Andrew Bostom & Alyssa Lappen write about a true Iranian reformer and his cohorts who are returning to Iran
Andrew Bostom & Alyssa Lappen: ” Pooya Dayanim is an intrepid lawyer, writer and human rights activist who served Muhammad Khataim a subpoena for his role in the torture and detention of innocent Iranian Jews, while the former Iranian President attended a Council on American Islamic Relations dinner in Arlington VA on September 8, 2006. Late Sunday July 5, 2009 Pooya sent me an e-mail conveying a remarkable press release from the secular Iranian Marze Por Gohar (MPG) Party..[named from the first line of Iran’s national anthem].”
“The press release announced that Roozbeh Farahanipour, a prominent leader of the July, 1999 Iranian student uprising, and other leaders and members of the MPG WERE RETURNING TO IRAN TO ORGANIZE DEMONSTRATIONS COMMEMORATING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF JULY 9TH.”
