Support the Iranian people, oppose Tehran's clerical fascism

http://www.redpepper.org.uk/Support-the-Iranian-people-opposeDate Written: 2009-02-09 Publisher: Red Pepper Year Published: 2009 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX9540 Tragically, the leadership of the UK and US anti-war movements have been sleep-walking into making the same mistakes over Iran as they made over Iraq. They are silent about the regime's despotism and oppression. Mirroring the neo con indifference to human rights abuses in Iran, they refuse to show solidarity with the Iranian peoples' struggle for secularism, democracy, social justice, human rights and self-determination for national minorities. There is nothing remotely left-wing about this is sad and cruel betrayal. Put bluntly: it is collusion with tyranny. Subject Headings |
