SMCCDI (Urgent Action)
June 10, 2005

Dear Iranians, Dear Freedom Lovers,

The Islamic Republic (IR) regime has scheduled tens of illegal ballot boxes on the US soil. Such policy is nothing else than an illegal and desperate effort in order to legitimize its sham Presidential elections planned for June 17, 2005. Lacking of inside popular support and legitimacy, clerics are hoping that any outside participation can become an additional propaganda tool and an exchange token for their political survival that can give them a higher hand in their foreign negotiations.

Millions of enchained Iranians have already declared their firm intention to boycott such new masquerade and have shown their deep rejection of the theocratic regime. Despite all dangers, Iranians have sized many occasions, such as, the last soccer game, played between Iran and Bahrain, in order to riot against dictatorship and tyranny, and to send a clear message that "they don't want an Islamic republic !".

This year, more than ever, there is a moral duty and an urgency to protest against clerics new demagoguery and illegal activities.

As most of you are aware, since the dark and shameful episode of the 1979 US Embassy's hostages, there are no diplomatic relations between the United States of America and the terrorist regime in Iran. In addition, due to the US sanctions against the IR regime, it's against US regulations for the clerical leadership to deploy its agents on the US soil. IR's officials and its registered agents deployed in New York (at the United Nations) and in Washington DC (at IR's Interest Section in the Embassy of Pakistan) are prohibited to travel beyond a certain limited area (in NY no more than 12 miles and in WDC not past 25 miles of their offices). But according to the IR's laws any ballot box has to be monitored by a regime official representative. Therefore it's both against the US regulations and the IR's laws for any such voting stations to be set up throughout the U.S.

The IR regime, knowing that its activities are illegal with regard to the hoax presidency elections, has begun distributing mailed flyers urging Iranians of 16 years and older to vote. Some Iranians who are fearing for their families or are afraid to be forbidden from traveling to Iran or still have some assets in their motherland are thinking to have been forced by this way to participate in these so-called elections. It is of a deep concern that the US Postal Office has given such blackmailing power to the renegade IR regime as a permit for sending bulk mail should be normally against the existing US sanctions.

IR's official website, listed on the mailed flyers and set for this new masquerade ( www.election1384.com ), is already listing US, cities, such as, Oklahoma City (OK), Cleveland and Columbus (OH), Chicago (IL), Scottsdale (AZ), Philadelphia (PA), Nashville (TN), Atlanta (GA), Tampa (FL), Denver (CO), Boston (MA), Potomac and Baltimore (MD), St. Louis (MO), Jackson (MS), East Lansing and Detroit (MI), Minneapolis (MN), Ft. Lee and Tinek (NJ), Manhattan (NY), Manassas (VA), Washington (DC), Milwaukee (WI), San Francisco/Oakland and San Jose and Ontario and Orange County/Irvine dale and Downy and San Diego (CA), Houston (TX).

The IR leadership is planning to announce up to 40 US cities in which ballot boxes will be organized and where IR regime's agents will be deployed. Their 'election' website has been registered by one of their agents named Rajabali Hassanain who's the webmaster of the IR Interest Section in WDC ( www.daftar.org ) and who's also a responsible for a commercial web hosting company named www.netsitecorp.com.

Some of the IR ballot boxes will, most likely, be set up in different hotels where certain regime's operatives have reserved meeting rooms under false pretences. Others will be set up in cultural or religious buildings financed or linked indirectly and at some degree to the IR regime. Some of these organizations are believed to benefit also of the US Charities Tax Exempt Status which forbid their use for political purpose.

Such alarming facts should bring the US authorities, such as, the White House, the Department of State, the Office of Homeland Security and The FBI to react and to insure security and respect of law. In that line, a joint public letter, endorsed by Aryo B. Pirouznia of SMCCDI, Roxanne Ganji of IRIC and Roozbeh Farahanipoor of Marzeporgohar has already been sent to the US authorities. The letter dated May 26, 2005 was pointing to the illegal facts and the dangers posed to Iranians and Americans due to the deployment of tens of IR agents on the US soil and the illegality of these so-called ballot boxes.
