"Please Join Us:

Iran Peace and Freedom Caravans will begin to assemble together in the morning of Wednesday, September 24 at:

Dag Hammarsskjold Plaza, First Ave. and 47th St., Manhattan, New York

We will join together again on Thursday, September 25 in the a.m. and will join the rallies on that day.

Please look for banners saying Peace and Freedom Caravans for Iran. Caravans are encouraged to have signs indicating Peace and Freedom Caravans for some of their banners.

We respect all Iranians who seek freedom, democracy and human rights for an independent Iran. We strongly condemn Ahmadinejad and the despotic theocracy suppressing Iranian people. We call for an end to theocracy and the establishment of a parliamentary secular democracy in Iran. We demand the immediate and unconditional release and freedom of all political prisoners. We call on the United Nations to appoint a special rapporteur to investigate widespread human rights abuses in Iran."


Please join the Caravans in New York and sign the petition:

"We, the signatories of this statement, declare our solidarity and support for the Iranian people in their struggle for democracy and human rights and voice our opposition to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s expected presence at the United Nations annual gathering. To this end, our caravans will gather in New York City on September 23 and 24 to witness and affirm our solidarity with our fellow compatriots before the world body. In as much as human rights are a matter of global necessity, we ask all world citizens who believe in and seek freedom for themselves and others to join us in our just cause. Together we will demand the immediate release of all political prisoners and call on the United Nations to establish a special rapporteur to investigate widespread human rights abuses in Iran."

The Petition.
