Editor’s note: In August El Tecolote will celebrate 50 years of providing independent community news bilingually to our readers. In honor of this anniversary, we plan to publish stories from our extensive archive periodically throughout 2020. And given the recent fallout from the Trump-ordered assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, we decided to kick off the year with a story from our February 1979 documenting the Iranian Revolution, written by Teco writer and longtime supporter, Pilar Mejía.
