Roozbeh Farahanipour returns to Iran. Under Farahanipour's leadership, the Marze Por Gohar Party led the pro-democracy movement in July, 1999. The Iranian journalist, democracy activist was a  former political prisoner in Iran. The Ministry of Intelligence declared the Marze Por Gohar an "illegal Party," and called Farahanipour "one of the leaders of the unrest", he was subsequently arrested and tortured.

Check out the interview with Farahanipour here.

A key leader of the 1999 student uprising that shook the Islamist
regime in Iran returned to Iran clandestinely this week, and plans to
lead a nationwide protest on Thursday.

Roozbeh Farahanipour, 37, was jailed for several months in 1999
for his role in the protests and was tortured extensively. But that
hasn’t deterred him from going to back to his homeland.

“These are momentous times,” he told Newsmax shortly before
leaving the U.S. for his secret journey to Iran. “After 10 years, I am
fulfilling my dream.”

The postelection protests of the past several weeks “have
already succeeded in crippling half of the regime,” he said. “They can
no longer work together, no longer trust each other. Our job is to help
cripple the other half as well.”

If Farahanipour can successfully elude Iran’s secret police,
Thursday’s protests will be the first time that a political figure who
has gone into exile has ever returned to lead a demonstration against
the Islamic regime.

Farahanipour, who founded the Marze Por Gohar (Glorious
Frontiers Party) in 1998, wants to see a secular, democratic government
emerge from the current turmoil in Iran.

“This Thursday is my demonstration,” he said. “It is not
Mousavi’s event. It is the 10th anniversary of the 1999 student
uprising.”

Farahanipour says the time for any pretense of reforming the regime
is over. “People are shouting, ‘Death to the Dictator,'” he said. “The
regime lost all international credibility. Only 15 countries have sent
messages of congratulations to Ahmadinejad after the elections. The
first to support him were Hamas and Hezbollah.”

Now is not the time to reassure the regime, but to confront it, he believes.

Already, regime intelligence agents been on the lookout for
Farahanipour, and scoured the area near Busheir, where Iran’s nuclear
power plant is located, when rumors circulated that he was in the
vicinity earlier this week.
