Hundreds of Journalists Detained in Iran

A huge crackdown against journalists has been taking place over the past few weeks in Iran. even reporting anti-government protests has become a crime. People are disappearing all the time. Many families do not even know where their loved ones have been taken, all the know is they have gone.

Please sign the petition for their immediate release and to say no the crushing of freedom of press in Iran.

Iran: What Lies Ahead - Next Campaign Iran meeting


IRAN: WHAT LIES AHEAD?
THE MOVEMENT, SANCTIONS & THE WEST

The exciting, powerful and determined resistance movement, which emerged during last summer’s election fall-out, has created one of the most serious political crises in Iran since the revolution of 1979. And it refuses to go away. Meanwhile, Western leaders talk of increasing sanctions, repeating hypocritical accusations of Iran’s nuclear programme.

Campaign Iran invites you to discuss the challenges ahead for the movement, and how best we can lend support to its potential success, without the interference from foreign powers.

With:

Ali Ansari, Professor of Iranian History at the University of St Andrews

Ali Fathollah-Nejad, Political Scientist & Lecturer in Globalization and
Development, University of Westminster

Lindsey German, Convenor of the Stop the War Coalition

Wednesday 3rd February 7:30pm
