Slogans of the pro-democracy students in Tehran

FDI received the following translation from family members in the United States of the political slogans used by the pro-democracy students at Tehran University, which highlight the nationalist and anti-clerical nature of the demonstrations.

20 years of silence has ended, the uprising has started!

Students are roaring, the regime is shaking!

Khamene'i, Khamene'i, Shame, Shame!

Khatami, Khatami, where is your support!

The killers of Forouhar are hiding beneath the Leader's Aba (Mullah's cape)!

Freedom of thought is not possible with bearded leaders!

Incompetent Leader [Khamene'i], Resign! Resign!

Hezbollah, Taleban, Congratulations on your Joint Venture!

Hezbollah, Taleban, Death to your conspiracies!

The blood of our martyrs is dripping from your claws!

These spiritless police are not found in any nation!

The commander of the Forces [LEF] must be executed!

Larijani (head of state-run radio and television, IRIB] must be executied!

Those responsible for this criminal aggression must be executed before they kill themselves! [reference to the "suicide" of Saed Emami, the MOIS deputy Minister who orchestrated the Forouhar killings]
