Voices for Iran

Call upon the international community to support human rights in Iran [remember this includes women’s rights] and reject the policies of military aggression and economic starvation. Say no to torture, killings, and rape. Say yes to freedom of speech and assembly. End the show trials. Free all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, and hold the real criminals accountable. Remember Neda and Sohrab, and all the victims of state violence. Oppose war and economic sanctions.
