On April 28, 2009 an exciting, new phenomenon happened at Allameh Tabatabee`s Literature and Foreign Languages Faculty. I don’t really know what to call it, but students called it a "Free Lectern". As I was walking through the campus, I saw my friend talking on a microphone behind a lectern encircled by a crowd of students. I walked closer and I pushed through the crowd, elbowing people out of the way in order to have a clear sight of the scene. This was arranged in order that students could say their ideas on upcoming presidential election which will be held on June 12. After awhile, a campaign was run for and against the Ahmadi Nejad`s administration. Something that really made me to contemplate a little bit was that whenever a student brought up official names, the moderator suddenly stopped them. They said, "They would sensor students` talks if they contained any criticism of official figures." The question is: Why are we afraid of finding and hearing the truth. To be continued.

  1. Hi dear,
    Welcome to the blog world,
    In many countries, there are some policies to protect states or other poltical and social communities against protestants, and surprisingly,they,themselves, provide some so-called democratic air to let you announce your ideas to the world, but only an experienced sophisticate knows what's the real story!
