He is giving a speech in Vali Asr square (http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/tv/2009/01/000000_ptv_live_s.shtml)

He just said the liberal democracies do not represent people, and they destroy human values and moral values.

It's mother's day in Iran.

Motherfucker. I want to punch him in the face.

He just said:

He just said:

This sends three message to the world (sic) regarding this election
1. First message is... people of Iran are awake... will defend their rights.
2. Second message is... 40 million voters of Iran, with same hearts, same minds, are ready to move Iran forward.
3. The other message is... the government of Iran after 30 years... is stronger ... regarding the values of the revolution... justice, and standing against oppression and corruption.
