As happens in the news, no matter the gravity of the event, a new, more marketable story begins to replace older stories on the front pages. Unfortunately, in this case, the “older story” happens to be the suppression, beating and killing of Iranians who have taken to the streets over the past two weeks, simply asking for a fair election.
As domestic news agencies find an easy story in the recent Governor Sanford saga, the unflinching and unapologetic violence rages on in the streets of Tehran. Take a moment to listen to an unnerving account of a young Iranian woman who joined the call to restore democracy in Iran.
Show your support for those who are standing up in Iran for their rights.
