If pro-democracy endeavors are not supported during this short window of opportunity, Iranians may never see freedom in Iran again.
With this in mind, the Islamic regime has actively been working in Iran and abroad to make sure freedom fighters do not have the chance to use this window of opportunity.
After President Bush's proclamation of support for Iranian freedom fighters, the Islamic regime has embarked on a campaign to separate any unified forces of opposition who seek freedom and democracy for Iran.
One such group, "Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran" (SMCCDI), has always been on the forefront of the opposition movement against the regime of terror. This opposition group has been a key figure in
aiding the freedom fighters in Iran with the aim of establishing a secular political structure elected by the majority of Iranians and returning human rights to Iran.
By way of its web site, SMCCDI has been a major source of political inspiration for many young Iranians striving for modernism and democracy.
Our analysis or public statements called for some of the successful demonstrations, protest actions or boycotts of Islamic regime's events or sham elections which took place in Iran and abroad, such as, in US, France, UK and Italy.
Hundreds of hours of satellite TV and radio programs based on SMCCDI's materials or interviews amde with its members have been one main source of enlightenment and action for millions of young Iranians striving for freedom and
modernism.
From the defense of students and the support of Iranian women, voicing up the legitimate aspirations of teachers and workers to the very clear promotion of secularity, SMCCDI has always been at the forefront!
Many of you do remember how we promoted this today undeniable principles of "Secularity" and "Real Democracy" at times that most were promoting sham "reforms from within the frame of theocracy" or the masquerade named "Islamic
Democracy"!
Our group has also been an integral part of bringing important and timely reports from inside Iran and has been sited by reputable news sources such as The Washington Times, The Los Angeles Times, The World Tribune, The New York Sun, The Wall Street Journal, The National Review, The Salon, The Insight Magazine, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, The Front Page Magazine and CNN in the US; The National Post and The Ottawa Citizen in Canada; Le Figaro and Le Parisian in France; Corrier Della Sera, Il Foglio, Il Reformista and Opinione in Italy; Prima in Russia; The Financial Times and The Herald in UK; Berliner Zeitung and
Jungle World in Germany; The Japan Today in Japan to name a few.
SMCCDI also stood firmly against those Islamic republic apologists and lobbyists who intended to legitimize the Islamic republic by promoting ties between the US and Mullahcracy. Nor their threats or nor a long and legal procedure were not able to make us bent in front of political Machiavellism and those building money or fame on the blood of our countrymen and freedom fighters!
Those of you familiar with our work can back our claim!
Sadly, due to dwindling funds, SMCCDI's web site, (
http://www.daneshjoo.org also known as http://www.iranstudents.org ), as well as its aid to members and freedom fighters in Iran, has been diminished.
