Iranian of the Day

Amnesty International: In Iran, students continue to face egregious forms of repression and human rights abuses, as the Iranian authorities attempt to exert control over students opposed to their policies. Those who dare speak out do so at great risk and with devastating consequences. Majid Tavakkoli and Bahareh Hedayat are two student leaders who were arrested after they participated in demonstrations calling for social and political reforms. Now, as they languish behind bars in prison, it is time to stand up for their rights and the rights of all student prisoners in Iran. * Demand the release of student leaders in Iran, * View and upload Azadi Square solidarity pictures, * Add a message of support to our message board >>> (more than 13,000 signatures so far)
