NIAC & Sattar
15-Nov-2012
1- Sattar Beheshti, a 35-year-old factory worker, was the sole breadwinner/caretaker of his elderly sick mother.
For his fact based weblog entries criticizing the regime in Iran, Sattar was arrested by the Cyber Police and within a week his badly tortured lifeless body was buried under the watchful eyes of the security goons.
2- As soon as the news reached the free world, condemnation of this senseless savagery began and has continued.
EU, U.S. and many organizations, particularly the ones focused on Iran, have saw fit to raise their voice against this gross violation of basic human rights. As of this writing, NIAC Lobby which claims it carries out the wishes of its Iranian-American members has chosen to stay silent.
Question:
For not immediately issuing even a one line official statement condemning the barbarism meted out to Sattar, are the dues paying Iranian-American members of NIAC Lobby crass and uncaring about the systematic violation of human rights in Iran, or NIAC’s claim of only doing what its members ask of it is just a fib?
What gives?
NIAC Lobby, respond!

JJ was Wrong!
by Faramarz on Thu Nov 15, 2012 08:28 AM PSTReading JJ's post and the comments below it reminded me of when Fonzie was trying to say that he was wrong. But the word was just not coming out!
Good for him to see the truth and make corrections.

NIAC, a Futuristic Organization!
by Faramarz on Thu Nov 15, 2012 05:43 AM PSTNIAC has clearly stated that it does not involve itself in the human rights issue or the type of government in Iran. Those are internal Iranian matters and as such NIAC stays out of commenting about the Iranians that are being detained, tortured and executed in Iran today.
However, as an organization that has an eye to the future, NIAC is always concerned about what may or may not happen in the future Iran. So its core mission is to constantly warn everyone about the possibility of the future violence in Iran by non-Iranian-government entities.
They also have some oil lobbyists as board members to make sure that they have a good grasp of the economic opportunities in Iran.
What gives?
by Demo on Thu Nov 15, 2012 03:53 AM PSTa damn thing in the world about responding from a bunch of elites self-serving boys & girls to a blogger who has never issued a single lline condemning the barbarism meted out to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Afghanis, Libyans, & you name it by the so called 'sane world' of his/her?
