ABSTRACT
Iranians were right to participate in a monumental manifestation of their collective democratic will, which lends legitimacy to nothing other than their political participation, as it is the indication of nothing other than their democratic maturity. Iran as a nation needs nothing but the active solidarity of ordinary people around the globe to be a witness to their struggles and demand from their media an accurate and comprehensive representation of their movement. The supporters of Mir-Hossein Mousavi and the Reformist movement come from a vast trajectory of Iranian society. The movement that he has led has been fortunately peaceful so far, except for at least 12 reported fatalities, perhaps more. The open expression of solidarity with the movement in multiple public domains will put it outside official control. They are rounding up the usual suspects of the reformist movement. But the movement must now become more universal.
