    Regardless of who won the election, regardless of race or beliefs, it is heartwarming to see so many people expressing their outrage at the violence being done by their own government to the people of Iran. I truly hope the violence ends soon.

    Your photograph is so powerful. Let’s hope today’s solidarity will be heard - all the Iranian people want is to vote and have that vote count. To be able to peacefully protest without violence. Let’s hope Amir will be released soon.

    I’m glad for your support. I’d like to make you aware of this video. Jump to 00:27:10 if you don’t like to watch the whole video. I think this is what most western countries deny but it is all connected.
