Revolution

Mustafa looks excited. As I settle down to help him with his coursework, he tells me about the Green Revolution (also known as the flickr revolution). A revolution which is happening in Iran. He explains that the government do not allow any foreign media to enter and report on the atrocities and illegalities which take place daily. He fears for the lives of his family. Someone may come to kill them because they voted for the opposing political party. Mustafa tells me that his friends email him photos of demonstrations and violence towards demonstrators from government supporters. He smiles as he shows me his blog, where he tells the world what happens everyday in Iran. He shows me a picture of him at an anti government demonstration. “I could get killed for this picture”, he says, “but I want the world to know what is going on in my country”
