Iranian Students Call for Mass Demonstration in Tehran to Support Egyptian People

Ed. Note:  We received the following call from the Union for Advancement of Secular Democracy in Iran (UASDI). MHI members had demonstrated against the executions and torture of Iranian dissidents along with UASDI and other Iranians in Times Square, New York, on Jan. 29, an international day of condemnation of the Iranian regime. We wore black tape across our mouths and carried photos of jailed Iranians labeled “in imminent danger of execution”–some of whom had already been killed. The pictures were heart-breaking, yet one young Iranian woman told us, “Iranians have hope when they see what is going on in the Middle East.”
