Important info re pls read –  Tips for 16 Azar (December 7th) protests throughout Iran

16 Azar street protests are another big test for the green movement. After the suppression of protests on 13 Aban, expectations are for a decreased turnout of 16 Azar protestors. According to the news received, Mr. Mousavi, Karroubi and Khatami are preparing to be among the students. After consultation with several hundred active members of the green movement, the following points have been collated to help ensure the success of 16 Azar protests:

The authorities are trying to limit all protest and organising attempts by students, and have marshalled their efforts to suppress street protests and prevent people from joining. Forces are expected to position themselves heavily around Tehran University. To neutralize this tactic, an appropriate solution is holding protests dispersed in different areas. Streets near the university can be a meeting place to start scattered protests. Away from the University, you can gather in the streets and chant together. Although the green movement is building in strength, verbal violence and revenge is not sought through slogans. Both slogans and protests should be peaceful.

According to information received, instead of shooting, beating or detention, security forces plans to quickly disperse protests. To deal with this:
First: It is recommended that all join queues for public transport, as soon as entering the street, and refuse to be sent away or moved.
Second: Avoid all areas close to main roads and highway. Gathering in the streets and crowded pedestrian and shopping areas is the best way of increasing crowd population and prevent dispersal.
Third: If you are at a one-way street, only enter the street against the flow of traffic. If a one-way street is unusually empty, this probably means that the end is closed by officers and you should not enter.

According to additional information received, they want police activities exaggerated and to use traffic control cameras, to intimidate citizens with threat of fines and identification. There is no doubt that accurate identification of a population of millions, if possible, would not yield any benefit, because the arrest and prosecution of such a large population is not possible. However, it is necessary and useful to use masks to hinder identification attempts as well as guard against the possible use of tear gas.

Green traffic protests with private cars, blocking the routes of the repression forces, is one of the useful and effective methods for supporting demonstrators. All people unable to participate in street protests for any reason, can help their fellow citizens in this way.

The chanting of Allah Akbar, not only as a symbol of the government being anti-religious, but to the media and all Iranian as a symbol of solidarity and unity, from every nation and religion. All citizens can use this symbol of solidarity, and it is aslo important to advance the movement, and gain media attention. Thus all the green movement activists and supporters are reminded to remember to call Allah Akbar on the evening of Sunday, 15 Azar. Even if for any reason you are not able to participate in the protests, with the cry of Allah Akbar you become part of the movement in spirit.

As with all previous activities, you are the media. The world is watching.
