Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Five)

Update (7/28/2009):Berman Post: Iranian Revolution (Day Forty-Six). End of Update:

Mousavi declares the protests will continue; "Iran's opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi said on Monday the pro-reform protests which erupted after the country's disputed June presidential vote will continue, his website reported.

"The pro-reform path will continue," Mousavi said in a statement. "The establishment should respect the constitution and let us to gather to commemorate our killed loved ones on Thursday."
" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090727/ts_nm/us_iran_mousavi). More at http://hotair.com/archives/2009/07/27/mousavi-protests-will-continue-until-regime-backs-down and http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/28/world/middleeast/28iran.html.

Large scale protests and demonstrations may be subsiding (http://keepingthechange.blogspot.com/2009/07/voice-of-america-iran-protests-subside.html), but 'phase two' is picking up the slack; "The second phase plays out in a boycott of goods advertised on state-controlled television. Just try buying a certain brand of dairy product, an Iranian human-rights activist told me, and the person behind you in line is likely to whisper, "Don't buy that. It's from an advertiser." It includes calls to switch on every electric appliance in the house just before the evening TV news to trip up Tehran's grid. It features quickie "blitz" street demonstrations, lasting just long enough to chant "Death to the dictator!" several times but short enough to evade security forces. It involves identifying paramilitary Basij vigilantes linked to the crackdown and putting marks in green — the opposition color — or pictures of protest victims in front of their homes. It is scribbled antiregime slogans on money. And it is defiant drivers honking horns, flashing headlights and waving V signs at security forces.

The tactics are unorganized, largely leaderless and only just beginning. They spread by e-mail, websites and word of mouth. But their variety and scope indicate that Iran's uprising is not a passing phenomenon like the student protests of 1999, which were quickly quashed. This time, Iranians are rising above their fears.

With so many companies on the verge of bankruptcy (http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/150-prominent-iranian-companies-are-on-the-verge-of-bankruptcy), the boycotts could have a real and quick impact.

More turmoil in the government, the intelligence minister was fired (http://keepingthechange.blogspot.com/2009/07/al-jazeera-iran-intelligence-minister.html). With Harandi resignation, Ahmadinejad’s cabinet may no longer be official (http://niacblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/26/harandi-resigns-ahmadinejad’s-cabinet-no-longer-official). Mehrabian (Iranian Minister) being found guilty of fraud is not helping things (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/27/ali-akbar-mehrabian-iran_n_245724.html).

The official legal ruling on the protesters will be delivered within the week; "The head of Iran's judiciary has ordered a decision within a week on the fate of prisoners arrested after disputed elections, Iranian media say." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8170847.stm).
