JULY ALERT: Free Ali Akbar Moussavi - Statement by IFC

On March 18, 2006 (just before the Persian new year holiday of Norouz), a national coalition of American students united for The Iran Freedom Concert to raise awareness of the Iranian government's human rights abuses and express solidarity with Iranian students seeking to end these violations. The coalition is non-partisan and does not take a stance on US foreign policy. Rather, our message is simple: civil rights must be respected by any Iranian government, and freedom must become a reality for all Iranians.

The main Iran Freedom Concert event took place at Harvard, and other campuses across US also marked the date. See photos and video from the Harvard event. Representatives of diverse campus groups spoke between musical performances, highlighting civil rights restrictions in Iran and celebrating the release that morning of one of Iran's leading dissidents, Akbar Ganji. Read our op-ed in the Harvard Crimson and browse links to prominent media/blog coverage.

Please take a minute to sign our petition in solidarity with the Iranian student movement.
