Davos Annual Meeting 2007 - Voices from Iran

[kamyarghofrani]

In Iran, you definitely have freedom of speech, as long as your speech does not matter!

[hartoor]

but I feel embarrassed whenever i hear any Iranian from my country speaks English.

[hosseinthc]

Down with islamic republic and jail to the theaves called mollahs, death to Khamenei and time for freedom and democracy

[anipussirhc]

I love Iran. I was raised there. Dad had a job in the oil patch. That place,and the people where not matched buy any other culture in the world, and I've been eveywhere.

[maxmoe2006]

I love who ever you are. do you have an email :)

[bigsoundz]

There are millions of modern-day Anne Franks. They are called Palestinians.

[stybarrow]

do iranians know what people of other nations say about their country, when there are no Iranians around to hear ? we try to be civil when meeting. but after the gatherings are concluded, people talk. would Iran like to be considered a nation that isn't perceived as a busload of decent persons but the driver is a lunatic ?

[cartoonhead5]

what about iranian bahais

[1989Alcira]

bahais with all minorities in iran r second class citizens because iran is cultic country

[nimanima20]

lies lies and lies

[sheshe670]

long live iran.

bring us peace.

[ruuuz]

Lies, Lies,Lies. Iranian Goverment is an antihuman barbaric goverment which beats women (look 8th March womens day 2007 on youtube), kills and tortures students. (look 18 TIR) People are tired of this goverment and most of people DO NOT WASTE THEIR VOTE..

[Demonicgodlike]

You're views are limited by western propaganda Ive lived there for almost my whole life. If you do as the law says and you act accordingly then you will be fine.

[2anewday]

wait a minute friend, what if your the type of person who cant ignore the human rights abuses and limitations of personal rights and freedoms. What if u think Iranians should enjoy the same rights that people around the globe enjoy? Those laws u speak of, what If they arent democractic? what if you dont believe in Sharieh? come on, the only way u can say what ur saying is if u r either religious to the point that u believe change is unnecessary or u simply havent had to face reality in Iran.

[saa786110]

This guy is an Iranian who escaped during the Islamic Revolution, so do not waste your time reading his gibberish statement.

[2anewday]

and you would know about Iranian lives, becuz your from India right? why r u getting all riled up are you moslem? dont you think maybe those Iranians who "ESCAPED during the revolution" would know somethings u dont? where do u get off with the right to say their statement is gibberish or not?

[SayiDSE]

ruuuz!

U r totally right! Those who oppose u do it not b-cuz they do not know the truth, but b-cuzt the truth contradicts their interest!

[sheshe670]

you are crazy iranians are very good people and they will bring peace into middle east like what they did 2500 years ago .

[ajisuperman]

the iranian goverment might be currupt. but the iranian people are good. almost all iranians like america.

[hooman0]

All the viewers please note what presented in this video specially the Iranian lady with Hejab is not the view of majority of Iranian women. since she thinks she will be back to Iran and she might be questioned by the secret police she prefers to hide the truth rather than saying it. Iranian women and men are living in big prison called Iran. they hate theocratic government and they demand democracy more than anybody in this world.

[pakman54321]

Youre an idiot I have seen plenty of women wear veils there. What is your problem not everyone judges on the exterior

[kirtokosseamrica]

i am so lucky to be able to witness the downfall the american empire within my lifetime.

thank you IRAN for standing fast against the brutal arrogent injusitce of the u.s. brutal hegemonic empire.

[kirtokosseamrica]

I can't believe i am so lucky to witness the end of the american empire in my life time.

thank you iran by helping this end to come true. bravo iran for standing fast against brutal nature of the u.s. empire.

[king0cyrus0the0great]

It's all about the money right?

[humanityfirstnow]

interesting that the threat from outside radicalised and hardened. when the sun shines the man will take his coat off. Russia became a closed society due to the outside threats to its existence after ww1.

[MaksudDjavadov]

Some good points by Vali Nasr. I would like to add that the world forgets that all this positive changes that exsist in Iran and no other place in the region, was done by the person who is demonized by the western media, namely Imam Khomeini (ra), all this was never present during US backed Shah. People fail to admit that all the positive in Iran is there bcs its ruled by Islamic principles and not by cleptocratic regimes which are backed by US.

[bodazey]

excellent conference !

much needed.

[PrivateSi]

Intelligent debate by those that know what they're talking about. I fear the neo-con preemptive attack policy far more than a nuclear Iran. I don't believe Iran will launch a massive, state approved attack unless in (non preemptive) self defense.

[PrivateSi]

An interesting, intelligent debate by those that know what they're talking about. The average American, and fundamentalist Iranian/Muslim lack empathy - a major problem. The US neo-con principal of 'preemptive attack as defense'?! is far more worrying than a nuclear Iran, IMO. I hope the Iranian sexism problem further improves (which it has). I hope both Iran & the Us become less bigoted and persecutory, against foreigners, religions and homosexuals for instance. US leaders are armed robbers!
