Dear All,

At the request of Mr. Mousavi and Karrubi, hundreds of thousands of people turned up to participate in the funeral of the Grand Ayatollah Hussein Ali Montazeri who passed away on Sunday. Ayatollah Montazeri parted ways with the [...]

Dear All,
This window is dedicated to the brave Iranian students who came out today on Students Day in large numbers to make it clear that their protests to the June general election, and the way it has been handled by the government, are far from over. With security forces everywhere, including the entrance to hospitals, [...]

Dear All,

I hope you are well. I have not sent you a window in a long time. This is not because in Iran the opposition has stopped its efforts or some of the issues have been resolved. As you see from this window, neither of these is the case. The delay is merely the result [...]

Dear All,

I hope you are well. Some of you have forwarded Iran related information to me with a hint of “where is window 96?” And some have outright asked! It is so good to know that you are anticipating these windows. It has been a busy time in the semester.

Let us open window 96 [...]

Amidst rumors that Iranian universities may remain closed to prevent the students from contributing to further protests (the government suggested swine flue as the reason), they actually opened today. And so did the student protests. Click here to see a slide show of these lively demonstrations posted on the web a few hours ago: [...]

Dear All,

All signs point to the fact that difficult – and decisive – days may be ahead in Iran. But the good news first. For years, Iranians who are ranked as number four bloggers in the world, have been prevented from visiting the sites that the Iranian government has considered containing information contrary to its [...]

Dear All,

Thank you all so much for your kind and encouraging messages. As you see, I have slowed the pace of these updates. This is not because the opposition to the election in Iran has dissipated. Rather it has moved to a new stage by expanding its horizons beyond the election results and to a [...]

A young friend returning from Iran recently reported that an amazingly high percentage of people continue to wear green wristbands on a daily basis. Strangers passing by on the street, make “V” signs for victory, smile, and carry on with their daily activities. According to her, the nightly chants continue, and despite the pressures [...]
