  • Im not Iranian, but i have visited Iran many times and i love its nice and caring people living in peace and harmony, progressing towards new technologies. But the enemies cant bear to see Iran's development. Therefore I can understand all these false allegations on Iranian government and people.

  • my friends in iran have said that they found this girl. and executed her .

  • @rockWHORE - Please stop making shit up to get attention, she's alive and well, check the post "Still Chanting in Iran" on the Daily Dish, they spoke with her the other day.

  • @TrueFriction stope being a dickhead. and it was something i heard. instead of being a fucking wanker. just say 'well that is in fact incorrect, she is alive and well and recently interviewed'. you wouldnt be saying it like that to my face you loser keyboard warrior.

  • @rockWHORE - Please stop making shit up to get attention, she's alive and well, check the post "Still Chanting in Iran" on the Daily Dish, they spoke with her the other day.

  • Man bayed gerye bekonam age in Video ra negah mikonam. :(

  • "Faith" is what you have in things that don't exist. . There are only two kinds of religious people; THE DECEIVER and THE DECEIVED! Stop praying and do something about it.

  • الله أبدا، دائما الشيطان

  • @bryanguy1 thanks for supporting our movement for freedom, i think at this moment it is the real fight of a country for its freedom, thank you again

  • I too stand with these people as a Christian. I don't believe God intended for people to live under tyranny.

  • ma ba shoma hastim ghalbe man ba shomast stay strong this is about to end xxx free iranxxxx

  • let everyone remember that one islam is not the problem its the government

    tthe government uses the religion and gods name to do this stuff otherwise the religion isnt like that

    the problem is the government not the religion

  • @persiangurl100 This is the smartest thing I have ever read on any comment on youtube. You are 100% correct-you are one smart persiangurl!!!

  • This place is I ran and this place is America and this place is Africa and this place is Earth. This place is the World we are creating where we, the children of God live lost In our own nightmare. Hope to you sister my prayers and my love go to you. You are not alone.

  • So hearbreaking, Very nice poem, very good job :)

    This is deeply upsetting, i try not to cry.

    MARG BARG AHMADI, MARG BARG KHOMENHI, MARG BARG REGIME ISLAMI!

    Irane, azad! FREE IRAN, my love.

  • This breaks my heart!

  • Khamanei..

  • beautifull and lovable

    very nice

  • omg this is so heartbreaking

    screw the islamic republic of iran and khameni and ahmadinejad

    they will rot in hell

  • She asks for help, we Americans are right here. Open the door for us to help rid your country of it tyrants. God has sent help, but you are unwilling to see his path. The pain that the Dictators of your country have caused, and the pain to come is not going to go away without your help. Remember, God helps those who help themselves. Apathy will never be dismissed as non-involvement.

  • I have listened to this so many times already that you would think I would have moved on BUT I continue to listen and will continue to listen for there is truth in that voice of pain.

    And only by embracing pain can we love truth. And truth not only will set us free but without truth we cannot be free.

    Go you beautiful Persians. The people of the USA love you for your defiance.

  • For all the abuses that this sites freedom of information and expression can fall prey to, and for all the sad celebrity culture that it encourages this, finally, is why YouTube must exist. A frightened human can talk to the world and be heard. She may be in Iran today but who knows? Maybe tomorrow it will be an American hiding in the night as their country goes mad. I cant do much to help this woman other than listen, and I think thats all she wants us to do.

  • But after '45 there wasn't much left from industrillisation, huh?

    Expressive poem, hope Iran get it's peace.

  • I heard this weeks ago, and thought I would never heard it again. I did not understand but understood the power and emotion behind the words. May god protect you.

  • A Poem

  • No More Mollahs no more akhonds

    FREE IRAN

  • I broke down when she was breaking down. Is horrible, we are here with you and with all Iran we hear your voice!!! I know that many people have died but it wont be in vain, I promised it wont. Justice for Iran, justice for all... they are brothers, family, humans like us threat them as equal. No matter religion, race or political views. They are suffering please support them!!!

  • Ma piroozim. Hokoomat Eslami zed irani ast va mahkoom be naboudi, chon Iran ast ke bayad bemanad va Iran Khahad mand.

  • I have never been so moved by the sound of people's voices... I would love to visit your country one day... Iran... It sounds like a beautiful place...

  • Iran is beautiful and has more historic sites then Egypt and India combined but as long as these Islamofascists are ruling us none of that matters. Imagine nazi Germany but instead of nationalism we have a fascist dictatorship based on religion. It sucks b/c at least hitler industrilized Germany.

    We went from being the 13th economy in the world at the start of the 1979 revolution and having the opportunity to host the Olympics to this. Fucking mullahs

  • its not islams fault

    islam is the most peacful and best religion

    its the people who corrupt it who use gods name to do things like this

  • @anandshah80 I feel sooo sorry for you, coz you see culture in music and dance?!!!! u're such a strange individual! and by the way, I'm persian byt I don't have even 1 iranian friend; they're all foreigners and trust me, all of them except my best friend LOVE persian music.

  • @anandshah80 They've got it downloaded in their ipod and always listen to it more than their own language, blieve it or not. But I have to agree with you about the dance, I don't like it either, but you can't argue on our culture since we're from an ancient country with culture and history.

    It's good to learn how to respect your brothers and sisters, since we're all from one parents.

  • @nimrooo And people like you who think they know but are simply ignorant are no better

  • @nuranimewriter

    I know one thing faggot. I know that I am free of Islam and dark age mentality. Go fuck yourself muslim.

  • the most rigid structures will fall.....love the defiant, protesting rooftop shouts of Allah-o-Akbar in the background - cos that's the only thing they can shout without being arrested.....powerful n moving - we're with you all the way!

  • hate the islamic regime?

    help take down their propaganda sites!

    visit wher is my vote .c  o m

  • No militias, no presidents, no supreme leaders or grand ayatollahs, no humans are beyond the judgement of Allah.  You know Allah hears all, sees all, knows all. Your cries are heard.

  • Ok so what your basically saying is that Allah hears all the cries, sees all the beatings, rappings and killings, knows all the pain we're going through and yet dose nothing. I'm sorry but you can keep your promises of the afterlife paradise and hell are right here on earth and it's funny how most Muslim countries and more like hell

  • Before I converted, I grew up Catholic and heard the same nonsense of heaven and hell. I don't need threats from imams and authorities. I just keep a simple faith in one God. Humans create hell every day. But thugs that imagine they will escape Allah are delusional. It's all human nonsense. As soon as we pretend we can speak on behalf of Allah, we are illegitimate. And that is why most politicians and imams and so-called people's leaders are 100% phony illegitimate manipulative dogs.

  • God bless you lady! We are with you every step of the way. We can not come to you physically but feel our spirit!!!!!

  • I am crying right now. One woman, one voice, others crying in the night for freedom. Crying to God. God is with you...we are with you..we are one

  • You will one day regain your Sar-zamin. When you do please remember the 6 million Iranians outside the country were with you and we too would like to return to that wonderful Sarzamin and the wonderful people of Iran.

    Shalom from Israel

  • The world is with you.

  • Allah reward every believers, so if they are thruthfull to allah and do good deeds to allah. They Shall recieve rain in abondance, but does who disbelieve shall be strick with hell-fire. - Keep the Faith Strong! weater ur a Jew , christian or muslim. Believe in every of its book (torah , Gospel , Quran) and all its messengers , angels..

  • Take Afghanistan for example. Up until 1970's they were a quiet people and a quiet country. When the barbaric Soviets invaded, War and the murder and oppression of Moslems started, and up until now has turned that country into the Afghanistan you see today. Don't tell me that Taliban just grew out of the ground. Needless to say that Afghanistan then became the hot spot for terrorists and the likes.

  • That really sent chills up my spine when she says "Friday the 19th of June 2009 - Tomorrow, Saturday - Tomorrow is a day of Destiny"

    "Tomorrow" was June 20th - that's the day that Neda died...

  • It simply made me cry... just beautiful. The world is hearing you and will never leave you alone again. Just a beautiful poem.

  • na pas, baraye reza shahe goosale faryad bezanan.

  • vaghti koleh nezam raft toye FAZELAB mifahmi bara ki kooneto pareh koni...

    fuck rafsanjani and khamenei both...GAV

  • ALLAH o Asqar

  • The rooftop "Allah O Akbar" cries of Iranians who are these days protesting against the IRI is good evidence that Aslan is right about the unifying power of religion in fighting injustice, even if that injustice is being commited in the name of the same religion.

  • "Where is this place where so many innocent people are entrapped? Where is this place where no one comes to our aid? Where is this place where with only our silence we are sending our voices to the world? Where is this place where the young shed blood and then people go and pray? Standing on that same blood and pray...."

    This is the poetry of Iran. Free Iran!

  • this poem is so beautiful!

  • cried with you!

  • Calling to God is good but where are your

    1.4 billion brothers and sisters in Islam.

    Why is most of the support protest from ouside of Islamic states.

    it pains me to tell you you brothers and sisters in Islam support the Twrant

  • First of all who are you to speak on behalf of the nation of Islam. Those countries have tyrant leaders who have stolen the voice of the masses, just like Iran. Second, What is your point? Even if all of there is no support for Iran from Islamic countries, what does that say?

  • Pathetic. What is happening there can help to stop all that rot. Blame? Pfft.

  • islam!? who gives a shit about islam. thats why they dont help us. because we can careless about islam. 1st freedom then religion.

  • that was an amazing a beautiful poem. I pray you and your people may become a place where the crys of Allah are of praise and peace and your doors may be open always. :D I pray your stuggle goes as quickly and bloodlessly as possible. Hang in there!!!!!!! the Freedom is worth it!!!

  • If the road to freedom is made difficult through silent marches alone, then these brave warrior people of the land of lovers and poets will achieve it through love and poetry...

    May the "Sea of Green" prevail over this dark web of tyranny!!!

  • This is Poetry. As a collective of people, no matter what nation, we can, all, hear her words. Her words are speaking to all of us. This is Reality.

  • thankyo. the world is watching and does hear you. May the REAL IRAN, be blessed and protected by God.

  • Who are you to offer help or deny it? You do not know the PEOPLE of Iran, all you know about Iran are the actions of its DICTATOR and dialogue through CNN! So ignorant.

  • vaghean...marg bar akhonda

  • Beautiful poem. The saliency of it is so much more powerful with the yelling, ect. in the background. We support you guys here in Kansas, Rock Chalk.

  • We support you in Belgium. Stay strong!

  • This video is not about American politics. The ppl that use a thread like this to venture into which politician they like the least in the US are not appreciating the fact that they can freely say whatever they want - but the real person who made this video put herself in real danger by creating and posting this. Danger most of us could prob never imagine. Think about that before you hijack the bravery and eloquence of this young woman so you can have your soapbox. Rise above, or remain silent..

  • I am so proud of the Iranian people for gathering peacefully. (The stone-throwing will not help their cause.) Their struggle is the same as everywhere, and we can support them with words, songs, prayers, but not weapons. It's not about the US; Obama should let it play out. Chile, Philippines, Serbia, and the civil rights struggles in the US achieved victory without violence. If nothing else, Iranians have averted nukes US right wingers were calling for: their humanity is so visible. Peace

  • Why cant people get over the fact that this isnt about Obama, GOP, Democrats. It's about the people there.  Stop placing blame and try to do something to help.

  • I don't know what you are trying to say, but your superb spelling is just amazing.

  • Fuck you those who still believe that USA will bring freedom or anything like that to anywhere! USA should be out from Mid.East. forever. We know how many killed in Iraq by US. We know the human rights violations made by the US-backed Kurdistan government. I appreciate those Americans who are with those brave people, but you should be also against any armed interference against Iran.

  • i am an american and i don't want to roll in there with tanks and guns blazing but i would atleast like for people here to arrange demonstrations and possibly send aid or maybe even medical care, something peaceful but still useful

  • The intelligentsia from Iran (in our universities and think tanks) as well as the few protestors who have been able to speak to Western media from the streets of Tehran all agree that President Obama speaking out forcefully would add to their problems.

    So the question is: why do you all have a problem with it? Is is because he is trying something new and that frightens you or is it because of the pigment of his skin?

  • i think trying to bring race into this is a bit lame, even the conservatives that have a problem with him don't care that he's black

  • This is why I did not vote for Obama, He is not a leader of the free world!

  • ITT Obama leads worlds.

  • Im so pissed at Obama for siding with Tyranny and not helping promote freedom. He has done nothing to send a distinct message. He will lend no hand. So worried about appeasing the dictators. Hear this girl Obama? She is telling you that the people want to be free, the people are rising, now is the time to bring liberty to these people who will fight by your side. Instead you watch them die in the streets. These people are weaponless and you allow them to be picked off like flies.

  • Comment removed

  • USA and Obama are with you! do not let the comments from those who use your plight as a way to fuel their own politics in US.

  • the us is pulling for you but not obama

  • چه شد كه به اينجا رسيديم

  • lady why are u afraid of ppl saying allaho akbar....its just a prayer...?

  • The USA is with you. Stand tall and strong and free.

  • Salaam Aleukum from Turkey!

    I'm really sad for you brothers, I call you brothers because I know you better than Western hypocrites, I know what it feels to be opressed, I was about to cry when I heard that poem, because it was true for my country too.

    I'm hopeless but I'm sure that history will write you with honor.

    Allah-o Akbar! This word which I heard million times from the mosques of my country, never meant that much, untill I heard it from you. Allah-o Akbar! Death to the dictator!

  • We are hearing your voices in Holland and pray for safety and justice for all people in Iran!

  • We stand by you! The power of the people cannot be denied! Chinese understands your pain because of 1989!

  • My God, Women of Iran!

    Now I know why the call you lionesses.

  • One of the most relevant and powerful videos of our generation, and I've seen alot. Never have I cried because of a Youtube video.

    Evil abounds in this world, but there is still good. The world is watching, Iran.

  • Hopefully, the Iranian protesters will soon understand that Mousavi and Rafsanjani are not their friends. The only answer for the people of Iran is to get rid of the religious stranglehold of the ayatollahs and Revolutionary Guard and basijs choking your country and to have a real democracy. Once you remove them from power, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and we will all be free of the main threat to our security here in the Middle East.

    Shalom from Israel.

  • Indeed

  • US is on your side. Go university students go

  • Austria is praying for you suffering & innocent people in Teheran and all over Iran, just keep believing in our father and he will give you justice (whether in this life or after the physic-deatch). Shalom & Peace

  • Man, I couldn't even imagine what it must be like there...  There is so much we take for granted here in the US, it makes me feel so ashamed to watch this and realize how much I should be thankful for everyday...

  • I pray for you and with you, with you and for you. They are not different.

  • You are not alone, little girl, your swishing is very loud, every corner in the world can hear you.

    You are not alone...

    From - Indonesia

  • absolutely lyrical in its simplicity and piercing in its effect

    May the Lord be with you...

  • "May your wishes all come true"

  • Dear lady, you are not alone and you are being heard.

    The Iranian people are in this Australian woman's thoughts.

  • You are not alone!

    We the people of the world are eagerly waiting the outcome and are praying for you and hoping that our leaders will stand up and take action!

    I will pray for you tonight.

  • God bless this young lady, my heart and prayers go out to her. Your voice is heard by millions around the world, in turn let us raise our voices so that our government leaders hear our voices and know that we insist on helping the people of Iran with their fight for freedom.

  • You are heard and we Believe! Fear and Evil will never prevail!

  • Very authentic and moving, I would like to be with you on that roof. Whole world is watching and you are not alone! We can hear You!

  • OMG tanam larzid bekhoda

  • Young people all over the world are with you, Iran.

  • Praying for this women. :(

    From a Canadian women.

  • Join the facebook group "100 Million Facebook members for Democracy in Iran"

    Show your support.

  • This may be social media's first work of art.

  • Good luck to the Iranian protestors.

    Support them. Protest locally, sign petitions, make your voice heard.

    Khameini is not God. He does not deserve to be idolised or given unquestionable irrevocable power.

  • Marissaalex-- you are even a sadder creature to not be able to accept other peoples beliefs and culture as valid. If you are an atheist thats fine, but leave this girl alone. Its not like you know any better than she does. Look at what she is going through and ask yourself if what you say does one ounce of good?

  • the person I'm commenting to is not the same person who made the video....

    and the person who made the video is NOT even the same person who reposted it here on youtube....

    you weren't part of our conversation, so mind your own business.

  • I also believe in God and Liberty.

    So, today I'm an Iranian with you from japan.

  • the other fact is that how 20% of america own 80 percent of the money of the US people ;) and you 80% are living with that 20% , and the wars and .. are all sending your moneys , taxes to haliberton and these weaponry companies ;) < dont forget it .

  • That 80% still live real well and still don't give 3 shits about Iran. All we Americans care about is LOW gas prices so we can continue to live large. That's what real FREEDOM is all about

  • Please let's forget about small things like religion and childish conflicts between them right now- we are all human beings, and that's that. This is about people, about human beings, fighting for the freedom they deserve.

  • I'm an 'Origin of Species' thumping atheist, but I could feel and appreciate their fervor, despite the fact that their language was laden with religious imagery. There's not much that can blunt that sort of intensity and yearning.

  • there is no god.

  • This woman is pleading for help and you say that there is no god? 

    I feel sorry for you.

    These people fight for freedom.

    You take it for granted.

  • Like I said to the other fool, how do you know?

  • It's not religion that makes conflicts and starts war, it's people. The basis for most major religions is relatively the same, if people lived according to the core ideals of most religions, there would be alot less trouble in the world. Don't blame religion for people's mistakes.

  • I agree

    Christians, Muslims and Jews all worship the same god

    They're just too stupid to live together

  • because thats where america sends in its troops

  • True minds admit impediments. Truth is not Truth, which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

    That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark,Truth is not Time's fool.

  • As an American, I don't think it's entirely appropriate to be talking about domestic matters in the US after hearing what this poet has to say. It strikes me as being a little too...self-involved.  The Iranians are dying in the streets for their freedom as we speak.

  • I feel so deeply when I watch this for these people...it's deeply moving. I'm so sorry that this world has such inhumane people in it. Man's inhumanity to man is the hardest pill to swallow. Don't give up...Be strong. Love from California...K

  • Powerful. Best of luck to you.

  • Obama sucks. It takes some courage to take thousands from Merrill Lynch lobbyists and then bravely vote to give them free money.

  • America & Britain don't want democracy in Iran.

    If they did, Britain wouldn't have overthrown their democracy in the early 1900s & installed a series of dictatorial Shah's that dismantled the constitution.

    Nor would they have overthrown the reemerging democracy in 1953 with a military coup & again reinstalled the dictatorial Shah & trained his brutal secret police, the SAVAK to torture & kill tens of thousands.

    No, oil at "rock bottom prices" is what America & Britain are after.

  • Allah-o Akbar!

  • We are watching and we hear you! Stay brave. "Give me liberty or give me death!" That was the passion that lead us to be free! Stay passionate, fight strong, don't let them weaken you. Fight for your freedom! We are watching and we are hoping for you and we are behind you! Let everyone you know aware we are! Do not get discouraged! Hang tough!

  • And what makes you think we're "free"? Don't get too cocky. Nothing is easier to enslave than a person who believes he is free.

  • Oh trust me, I feel we are anything but free anymore in this country. Too bad as a country we are allowing the gov to take over our freedoms. One day I am sure we will have our own revolution to deal with. In the meantime, I want to encourage those who are willing to fight for it and I can only hope those same people will one day encourage us when we need it... and by the looks of things we are going to need it.

  • @carabliz

    You're truly retarded. I bet you've even been outside the US. You're a spoiled piece of shit who has no idea how lucky he is to live in the US (or any western country for that matter). Just pathetic.

  • freedom is a vague politicians term.

  • Go to North Korea and see how 'vague' a term freedom is. It is an essential human value that only shitheads like you take for granted.

  • so, what does freedom mean and how is really possible for everybody? If I have the freedom to buy a nuclear bomb, wouldn't that be kind of chaotic?

  • Go Gucker Go!
