Worldwide Rallies Condemn Iran’s Treatment of Opposition Protesters
-------------------------------------------------------------------



Protests were held in over eighty cities Saturday calling on the Iranian
government to release all opposition activists arrested after last
month’s disputed presidential election. In New York, Navid Hazeghi
helped organize the protest.

Navid Hazeghi: “The goal today is to ask from the United Nations to send
a delegation in Iran and investigate the crimes and the violations of
human rights that took place in Iran in the protests after the vote of
the 12th of June.”
