Iran Solidarity

David T over at Harry’s Place blog has drawn my attention to this post from “habibi”. I’m happy to endorse the message.

“This Thursday is the tenth anniversary of the brutal repression of students in Iran.

Today a new round of repression is underway in Iran.Here is something you can do about it. An anniversary demonstration at the Iranian embassy in London is scheduled for this Thursday, starting at 6 PM. Please wear green and come along to 16 Prince’s Gate, SW7. The nearest Tube station is South Kensington.The only point – and I hope this leads other British bloggers to echo this call – is to show solidarity with the Iranian people. In fact, as one Iranian exile tells me, people who “come selling newspapers and lecturing the people on what they should do” are not wanted. “Just join and express solidarity”, the exile says. Please come.”

Meanwhile, Iranian state TV presenter Yvonne Ridley is apparently under pressure from “Zionists” to resign from Press TV.
