These "greenies" (as you call them) won't be emmigrating to Australia - nor probably will be the ones still languishing(without charges) in your prisons

God bless all the martyrs of truth!
I believe for every person on this list there are a few we will never come to know their names and circumstances of their murders by Islamic Republic. I would like to believe that protesters meant it when they cried "I will kill whoever killed my brothers and sisters".
It is about time to have a master list so we can etch forever names and faces of these freedom fighters in our memories and make sure they did not die in vain. I live for the day we bulldoze Khomeini tomb and in its place put up a memorial wall that holds names of all sons and daughters of Iran who were murdered by Khomeini and his legacy, the repressive, criminal, and corrupt Islamic Republic.
HOW TO EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF GOVERNANCE ?
JUDICIAL KILLINGS / EXECUTIONS
CHINA 2009
In 2009, Chinese authorities likely executed thousands of people - than any other country -according to an Amnesty International report published March 30. It is not possible to give an exact figure due to China's lack of transparency and the secrecy surrounding capital trials and state executions.
US, IRAN and SAUDI ARABIA 2009
The total of 714 documented judicial killings outside China
includes 52 in the U.S.
Iran executed at least 388 people
and
Saudi Arabia at least 69 of the 714 documented judicial killings.
EUROPE 2009
For the first time since the anti-death-penalty group started keeping track some 30 years ago, there were no executions in Europe.

Kiterunner,
You commented in another thread that you voted for Mousavi. You also wrote that you wanted to keep the Islamic Republic in place and only wanted reform. I did not have time to respond to your comments then. On this thread, however, I would like to say to you and other young Iranians of your age group that no reform will change this corrupt, criminal and repressive regime. Eight years of Khatami fiasco proved that.
I hope young Iranians like you stop being a pawn and a party to the fight for power at the top between reformists and principlists. Students were killed during Khatami presidency and now are being killed during Ahmadi presidency. People were executed without due process during Mousavi tenure as prime minster, Rafsanjani as president and Ahmadi as president. People were raped in Islamic Republic prisons when Karroubi was speaker of the Majlis (parliament) and now that Larijani is the speaker of Majlis. Election was nullified by Khomeini as it has been by Khamenei. Khomeini nullified 11 million votes for Bani Sader and Khamenei nullified votes (we still do not know how many) for Mousavi. This is the report card of Islamic Republic and its leaders. Neither reformists nor principlists worth a damn, neither group is worth dying for.
After 31 one years you guys need to wake up from your deep sleep. You need to stop being brained washed zombies and face the reality. If you do not , 20 years from now it will be your young son or daughter who will be the victim of Islamic Republic and it will be his/her name that will be added to the list of people raped and murdered.
God forbidden if it was you on this list, will your parents be comforted by us asking for God’s Blessing for their murdered son and daughter? I know my parents will not be. Parents of Kianoush Asa, Morad Aghasi, Mohsen Entezami, and all other martyred on this list do not need you and I to ask for God’s Blessing alone; they ask us to seek justice for their loved ones. Parents of these freedom fighters are asking us to bring to justice killers of their sons and daughters and all sons and daughters of Iran. And that will not come about by taking one corrupt person of Islamic Republic and put another one in his place. Justice will shine on Iran when the current broken system is erased and put to rest eternally; when a new constitution is drafted and a new system of government is installed- a system of government that operates lawfully in accordance to the constitution.
In Iran, you can do and you should want to do more than keeping a broken system in place and just remove one joker and put another joker its place.
