Reza Moradi disrupts Tony Benn; gets thrown out

[NoFearNoMercy]

Maybe this reza needs reminding about who the SAVAK were.

[aramian21]

This guy says he has been repressed and tortured by Islamic regime of Iran, possibly true. He says elements of the Islamic regime of Iran are among speakers taking advantage of the opportunity.

Tony Benn is a man of principles who believes the war is wrong even against the criminal regimes of Iran or Saddam.

Moral: If can't make your point without getting violnt or being kicked off, shut up and let knowledgable Benn talk.

[HOLLNAIER]

Maybe he would have prefferred a bit of waterbrdng? Tony is exceptional and one of the few un-corruptables...Hilary on the other hand...heckle that little shit any day of the week!

[dazzanumber3]

the ignorant tit wanted to hijack somebody else's rally....i would have set about him for being rude, or just cut his wire....selfish bastard

[verysmartmart]

Freedom of speech?!? Not at a Communist Rally...

[twigletdiceman]

i was at that rally, i don't remember seeing that happen. fair enough he had a point he wanted to make, but he could have done it before tony benn started if he wanted to be heard and get his point across, instead he was there to piss of people that had gone to a Stop The War rally. he's a bit of a dick really

[BrownSugar4You]

this asshole was at the wrong rally

good he got kicked out !!!

[emulau]

I think he was at the wrong rally,

did'nt have much to say anyway.

What an asshole.

[sachoudhury]

some ireanin are just animal busterds

[007arian]

Mullahs are bred and supported by British government and no surprise if they dont want to hear such democratic voices.

[DominicMetal1979]

He seems so out of place: talking like a college professor in front of a group of wild-eyed, unthinking protestors.

[zholian1990]

Down With Islamic Regim of IRAN......

[thinkdeniro]

baba kiram tu kos e jado abadetun bereo bargardeh....bezar tony benn harfesho bezane.

[ankhfkhonsu]

After all, the comrade thugs are big believers of individual freedoms like the freedom of speech.

No wait. They are merely humanists against war as long as you don't disgree with them and then force is ok.

Fucking morons. No wonder the muslims are laughing so hard they're pissing their pants.

[pankettleblack]

Hi Reza - That took a lot of guts. Much respect.

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more from you

[Nounismisation]

Bloody hell. demo at the demo and everyone gets a headache about freedom to speak and demonstrate.

[KennBurch]

Also, the title of this clip is inaccurate, since Moradi didn't actually SUCCEED in disrupting Tony Benn's speech. He got in a minor confrontation with the event marshals and was escorted out. In all liklihood, Tony Benn wasn't even aware of Moradi's presence, since he kept on speaking without any pause.

[Mouse1000]

"We do not allow this demonstration!"

Just tos ay that is very silly.

And I must say disrupting someone while they are trying to do "Free speech" is not right.

We allow you to do free speech so let us!

[kdehead]

that guy has guts. he's an iranian exile as far as i know..

[MaximillionMole]

Reza Moradi has guts, good for him.

As for the comment

"how is disrupting and talking over someone else free speech? "

That's what you risk when you want to organise a rally in a public place. You risk getting the "off script" opinion of members of the public.

If you want a cosy on-message meeting, hire the G-Mex, or get more bouncers.

[KennBurch]

Moradi is delusional if he thinks any war waged by the US could ever bring positive change in Iran. The US has ALWAYS been against democracy and equality and justice in Iran and the Middle East. And none of the executions he was ranting about will be stopped by a US war.

[Modernjazz1]

Mr Moradi is to be commended for his bravery in standing up to a group of fascists. The stewards should be investigated for assault, as there tactics are reminiscent of how Hitler's followers used to deal with left-wing protestors in the early days of the Nazi Party.

[london1666]

Classic line: "There are 50,000 of us so go away"

Freedom of speech only for the majority then?

[thebennite]

Everyone is allowed the right to free speech but how is disrupting and talking over someone else free speech? Tony Benn has stated that he see's no moral difference between a suicide bomber and a stealth bomber; ie they are both morally repugnant. The vast majority of the anti-war movement are against all violence. Perhaps Reza Moradi should hold a pro-war rally and see who shows up.

[Bobak1]

I Commend the Man. We All Need to Stand Up like Him.

Long Live Iran.

[janek04]

Yeah man, it's a great place. Beacon of human achievement. Human rights. And enlightenment.
