THEY LOCKED THE WORLD OUTSIDE

"THEY LOCKED THE WORLD OUTSIDE and throw the key away and they called a REVOLUTION"

You have probably heard the name of the Islamic Republic in the media. But I have lived in this political regime. I was born, raised, studied and worked in this system. All the social classes I have encountered have been either critical of this regime or opposed to it. For more than 40 years, the Western media has been waiting for the fall of this regime, or the people I know are repeating the repetitive words of the Western media. But this year, as in previous years, this political regime celebrated the anniversary of its founding and revolution.

But this time, instead of watching this celebration from the media, I decided to attend it as a photographer.

Here, regardless of my political views, I will tell you a short story behind a few photos. And finally, I will ask you some questions that arose for me in this march. And I will tell the Iranian leaders in a few key Aegean keys

"I'm on this bolivar to show It's been long long hard days(Shah regime) so lets brings light to the home ( with celebrating 1357 Revolution )"

he told me his reasons of why he is here but my Question is simple :

if you trying to brings lights to the home, why the backroad of the leader of Revolution picture are black? I mean pleas take a look at details of what you hold as picture?

Palestine is an integral part of the Islamic world. Our revolution is the key supporter of the liberation and freedom of the Palestinians from the apartheid regime of Zionism.

He told me that and left me to enjoying and attended the celebration, but if he was here because he car about liberation and freedom; so why the man with sunglass was watching and chasing me?

I am an Iranian citizen and I am photographing with a license.?The right to liberty and freedom is not one of my citizenship rights in this country.

He was a soldier and served in the police. He was one of the members of the choir in formal clothes, where they were officially performing revolutionary songs.

He was sitting behind the crowd for ten minutes while performing his official duties at a ceremony whose main motto is; "we stand to the end"

I asked him why he was sitting here in the middle of the official ceremony and he gave me a simple but important answer.

Tired of performing ceremonies, we are the police force, not the entertainers for the people.

He told me that patriotism is born with a human being and that this is an Iranian celebration to celebrate patriotism

As is clear from the crowd, he is right:

The masses of people obey their rulers and this country belongs to them.
