ITP WORLD APOCALYPSE: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL URGE ACTION AGAINST IRANIAN POLICE BRUTALITY

Amnesty International has urged direct action to petition IRAN against the police brutality during the protests against the election this week. Check out AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL a link to my journal on the RIGHT hand side. I must have spent mucho time on AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL letter writing campaigns during the 80's . PLEASE do sign this petition to STOP the police brutality and to assure the right to freely assemble, protest, to free all political prisoners, and journalists whom are detained in IRAN.

Iranian authorities must refrain from using excessive violence against those protesting against the recent election results
Take Action On This Issue

Since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner in the June 12 elections in Iran, there have been widespread protests against the contested election results. The Iranian authorities have responded with violence and repression. Reports indicate that large numbers of people were severely beaten by riot police and that several people have been fatally shot Furthermore, over 100 people are reported to have been arrested, including the brother of former President Mohammad Khatami. Amnesty International is concerned that those detained may be subjected to torture and ill-treatment. The Iranian authorities have attempted to stop the flow of information both among Iranians and from Iranians to those outside by blocking cell phone communication, text messaging and email. Amnesty International is also concerned that the protests, which have already drawn massive crowds in Tehran and other cities in Iran, may be met with increased levels of violence by Iranian authorities. AI calls for the authorities to exercise restraint in response to further demonstrations and to release all those who have been detained for peacefully expressing their opinions about the results of the election. It also calls for an end to restrictions on the right to freedom of expression and association, including the freedom to receive and impart information and ides.
(EDITORS NOTE-They are some very courageous Iranians out there, as the revolution may NOT be televised, but the revolution is on TWITTER. Aha, the power of the blogger.)
