February 11th is known as Victory of the Revolution Day – equivalent to the Fourth of July in the United States; it is meant to symbolize liberty, independence and freedom. Instead, it only reminds us of how far Iran has to go in its progress toward human rights.Just weeks ago, two men became the "fall guys" for the post-Presidential election violence that consumed the streets of Iran last summer and were hanged as punishment. Now the lives of 9 more men hang in the balance based on similarly outrageous charges.
We are asking everyone to show their solidarity online this week – whether it's on your blog, website, or social networking profile – for all the people at risk of human rights abuses in Iran. Help us raise the voices of those calling for freedom and justice inside Iran.
