Where Are You?

I am addressing all the human right activists, humanitarians, freedom fighters, politicians, decision makers, all people that say they support movements for freedom in the world, that they care about human rights, and democracy for all.

Where are you now?

Haven't you been watching the news on CNN? Iran has been headline of news for the past couple of days. It feels it has been going on forever. But still you are silent.

Don't you believe it? That's all I can think of it as with the advent of these new phones, I doubt that important people like you have not heard of this big news yet.

Mr. Chris De Burgh ... you traveled to Iran and mentioned how you liked Iranian people. Don't you think it is appropriate to voice your concerns over violence in Iran? Mr. Sean Penn, perhaps you can educate your fellow Hollywood stars about Iran and what is going on right now. If you raise your voice against violence in Iran, it will attract the attention of non -Iranians. It will make more and more people aware of torture in Iran and perhaps the international crowd can help.


As you all may remember, Iranians held a candle light vigil in Tehran in memory of all people who lost their lives in the tragic event of September 11th. Don't you think it is time to reciprocate the favor?

If in your heart, you consider yourself an advocate for human rights, we need your help. Right now. All we ask for now is to raise your voice in our support. To notify people around you. People in Iran need to see this action. To see that world supports them. It is at times of hardship and despair that support matters most.



Thanks for reading this piece.

Hi Khepeleh, have a look at this website http://evin-rosetta.persian-cat.de/that translates and publishes letters from political prisoners in Evin. I set it up about two years ago, but unfortunately there is little response in the world wide web.
We expected that with the dawn of the Internet the easy flow of information will always help to mobilize people against injustice. But my experience is that you get much more response in the web if you publish fashion pictures, cooking recipies or photographs or nice cats and dogs.
best regards, Michael
