing.
Khomeini's
record is very dark. The execution order of 30,000 political prisoners in the
summer of 1988 which the majority were from People's Mujahedin organization of
Iran PMOI, or MEK. From this organization alone the regime has executed some
120,000 political prisoners. The 8 year war with Iraq has
been the most devastating economic impacts on Iranian people which is felt to
this day. Khomeini send millions to their death and was the reason of loosing
millions of dollars and leaving the people in poverty. Khomeini's slogans such
as Economics is for Donkeys and free water and electricity spread poverty so
that 80% of the population was affected. The fight for freedom and establishing
democracy in Iran is
alive and active. Hope for a free and
democrat Iran very
soon.
