My letters to the Iranian people, with responses below

My First Letter, June 17:
Open letter to the people of Iran
Dear friends,

Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to visit your beautiful country. Before I left, many friends asked me, "Why are you doing to Iran? Isn't it dangerous??" But I found it to be a land of incredible history, culture and people. I marveled at the ancient grandeur of Persepolis, I felt peace standing in parks and gardens in Esfahan, and I was moved standing beside the tombs of Saadi and Hafez. Most of all, I was moved by the warmth and kindness of the Persian people.

I left Tehran on June 8, at 2 am, to return to Canada. I had witnessed the hope and peaceful protests of young Iranians, and had even worn green during my trip to show support for Mir-Hussein Mousavi, the reformist presidential candidate. I met many young Iranians hopeful for a more free and prosperous future under a new president. And to be fair, I even met some supports of President Ahmadinejad, who were also kind to me and with whom I shared tea in a park in Esfahan, beside the dry river.

I never expected that the election would be so obviously rigged. There were too many discrepancies to allow any reasonable minded person to believe the validity of the outcome.

What has transpired in Iran over the last couple of days has deeply disturbed and greatly troubled me. Communication sources have been cut off, peaceful protestors have been attacked, and some people have even been killed!

If you are able to see it, this link shows some images from Iran over the last few days”

This video shows a young girl being shot in Tehran by the pro-government militia:

I send you this note from Canada, a country where I can sit at home and relax and send messages without fear of reprisal from police or government forces. This is something I feel grateful for. Today, you have a choice. You can cower in fear, and avoid risk, and allow your country to slip back strongly into the hands of hard-line individuals who have no respect for freedom or for life. Or, you can take significant risk, to stand up against this evil through your peaceful protests.

I don't mean to meddle in Iranian affairs - as you know all to well, foreigners have done this before, with disastrous consequences. However, I want you to think about the girl in the video I posted above, shot dead by pro-government forces, simply because she had the courage to wear a green ribbon and chose to stand for freedom in a crowded square in Tehran. What if she was your daughter? Your sister? Your mother? How can this be allowed to happen with impunity?

My friends, I wish I Was still in Iran standing beside you and risking everything for freedom. I wish there was more I could do to stand with you and support you. I have decided to try to email every Iranian on CouchSurfing with this message, because I feel it’s the least I can do. I want to show my support and appreciation for you as you stand up for what is right. If you think this message will cause you any trouble with the authorities, please just delete it. I haven't talked to you before and simply want to show my support from outside of Iran.

I want you to know this: When you stand up for your country, and support the universal values of freedom of speech and peaceful protest, know that you will never walk alone. From around the world, we love you and support you.

Sincerely,

Jair, in Canada.

"Today we are all Iranians"

My follow up letter, June 18:

Dear friends,

I have received many responses to the letter I sent to Iranian Couch Surfing friends. The majority have been very appreciative, thanking me for my support and concern, and indicating their unbreakable desire to fight for freedom and change. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the friendly and appreciative responses I have received from you.

To be fair, some of you were critical of me and my message. Anywhere I have published these responses (without names) I have included yours as well. Now, I would like to talk to you directly. I call you friends in good faith.

First of all, I very much appreciate your honesty. In a truly free society, there are many diverse opinions. People often disagree with each other. The fact that I have seen this from people in Iran makes me believe even more than Iran is a great society made of people with vastly varying viewpoints.

I also want to say that I have nothing against those who sincerely support your current president, Mr. Ahmadinejad. People should be free to vote for who they chose, without any negative consequences. Mr. Mousavi is not perfect, nor are his supporters. Further, when I was in Iran, I met people who told me that they supported Mr. Ahmadinejad because of what he had done for the poor in rural villages.

My main concern is who really won the election. Mr. Ahmadinejad has millions of supporters. But ask yourselves honestly, does he really have more supporters than Mr. Mousavi? I hope you will consider this question sincerely. In my country, Canada, I have been very disappointed with election results over the last 15 years. But I never doubted that the majority of people disagreed with me and voted for the candidate that I didn't agree with. I simply had to accept the outcome, knowing that it was fair.
I would like to address a specific issue that some of you raised. You stated that commenting on Iran and Iranian politics is not my business, and that I should mind my own business. Again, I appreciate your honesty. I would, however, like to remind you of the words of the great Persian poet Saadi, who said: "The children of Adam are limbs to each other, having been created of one essence." You may interpret his words differently than me. But to me, Saadi was not just saying that all people are equal, but that all people are brothers and sisters. Regardless of what country we happened to be born in, we are all children of Adam, created by the same God, moved by the same forces. When one of us suffers or dies, we all do. When one of us yearns for freedom, we all do. I speak about Iran because I am citizen of the world, not because I am a citizen of Canada or Iran, or any other country. I believe that Saadi would agree with me.

Finally, you have told me that I should not talk about Iran or get involved in its current political issues. I respect your viewpoint, as I have mentioned. I want to ask you one question. Will you also demand that the Arabic speaking Hezbollah/Hamas militia men, who are beating Persian women and children in the streets of Tehran, also do the same? Their is overwhelming evidence from people in Tehran that Arabic speaking men on motorbikes are ruthlessly beating people in the streets, in order to prevent opposition supporters from making any progress. When I was in Tehran 2 weeks ago, I personally saw many Arab men at the shrine of Ayatollah Khomeini and at my hotel. You have asked me, a peaceful young Canadian, to keep silent and not get involved in anything to do with Iran. I ask you sincerely, will you also demand that these Arabs from Lebanon and Palestine do the same?

Love and respect,

Jair.




Here are the responses I received to my above letters. Most are positive, and some are negative. For the sake of fairness, I have included all of them. I think that these vastly differing responses are a sign that Iran is made of people with many diverse viewpoints, which is in itself a hallmark of a free society. It is a good thing, not a bad thing. One intersting note, however. All of the negative responses came from men. I didn't receive even one negative response from a woman. The positive responses came from both men and women. It seems to me that young Iranian women are truly at the vanguard of change, showing extroadinary bravery and courage, and yearning for greater personal freedom.

Hi JairWell you heard about the seven that got killedyesterday.(The defence was that they werehooligans)Yeah right!So how will the families of the dead deal with theBasijis tonight.Tomorrows media will show.By the way Youtube is banned so i wasnt able to watchthat wideo and Facebook is banned too and so a lot ofother sites and the speed of my internet is really sloweven though we have an asdl and its not the providersfault but the governments telecom that is slowing it.(can hardly check my yahoo e-mail).And where has the president gone today....Russia(Buysome Russian anti-riot gear probably:)RegardsP.sIf those idiots had half a mind in their heads theywould use rubber bullets instead of live rounds(sayingone thing is something but come on they could havefired rubber bullets and that just shows how much theycare about human lives).Well hopefully things will change for a country wherepeople can do whatever they want and not get arrestedfor defending their rights.(freedom of speech).

I must say this is notyour problem, during 2500 yrs we had a Kingdom gov. andwe adapted to some behaviour and it's cost so manyyears to change many things.So, I say "You aren't all Iranian "*******************************************************

*******************************************************


Dear jairyou should know that if Musavi was elected as thepresident , such accidents was done also with a younggirl with a 3 color iranian flag strip.as you say you are sitting on your chair calmly andwith out any stress and you say your idea but you dontknow the real fact.when 85 percent of iranian take apart in the election ,what it means?and it make some countries very angry who dont like myland , why you think that it is done by ahmadinejadfans .think greater and look for the roots.I just want to say to obama ; let our country forourselves and dont kill my sisters and mothers in mycountry and my sisters in iraq , afganistan andpakistan.dear jair , just wash your eyes and look again withmore open eyes.
*******************************************************


JUST THANK YOUUUUUU!WITH TEARS!
*******************************************************


Hi Jairthanks alot for your nice feelingI am a protester student looking for freedomI saw the movie and I saw anothers maybe you and theothers out of Iran dont see ..please give me your email..I will declare you about each news and happenings andmaybe you can help us and show it to the world toprotect us...hope to freedome in every part of worl,
*******************************************************


hi dear jairyou are a really good criticize ,really , and have acomplete perception about Iranian political problem butyou have to know some point about Iran. Iran is looklike a democratic country but it isn't and people don'tlike to have trouble with the government or policebecause all of them are poor or have a low salary andthey like to keep their job or their opportunity and soon .if some one don't say anythings or someone areagree with this condition related to fear .fear ofmoney food condition and so on .we had a war before and people was in touch with theproblems of the war . we had a revolution before andjust people had to cope with problems .all of iranianpeople are disagree with this kind of condition .government like to continue like every government atthe world at any cost but people want to change thecondition of country not the government because we havea bad economical condition or political or sociological.people like to improve their country but not at anycost .people hate of Mr ahmadinejad but he very expert tospeak and persuade people to get vote to him because hehas a TV and other government resource .anyway i think that he cant get 24 million vote and itsa cheating because i see all of people in rural areaand urban area that like mousavi and they block somesites or sms and so oni think its better to speak to each other because ihave some idea that cant write it .do you have skype ?we could speak about it if you have free time and ifyou like .warm regards
*******************************************************


Dear Jair,maybe i am wrong and sorry for that,i hate ayatollahkhamenei ,i do not want talk about political because ido not know about it ,in Iran political men are veryingenious ,government want to make a challenge betweento group of people ,one group is people who supportermousavi and the other group is foolish military withthe name of BASIJ in public cloth with stick who attackthe people but they are supported with government orbad Ahmadinejad ,after few days of quarrel police willcome into simulated quarrel that planed with governmentand will terminate this fake challenge,see ?howintelligent was it ?but people are more cleverer thenthem.sorry for my previous letter Mr Jair ,in this timeevery men want to be friend with poor Persian peopleand tell us we support you ,go and go ,they seat intheir chair with safe space and tell us go in tochallenge ,Best Regards
*******************************************************

Dear JairI have flagged your email till I can find free time towrite for you!But the very early answer is this: I have not asked youto remain silent. I agree that 's one world and youhave the right to concern about freedom in every partof the world.To be honest. I don't like Hezbollah at all. I reallymean it that I hate them! So I shall soon write foryou....Regards
*******************************************************


Hi and thx for your long letter.Ya I defiantly agree with the Sa’di.I am really feeling sorrow for what happening,behaviors of police (some of them) and extremists (inboth sides). I guess in 10 days all of the conflict inour country will be ended and you will forget it soonas well.You’re not here to see what is happening. Althoughit’s not important if you were.you can also spend your on our (all human) brothers andlittle sisters whom kill in our neighborhood, Iraqand Afghanistan, as well as in Gaza people need yoursympathy too. Once awhile I heard news about a Iraqi orAfghan girl or woman raped by colonizer soldiers. Yesyou also have opportunity to defend their rights. Overone million civilian Iraqi have killed since 2003invasion. Narcotic export has increased several timessince 2002 in Afghanistan. How many more people haveaddicted in your and my country. WHOSE PROBLEM IS MORECRITICAL? For those poor people we have a proverb whichsays “got out form a hole then threw into a deepwell”. And finally Middle East is our home ratherthan your.Before US invasion to Iraq bush promised young Iraqisliberalism which you translated as freedom.. and civilsociety. I bet many of them don’t know what it is.After 6 years I can see it lots of it in Iraq.In 1953 Yankees and Britons organized a coup, using twopowerful tools to handle it. CIA agents to employ someones and BBC to provoke people and sending secretmessages. They could overthrow the people backedgovernment. You can compare it with the today’s Iransituation. There are similarities.1-About those Arabs you met 2 weeks ago. You were hereat Khomeini’s anniversary. Not only Arabs, thereforeigner guests form 5 continents.2- Where is your evidence about thoseLebanonis\Palestinians Arabs beating people in TehranStreets? As far as I know there are special riot policethat regime uses them only in critical situation likethis one. They’re been ordered not to say even a wordso rioters fear more (something like that).ONCE AGAIN : SPEND YOU TIME AND ENERGY TO THOSE ONE WHONEED IT MORE.In God we believe.Take care

*******************************************************


Hi JairThats a long one.They say no man is an island.People in Iran have been locked up for a long time toknow what the meaning of freedom is or have been bornat a time when they have had no freedom.Maybe all ofthis is just too much emotion over the past few daysbut still it doesnt give any one the excuse to tellsomeone to mind their own business and not tointerfere in other peoples affairs.What if you werehalf Canadian half Iranian(Then could you say ok i willkeep out of your affairs and stick to my Canadianside).Then probably since your half Iranian and itcomes to doing your military service you could say hayim not going to interfere in this stuff but then theywould force you to join and what happens is all of asudden your an Iranian.(not treated like a full bloodedIranian).That just proves that people are still so racist andwhat is freedom when its limited by borders.Ok so ill get out of the country and tell everyone thatcrosses the border to go back to their country or whatthe ...are you lookin at.Then again if i did such a thing what kind of personwould i be:/If people dont understand that the world is connectedthen they are really closed minded and so blind as tonot see that they are sitting behind a screen with anonline web page.Probably some of the people that contacted you or allof them are on couchsurfing and thats sad that somehave told you not to interfere in their countriespolitics.Well why the hell are they on such a culturalexchange site that people like to be able to dayanything and chat about politics and ...and is this anIranian site that allows such rude people to tell youto mind your own business or an International kind ofsite that is free for everyone to state their opinionwithout disrespecing other peoples freedom to interferewhere and when they want.I bet if some of these Irania couchsurfers were beatenup by their own people in a foreign country theywouldnt mind a hand from bystanders and the police;0)And i say it with no fear since ive had about enough ofthe police in this country and being beaten up so manytimes and my only guilt was that i was either innocentor a hero.Ive been whipped by this government beaten up to tearsin police stations and had my money and cellphonestollen in the street by thugs that were no differentbut kinder than the police and that was at knife pointand why am i saying this...Its because no oneinterveined and the street was so busy with carspassing by and no one stopped to help me with thethugs.Well ill tell you when these people need help anddont get it its not going to be fun.As the saying goes a life lived in fear is a life halflived:)Im really ashamed at the response from some of thepeople telling you not to interfere.If it was me id saylisten my mum lives in this country and doesnt want towear a headscarf so why dont you mind your own businessand stop interfering in our freedom.Its like when youcome on a holiday to europe or the west i dont tellyour mum to take of her headscarf but you force mine towear one.So who is the dictator and who is free?Enough saidTake it easy as i plan to do

Hi Jair,I hope you're fine. I've heard about the reasons whythe opposition think there has been a fraud in theelection, some of which is not reasonable and some arenot true. I want to hear your reasons too.After all what I think is that it is a war on powerthat makes people provoked.And the bad part of it is that in this war the sides donot go accoring to legitimate play rules and just abusepeople hearts specially teenagers.Anyway I hope everything will calm down soon and thankyou for your concerns,

Dear Jair Irwin,Many thanks for your kind letter. it is a true movingand caring letter to people which you are not bond byblood or heredity but stronger bond which is"freedom".As you know we are almost cut from the world withlimitations from our illegal government and i am veryhappy to hear from outside world and a completestranger how he and free societies and countries thinkabout our movement.I really appreciate your kind words and hope that someday peace and democracy come back to our country.The thing that you guys out there could do is spreadingthe words and things that are occurring in here rightnow and help us by letting know what's happening here.There is a special article about how the governmentmonitoring our media and specially internet which ourpeople would like to be bombarded and use againstcompanies(Nokia&siemens) which are providing thesetechnics and hardware.You can Google for those companies in wallsteet journalnad find the article. If any legal actions should madewe would be grateful.Regards

Hi,Thanks, I really appreciate it! I can't answer you withsome fancy words, but to tell you the truth it's allbecause greedy people!One more thing , is it a joke?your sending me youtube link?!!everything here is filtered!!! if you see some videosthey are sent through friends in other countries (likeyou). we don't even see them. and even they have cutthe satelite channels and also for 3 weeks we don'thave sms system. and for 5 days they'd cut the cellphone system!
*******************************************************


Dear Jair,Thanks for your heartfelt message of solidarity.The regime has exposed its brutal face as a militarydictatorship, run by Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, and hismilitia goons.The anti-regime majority in the country must live underthe rule of a backward-thinking Islamofacsistminority.Any glimmer of hope we had for Iran's future as ademocracy has been snuffed out, unless we pay for it inblood.I never imagined the Mousavi green wave would end likethis.Thanks again for your supportbest wishes,XXXXp.s. please delete this later, due to tight security, Idon't want my name on anything traceable ... merci!

Dear Jair,Yes, you are right.thank you for your support.your friend,
