RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS
Mohsen Sazegara in his Thursday update indicated that:
- We have to put as much effort possible in holding the funeral ceremony of Dr. Alimohammadi.
- The strike of the workers of the Avangan-e-Arak factory continues as a response to the inability of the Ministry of Energy in buying the products of this factory. This problem also exists for other factories that sell their products to the government.
- In the newsletter called "The Green Strike" published by the students of the Technical School of the University of Tehran, it was announced that unless the imprisoned students are released, other students will not attend the exams.
- In the demonstrations of the 22nd of Bahman (the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution) the Green Movement will move in the paths announced by the regime. These vast moves will confuse the regime. In the case that the regime uses military forces the movement can use eggs or colored baloons against them.
- The prople of Kurdistan must pressure the government to prevent the execution of Farzad Kamangir with various actions such as closing the shops. The movement in other provinces must support the Kurds.
- Non-violent resistance does not necessarily require a carismatic leader and other examples in the world confirm this fact.

Mohsen Sazegara in his Friday update indicated that:
- The funeral of Dr. Alimohammadi was held in the presence of security forces and plain-clothes militia and they tried to capture this martyr of the movement.
- When the regime pressues the students by threatening, failing in courses, expelling and imprisoning, our victory reqires unity and resistance. One also has to consider that the regime will try to creat divisions, threaten and capture the activists.
- Ms. Fatemeh Goodarzi has also refained to participate in the Fajr Film Festival as a referee. We have to thank those artists that support the people and expose those who cooperate with the regime.
- Broadcasting the program called "The Path Towards Tomorrow" from Channel 3 counts as a victory for the movement and we have to welcome it. The regime thinks that by relatively opening the political environment and raising some of the opposition viewpoints on TV as a replacement for demonstrations it can calm down the people and ask for forgiveness. However, history shows that this believe is not correct. The people who are invited to this program must use the regime tools in order to raise the movement's voice.
- There exists a fear of protest in the Oil Company and the related companies due to their inability to pay the salary of the contractors.
- In response to the question "Will the regime be satisfied with non-violent resistance?", I have to say: non-violent resistance does not merely have one moral advantage. We can make them surrender and fail using non-violent resistance, which is more powerful than any other method.

In his video broadcasts on Saturday, Mohsen Sazegara mentioned the following points:
- As some of the mourning mothers were arrested last week, it is very important that from now on we also try to join them on Saturday evenings.
-Some [Green] fellows visit the graves of the martyrs of the Green movement and take photos and videos as they salute them. We should keep in mind that [as they rightfully do], documenting our activities is one of the most important components of the Green Movement.
- Most workers are under serious financial burdens, we should remember that the Green Movement should always support [workers and] Labor Unions.
- Since the main server used for sending and receiving text messages is controlled by IRGC, it might be possible for them to monitor the contents of transmitted text messages; however when millions of text messages are sent all at once, it is very difficult to scan and monitor all of them even with the aid of highly sophisticated technologies; however you should keep in mind that phone calls and text messages should NEVER be used for transmitting confidential messages and sensitive information. Email messages are much safer; especially if you are using GMAIL, you can enjoy an enhanced level of security [due to the default usage of https protocol by GMAIL).
- By posting the slogan "Today in Tehran, tomorrow in Beijing" on twitter, some Chinese youngsters have showed their solidarity with Iranian youth.
- The Regime is trying to implement a 'carrot-and-stick' policy by widespread arrest of political dissidents on one hand and airing live TV debates on the other hand. [University] students can use this opportunity and organize debates on college campuses. If the Regime cracks them down- and I think that's what they are mostly likely to do- the real intentions of the Regime will be exposed. Note that all tactics attempted by the Regime will be in vain after millions of people come to streets for February 11 protests.
- Two points: First, those of you who can organize protests in your hometown on February 11 should definitely do that since such protests will make the Regime to scatter its resources nationwide [which will in turn decrease their clampdown capabilities]. However if you are unable to protest in your own town or city, you should try to go to Tehran or other large cities and join the protests there. Secondly some fellows think that 'civil disobedience' works very slowly in throwing out the coup government, however this is not true and [as several historic examples show us] civil disobedience works much faster than armed and violent struggles.
