JOIN IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF IRAN!

PROTEST

WHERE: Westwood Federal Building

WHEN: Sunday July 6

TIME: All afternoon

For the past few weeks Iranian students and people from all over Iran have been standing up against the Oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran and demanding democracy and freedom!

In a country where protesting is not allowed, this is one of the bravest acts and struggle for freedom. Iran's prosecutor general, Abdolnabi Namazi finally admitted after lying about it that over 4,000 people have been arrested during just ONE MONTH of violent anti-regime, pro-democracy protests.

On SUNDAY JULY 6, 2003 you can join with thousands of other Iranians both in Iran and in exile along with activists all over the world in protest the fourth anniversary of a July 9, 1999 attacks on Tehran University dormitories by pro-clerical militants. Those attacks killed one student, injured at least 20 others and triggered six days of nationwide anti-government protests.

SUNDAY JULY 6, 2003 is also the International day of solidarity and support for all students and people of Iran who are CURRENTLY waging to break free from the oppressive government that has been holding them down since 1979.. The People of Iran are tired, and waking up. So many are being taken in and killed due to speaking out, yet the protestors vow to continue. Yet Authorities have banned any marches to commemorate the raid. And say \"An incident took place a few years back and there is no necessity to mark the anniversary,\" Students have vowed to defy the ban and warned that their accumulated wrath was about to explode and say \"We are here to protest the very inappropriate arrests of students, with guns pointed at our throats by unidentified agents, including some students who were not part of recent protests,\"

Student organizations in Iran have asked that people all over the world join with them on July 6 and show solidarity in their struggle. Even if you don’t live in Iran you can hold a vigil or protest where you live with your friends.

If you live in Los Angeles, a large protest will be held at
