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

WHERE: Westwood Federal Building

WHEN: Sunday July 6

TIME: All afternoon

WHY: see above ļ

This even if being put on by various Iranian support

groups from all over CA, they do not represent any one

ideology and ALL are welcome

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE

FOR A FREE IRAN

FOR A JUST IRAN

GIVE THE CHOICE BACK TO THE PEOPLE
