Good Morning Tehran! - Iran

May 2005
Iranian exiles in the US are harnessing the power of the media to provoke regime change back home. Through uncensored satellite broadcasts they hope to encourage the masses to rise.

Zia Atabay was once a famous pop star in Iran. Now, he's pouring his money into his own personal TV station to send his message back home. "I know the Iranian government is dangerous," he states. By publicising dire images of the regime's misdeeds, he hopes to bring about change. Other satellite broadcasters are using more subtle methods to bring down the government. Dancing girls, pop music and fashion videos are all banned in Iran but lapped up by a hungry young audience. "Viewers want to see what they don't have. They want to see young people's lives in Western countries," explains TV presenter Luna Shadzi. Cultural freedom may prove more powerful than all the political propaganda.

Marg bar Ahmedinejad!

[alonsomaldonado]

Iranians have worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of their freedom. Iranians will not let their country down and I will not let themeless down.

FREE IRAN!!!

@jeem133 This traitor worships the creation and not the Creator. He lives in a bigger house than Ahmadinejad and he still complains? Traitor Kafur.

@jeem133 alhamdulila I am sick of living in a country where gay men can be legally married, whores dressed in miniskirts drunk and stoned on drugs.No family values or respect for God Allah Subhannah Wa Ta'ala or the one who can only be called the saviour of all mankind, our beloved Prophet. Ala huma sali ala Muhammad wa aley Muhammad,Assalaamu allaykum ahlad-diyaari minal Mu' -mineea wal-Muslimeena wa innaaa in shaa'Allahu bikum laahiqun. Nas- 'alullaaha lanaa wa lakum- 'aafiyah.
