In the Name of God
Noble and vigilant people of Iran,
In the past few days, Seda & Sima, governmental news agencies, some governmental newspapers, internet sites close to the government, and Kayhan newspaper, have dedicated a substantial portion of their coverage to inverting the truth about what happened before, during, and after the tenth presidential elections in Iran. Using resources that belong to you, they not only have attempted to hide the recent heart wrenching events, but have tried to portray their direct and indirect organizers as those who have helped you in demanding your rights.
The reality that they foolishly try to ignore is that in this election a massive fraud has taken place, and those who later objected were attacked in an inhumane manner, killed, injured, or detained. Had those responsible for the murders of Kooy-e Daneshgah on 18 Tir 1378 been confronted under the law and in an appropriate manner, today we wouldn’t have to bear witness to the same type of tragedies on a larger scale, and wouldn’t have to hear the truth being bent in a more brazen fashion.
It’s the same people that still, by relying on resources that belong to the people, and in support of the interests of their own groups, continue to create dossiers for others, lie without hesitation, and attribute to me what they themselves are responsible for. What they fail to understand is that these well known tactics will not force Mousavi out of the scene. What took place in the past few days has targeted the fundamentals of the Islamic republic’s system which is our heritage from our beloved Imam and our noble martyrs, something that one cannot passively ignore, or surrender in response to these types of accusations or the under the threat of a trial.
Not only am I not worried about responding to these accusations, but I am ready to show how electoral criminals lined up next to the real culprits of the recent unrest, and spilled people’s blood, and now try to depict the scenes that have been witnessed by hundreds of people and tens of images, in a different light; I am ready to show how those whose actions are in line with creating havoc in the country, weakening the system, and in support of foreign interests, using the excuse of the destructive behavior of an unknown group, tried to depict your green movement as anarchist and dependent on foreign powers; but I am not ready to stop standing, even for a second, in the shadow of the green tree of restoring the rights of the people of Iran, that has been unjustly fed with the blood of the youth of this country. Of the total ballots cast in boxes, only one belongs to me, and you well know that their issue is with the fate of millions of votes cast that they have no answer for.

Mousavi's 6th Statement to the Iranian People
06-21-2009
In the name of God the Compassionate the Merciful
We belong to God, and to God we will return. [Koranic quote]
The heart-rending news of the martyrdom of another group of protesters to the widespread rigging of the recent elections has plunged our society into disbelief and mourning. Shooting at people, the militarization of the city, intimidation, incitement, and display of power are all illegitimate children of the severe bypassing of the law that we are currently endangered by. It is intriguing that those who cause this situation are blaming others for it. I would like to inform those who call people lawbreakers for expressing their views that the big lawbreaking is the government's ignoring and explicit contravention of Article 27 of the constitution in issuing permit for peaceful gatherings. Should the revolutionary people who, with similar gatherings, saved you & us from the forgotten hellhole of the Shah's past tyranny be beaten up, injured, threatened, and challenged to confrontation.
As a fellow mourner I keep inviting the dear people to self-control. This country belongs to you. The revolution and regime is your heritage. Protesting to deception and fraud is your right. Hope for reclaiming your rights and don't let your anger be stirred by those who endeavor to intimidate you and take your hope away. Keep committed to avoiding violence in your protests and act towards the security forces like parents do to children's deviant behaviors. Meanwhile I expect the military forces and the police not to let the memories of these days irreversibly damage their relationship with the people. That the names and descriptions of the martyrs, the injured, and the arrested is not given to their families and they are kept in the dark does not have any benefits for establishing calm and it only stirs emotions. Also mass arrests that only cause a loss of authority and respect between the military and police "children" and the body of society.
I ask God on high for mercy and highest ranks for these dear martyrs and I wish patience and reward for their bereaved families.
