Green is the color of hope. Green
is the color of Islam. And green was the symbol of recognition among the
supporters of presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who became the
symbolic figure of the Green Revolution. The presidential elections on June
12th, 2009 were supposed to bring about a change, but contrary to all
expectations the ultra-conservative populist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was confirmed
in office. As clear as was the result, as loud and justified were the
accusations of vote-rigging. The on-going “Where is my vote?” protest
demonstrations were again and again worn down and broken up with brutal attacks
by government militia. Images taken from private persons with their cell phones
or cameras bear witness to this excessive violence: people were beaten, stabbed,
shot dead, arrested, kidnapped, some of them disappearing without trace. What
remains is the countless number of dead or injured people and victims of
torture, and another deep wound in the hearts of the Iranians.
