To: Warner Bros. Picture Company
Cc: Zack Snyder (director)
Dear Warner Bros. Picture Company,
We the undersigned, through this letter, protest your irresponsible, unethical and unscientific actions.
This letter is in concern of making the movie, 300 by your company, which, according to all historical documents, is fraudulent and distorted, and its broadcast guarantees the violation of undeniable international legal rights.
It is a proven scholarly fact that the Persian Empire in 480 B.C was the most magnificent and civilized empire. Established by the Cyrus the great, the writer of the first human right declaration, Persians ruled over significant portions of Greater Iran, the east modern Afghanistan and beyond into central Asia; in the north and west all of Asia Minor (modern Turkey), the upper Balkans peninsula (Thrace), and most of the Black Sea coastal regions; in the west and southwest the territories of modern Iraq, northern Saudi-Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, all significant population centers of ancient Egypt and as far west as portions of Libya. Having twenty nations under control, encompassing approximately 7.5 million square kilometers, unquestionably the Achaemenid Empire was territorially the largest empire of classical antiquity.
Based on the Zoroastrian doctrine, it was the strong emphasis on honesty and integrity that gave the ancient Persians credibility to rule the world, even in the eyes of the people belonging to the conquered nations (Herodotus, mid 5th century B.C). Truth for the sake of truth, was the universal motto and the very core of the Persian culture that was followed not only by the great kings, but even the ordinary Persians made it a point to adhere to this code of conduct.
We did not expect Warner Bros. Picture company, as one of the world's largest producers of film and television entertainment to ignore the proven obvious historical facts, and damage its own reputation by showing the Persian army at the battle of Thermopylae as some monstrous savages, and thus create an atmosphere of public mistrust in its content, and hurt the national pride of the millions of Persians while doing so.
While announcing our disgust at such a heresy, we demand an immediate historical review and quick apology from the responsible people.
Sincerely,

To: Warner Brothers Studios, 4000 Warner Blvd, Burbank, CA 91522
Your new movie called “300” opening on March 9th in theatres all over the United States and based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller portrays the battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fight against Xerxes and his Persian army. Upon seeing the previews of this movie, it immediately becomes apparent that apart from the actual names used in it, the entire depiction of this battle is based upon fantasy. Nowhere among the historical data that remains of the time of Xerxes and ancient Persian empires, do we come across any reference that shows those kings and soldiers as monsters with body-piercing, armors, facial features and demonic behavior that seem to have sprung out from the dungeons of hell. The inaccurate and derogatory depiction of ancient Persians that according to all historical data conducted warfare with mastery and dignity, and looked nothing like science-fictional monsters, is a depiction of how movie studios and authors sacrifice historical accuracy for would-be profits.
The author Frank Miller and Warner Brothers Studios should understand that distorting historical data is unethical, and so is feeding ignorance to viewers and readers. Fantasy-like characters should not have names that are based on actual historical figures. Xerxes was one of the many revered and respected rulers of an ancient civilization the vestiges of which last to this day and are acknowledged by historians of all nations. He did not look like a creature out of a frightening bedtime story. Neither did his soldiers.
By all means depict important historical events, but take the trouble to visit a library and to do some research before you do so.
We, The Undersigned, consider the movie “300” an outrage and boycott it.
Sincerely,

I declare that
1) As I believe that the construction of Sivand Dam in Fars Province of Iran is a threat that would destroy those valuable historical sites of Bolaghi and Pasargad Plains that are now considered as cultural heritage of all humanity, and
2) upon the volunteered decision of Dr. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, the Iranian attorney, to register a class action suite against the responsible officials of Ministry of Energy and Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran with the local and international judicial authorities, on behalf of people who appoint him as their attorney,

To: Amnesty International,Reporters without Frontiers,Human Rights Watch,European Union
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
This is the second petition in support of Adnan Hassanpour and Hiwar Boutimar. The Text has been amended in an effort to improve the ease of read in English. We would like to thank all of you who signed the original and ask you to kindly revisit the petition and continue your support by signing this amended text.
URGENT ACTION
Join us to in condemning the death sentences for two civil and human rights activist in Iran
This petition is in protest to the death sentences issued to Adnan Hassanpour and Abdolvahed (Hiwa) Boutimar on 17 July 2007 by the Revolutionary Courts in Iran.
Adnan Hassanpour, an Iranian Kurdish journalist and a member of the editorial board for the banned weekly magazine Assu (banned in August 2005), was arrested and detained on 25 January 2007 without charge. He was held incommunicado and subjected to ill treatment and torture.
Hiwa Boutimar, an Iranian Kurdish civil rights activist and a founding member of an environmental NGO in Mariwan, was arrested on 17 December 2006. He, too, was held incommunicado and subjected to ill treatment and torture.
Both men were sentenced to death on 17 July 2007 on trumped up charge of Moharebeh (Enmity with God).
The Islamic Republic remains signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and bound by its articles. As such, it is legally bound to protect freedom of expression, assembly and equality before the law, and prohibit arbitrary detention, such as detention resulting from the exercise of one of these rights. It must also guarantee due process and humane treatment to those in detention. Therefore, the death sentences are in direct violations of Islamic Republic's international obligations.
Join us in condemning these outrageous sentences and demanding the immediate and unconditional release of these two men.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned |

Petition 49: Stay the Hands of the Murdering Mullahs

http://www.petitiononline.com/achat49/petition.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Individuals, Human Rights Organizations, and Governments
The life that God gives, no man should extinguish. The blood-thirsty mullahs presently ruling Iran blatantly violate this sacred covenant by executing large numbers of people ranging from petty criminals to political opponents. The mullahs and their mercenaries are wasting precious human life to maintain themselves in power through terrorizing the population.
Mass public hangings, as well as secret executions in prisons, are routine in the tyrannical Islamic Republic of Iran. Recently Majid Kavousifar, 28, and his nephew, Hossein Kavousifar, 24, were hanged for the alleged murder of a hard-line judge, Hassan Moghaddas, a mullah-judge notorious for jailing and condemning to death political dissidents. The victims were hanged from cranes and hoisted high above one of Tehran’s busiest thoroughfares. This “judge” had repeatedly bragged publicly that he often issued a death verdict without even examining the charges against the individual. The Islamic Republic of Iran has the dubious distinction of executing more children, those under the age of 18, than any other country in the world. Such is the plight of the Iranian people.
Robert Tait of The Observer reported on August 19, 2007 from Tehran that “Iran Hangs 30 Over ‘US Plots.’” Accusing political dissidents as being agents of the U.S. and hanging them without even a semblance of due process is a heinous crime that every descent human being should do all he/she can to end.
“Injustice anywhere is threat to justice everywhere,” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. warned us. Silence, complacency and indifference invariably play into the hands and schemes of tyrants. History is replete with cases of tyranny gathering momentum in the face of inaction by others, spreading far and wide and visiting great catastrophes on people.
We are also reminded by Albert Einstein, “The world is a dangerous place not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”
It is imperative that we do all we can, as individuals, organizations, and governments to stay the hands of the murdering mullahs in Iran, before their thirst for blood leads their campaign of oppression and death to the four corners of the globe.
We the petitioners demand:
* Immediate disbanding of capital punishment in the Islamic Republic of Iran and wherever else in the world this inhuman act is practiced.
* No summary judgments to be made about any accused without thorough and open trials with the fundamental assumption of innocence until proven otherwise.
* The authorities who issue death warrants of others must be held accountable for their actions.
Sincerely,
******************************************************

Petition 50: Nuclear Safety Warning in Iran – Accidents and Radiological Disaster In Progress

http://www.petitiononline.com/achat50/petition.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Honorable UN Secretary General, IAEA, Human Rights Organizations, Environmental Organizations, People Of The World
We are deeply concerned about consequences of various accidents within any of the Islamic regime's nuclear facilities. Even without any accidents, we doubt it if the regime has imposed enough safeguards for radiation workers or people living around nuclear facilities. The reason is that based on the research done on conferences and papers written in the fields of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) and nuclear safety in Iran, very few papers have addressed these subjects. Even those papers that addressed the subject of nuclear safety seemed to have addressed a specific issue rather than covering all aspects of nuclear safety or PRA. For example, one paper addressed the consequences of LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accidents) at Bushehr-1 NPP. However, there were no indications of studies for accidents scenarios initiated by external events, internal non-nuclear related explosions resulting in radiological contamination, Loss of Offsite Power (and Station Blackout), ATWS (Anticipated Transient without Scram) or secondary system failures, etc.
We are gravely concerned about the regimes programs for implementation and execution of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) in various nuclear facilities. The Islamic Republic regime has demonstrated no respect for human life especially Iranian life, Iranian natural resources or environment during the past 28 years. Last year the regime cut down ~10,000 trees around Lavizan facilities. Reports out of Iran indicated that the entire area was severely contaminated and the regime had to cut down trees and remove topsoil in order to hide this leak from the IAEA. In addition, great majority (if not all) of the equipment, from centrifuges to valves, pumps, etc. are purchased from Pakistan, India, China, N. Korea and at best from Russia. All these countries especially Russians are notorious with unreliable, high maintenance equipment (examples: refer to the recent problems with the Russian side of International Space Station, or low reliability of Chinese and Korean missiles, etc.). With the Islamic Republic regime's track record on maintaining Iranian passenger planes, these nuclear facilities are ticking time bombs.
We therefore demand that all the Islamic Republic’s nuclear activities (commercial or government related) be stopped immediately, until such time that the regime can prove and demonstrate that enough safety measures have been developed and implemented into the design, operation and maintenance of all nuclear facilities throughout Iran. Further the Islamic regime should demonstrate that contingency plans including mitigation of consequences of catastrophic initiating events (such as seismic events), evacuation and recovery measures are established and ready to be implemented.
Aside from the political agenda, the IAEA has a moral and humanitarian responsibility to regulate requirements and oversee activities that will assure health and welfare of the workers and citizens around nuclear facilities. We therefore challenge the IAEA to provide detail safety inspection on all Iranian nuclear facilities and publish quarterly progress reports.
Sincerely,

A petition to defend Mr. Bollinger, the president of Columbia University, against IRI's lobby groups and individuals
متن فارسی Persian Text
Mr. Lee C. Bollinger, the President of Columbia University, who told Ahmadinejad: "Mr. President, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator," and exposed the human rights violations of the Islamic Regime in Iran (IRI), has become under a vicious and orchestrated attack.
All lobby groups and individuals who work for the unconditional relations between the US (meaning Halliburton, GE, etc) and IRI, along some so called “progressives” who regard and defend Ahamdinejad as an “anti Imperialist”, have united their forces and are using all their resources to ridicule and discredit Mr. Bollinger. They are afraid that this may set a tone and start a trend to loosen their influence on American academia.
These reactionaries who are apologists for a dictatorship without any concern for human rights violations in Iran must be encountered by the Iranians who seek a secular democracy.
We are not judging Mr. Bollinger’s positions on all issues but he was right in what he did and said on the occasion of Ahamdinejad’s visit. Please sign this petition to defend him who had the courage to ignore the pressure of IRI’s apologists and tell the truth.

Petition 52: The people of Iran DO NOT recognise the Islamic Republic as their legitimate or rightful government or representative
Sign the Petition -
View Current Signatures
http://www.petitiononline.com/No2IR/petition.html
To: The whole world!
The people of Iran neither have a government or ruler, nor a parliament or a judiciary system!
The people of Iran consider the Islamic Republic as the plunderer of their Rights!
The people of Iran denounce and condemn any international negotiation or signed agreement between the Islamic Republic and ANY government, institution or establishment and consider these as blatant violation of their property and integrity!
The people of Iran DO NOT recognise the Islamic Republic as their legitimate or rightful government or representative because:
• Since clenching the power in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has plundered, looted and wasted all the national wealth of the Iranian people in the form of its natural resources and other means such as factories, workshops, agriculture and other established industries.
• The Islamic Republic of Iran has the legacy of in excess of 100,000 executions of its own freedom and peace loving people during its morbid existence.
• The Islamic Republic has vanquished and assassinated the opposition parties, organisations and individuals including the country’s best scholars, politicians, journalists, intellectuals and artists as well as students and other academic individuals. These have even taken place beyond the domestic borders and have been carried out within the international boundaries.
• The Islamic Republic has cultivated Socio-Economic chaos and crises in Iran and is the sole cause of the highest levels of poverty, unemployment, astronomical levels of inflation, drug abuse, prostitution, bribery, lawlessness, terror and other crimes induced by the regime’s economic, political and social policies.
• Every day, ordinary and freedom loving individuals are arrested and tortured in the dungeons of the Islamic Republic for demanding their BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.
The public executions and hangings have soared in the recent years and have taken new alarming levels.
• The Islamic republic is steering the country into another unwanted war and confrontation with the Western and the civilised world in order to spread its Clero-Fascist ideology and Islamic territorial expansionism and is threatening the world with a nuclear holocaust!
We, the undersigned, herby denounce and disown the Islamic Republic Regime and its government and any of its subordinates in its ENTIRETY and WARN ANY government, institution or establishment, whether public or private or in ANY representation, that:
1- The policy of appeasement with the Islamic Republic of Iran MUST be ceased immediately. This regime is neither capable of reform nor can it be trusted. The people of Iran have been betrayed time after time by this policy of appeasement by many governments and institutions. Hence, we say:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Stop supporting the Islamic Republic Regime!
Stop the policy of appeasement!
2- The people of Iran are the rightful owners of their country’s wealth and natural resources. Any agreement, contract, covenant or settlement reached and signed between the Islamic Republic of Iran and ANY of the above mentioned bodies will be treated as ILLEGAL and VOID.
3- The people of Iran treat such agreements and treaties as the blatant violation of their property and shall NOT honour ANY of their contents in the aftermath of the downfall of the Islamic Republic Regime.
4- ALL the clerical and non-clerical leaders and those accomplices serving for the protraction and the survival of this regime must be put on trial and brought to justice in an open International Court of Law for their crimes against humanity.
5- The so called “Economic Sanctions” imposed on Iran have no effect other than continuing the same economic relationships behind the scenes at more cost to the Iranian people and hence, inflicting more misery on the everyday life of the ordinary Iranian people. The political sanctions such as closing down the embassies and consular sections, banning of any State’s visits of ANY Iranian regime’s representative and in general, ceasing any economic-political engagement or relationship and cutting all diplomatic ties with the Islamic Republic regime is the only honourable and dignified response to the Islamic Republic of Iran by the free and the civilised world.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

TO: Prince Reza Pahlavi
We the undersigned, people of Iran and Iran lovers, would like to formally request you to rise to the challenge and take up the leadership of the people of Iran's movement for setting up a secular and democratic regime and to save our beloved homeland from further destruction and point of no return from the abyss that is awaiting her.
In most of your speeches and in your writings you have repeatedly mentioned that your ultimate goal is to see a democratic Iran, the country of your esteemed father and grandfather.
Iran is blessed with great many tribes, languages, colours and political ideologies. However who can deny that our country is now drowning in poverty, drugs, prostitution, religious dictatorship, bankruptcy, severe social injustice and international isolation.
There is also a grave danger of Iran being attacked militarily by outside forces and / or being split up into several smaller nations. It is in such dark days, that all Iran lovers must accept the responsibilities handed over to them by their forefathers and rise to the occasion to free their country.
Some of your supporters, and indeed many others may not be keen on parliamentary monarchy but believe in your sense of justice and democracy. Iranians have waited long enough for you to rise and lead them back to freedom, democracy and prosperity.
What ever the reasons may be for your reluctance to take the leadership role to unite the opposition, we simply urge you to please reconsider because in light of the dangers that are facing Iran today, we need you to lead the way and stand as the unifying force for the opposition.
For the vast majority of the people the current situation in Iran is intolerable. Before Iran is attacked and pushed back into the dark ages or fragmented into different states we request you, not as the leader of the monarchists or Shah of Iran but as a liberal thinker Iranian and one who is known and respected by many countries in the world to make a declaration and call all forces interested in a free, secular and democratic Iran to unite under one flag and make a push to free our beloved country.
Long Live Iran

شاهزاده رضا پهلوی :
ما امضا کنندگان نامه زیر که از میان ملت میهن دوست ایران برخاسته ایم ، رسما از شما درخواست کوشش هر چه بیشتر در پذیرش رهبری ملت ایران، برای رهایی از چالشی که در پیش رویشان قرار گرفته است می کنیم. رسالت بزرگ شما رهبری و هدایت ملت ایران بسوی مردم سالاری و جدائی دین از سیاست است. رسالتی که میهن را از تخریب و ویرانی بیشتر نجات داده و از گذار به نقطه غیر قابل بازگشت بسوی پرتگاهی که در پیش روی ملت ایران است، مصون دارد.
جنابعالی بارها در سخنرانی ها و نوشته ها یتان فرموده اید که هدف اصلی شما رساندن ایران به آزادی، مردم سالاری و ادای دین به میهنی است که آب و خاک پیش¬ کسوتان و خاندانتان بشمار می آید.
از ویژه گیهای میهن ما ، برخورداری از گوناگونی فرهنگی و نژادی ، گفتاری و آرمان های سیاسی است. اگرچه امروز بر هیچ کس پوشیده نیست که کشور ما در دام منجلاب فقر و فساد ، اعتیاد ، روسپی گری ، دیکتاتوری مذهبی ، بی عدالتی اجتماعی و انزوای جهانی گرفتار آمده است.
بدیهی است در چنین مقطع شومی که کشور ما درخطر یورش بیگانه گان و تجزیه طلبان قرار گرفته ، وظیفه هر ایران دوستی است تا رسالتی را که نیاکانش به او واگذار کرده اند را ارج نهاده و با تدبیر و تلاش در این راه مهم گام بردارد تا میهن خویش را از خطر بزرگی که گریبان گیرش شده است، برهاند.
شاید برخی از هواخواهان و دوست داران شما ، اعتقادی به نظام پادشاهی و یا مشروطه نداشته باشند. اما ، باوری عمیق به هدف شما جهت سوق دادن ایران به سوی آزادی، مردم سالاری ، رفاه و عدالت اجتماعی دارند. ایرانیان به اندازه کافی صبر کرده اند و در این زمان وظیفه تاریخی جنابعالی است که آنان را بسوی آزادی، مردم سالاری و رفاه اجتماعی هدایت نمائید.
هردلیلی که باعث خود داری شما از پذیرش هدایت مردم جهت یکپارچگی در راه آزادی و رهائی ایران شده است ، ما خواستار بازنگری شما در تصمیم خود می باشیم . با در نظر گرفتن خطرات بزرگی که گریبان گیر میهن ماست ، ملت ایران به حضور شما به عنوان راهنما و عامل یکپارچگی اقشار مردم نیازمند است .
برای بیشتر مردم ایران ادامه شرایط و وضیعت کنونی تحمل ناپذیر است ، بیش از این که میهن مان مورد یورش بیگانه گان و یا تجزیه گرایان قرار گیرد و یا سیر قهقرائی را به سوی دوران تاریکی بپماید ، از شما نه به عنوان یک پادشاه و رهبر فراکسیون پادشاهی ، بلکه به عنوان یک ایرانی آزاده و روشنفکر و فردی که مورد احترام سیاستمداران ملل دنیاست ، درخواست می کنیم فراخوانی به تمامی ایرانیان آزاده ، سکولار و مردم سالار ارائه نمائید ، تا همه آنان زیر یک پرچم گرد آمده و کشور عزیزمان را به آزادی برسانند.
پاینده ایران |

To: all individuals and progressive organizations
International Declaration
Islamic schools should be banned
Children have no religion
Whereas
political Islam, as a reactionary, anti-human, and, specifically, anti-children-and- women movement has emerged, not only in the Middle East and northern Africa, but also in Europe and North America, laying claim to political power as well as a field of action to play an effective role in the socio-cultural life of these societies;
this movement has started its campaigns by attacking all progressive and modern values not only in the Middle East and northern Africa but also in the heart of Europe and North America;
the leaders of this movement have invested considerable amount of money and personnel to expand Islamic schools globally in order to be able to play an effective role in social, political and cultural arena for further marginalization of so called Islamic communities;
these Islamic schools have become a main source to impose religion and backward traditions on children under the age of 16, and have forcefully given them religious identity and have encouraged discrimination, inequality, revulsion, segregation and Isolation right from childhood;
Islamic schools provide a perfect breeding ground for the growth of Islamism, uphold Islamic ghettos, empower the Sheykhs, parasitical elders and Imams to openly attack and limit women and children’s rights;
Islamic schools provide a perfect basis to recruit youth for the Islamic movement’s terrorist forces, decrees (Fatwas) against opponents of Islam, honour killings and brain washing the children;
One of the very basic principles of Islamic schools is the segregation of girls and boys at a very young age; imposing Hijab on young girls, teaching young boys cruelty towards women and brutality towards girls;
Children have no religion, and, therefore, putting them in the care of Islamic schools means legitimizing the imposition of religion on them on a social level, and this, in turn, signifies an openly refusal on the part of the state to defend the rights of children to safety, happiness, and welfare;
Be it therefore resolved that
- in order to guarantee that the rights of children take precedence over any national, racial, political, ideological, and religious considerations or interests, the state should call for the total separation of religion from education, and adopt a secular educational system for all children;
- all Islamic schools should be prohibited;
- any kind of financial, material or moral support by the state or state institutions to religion and religious activities should be prohibited;
- teaching any religious subjects, dogmas, doctrines, etc should be prohibited in all of the schools;
- all educational establishments must be co-educational;
- alluring young people under 16 to religious sects, religious ceremonies and locations should be prohibited;
- any religious laws and regulations that influence children’s creativity and their inalienable right to a happy life, and prevent their participation in social and leisure activities, should be revoked;
- wearing or carrying all religious symbols, such as Islamic hijab, in schools should be prohibited.
Sincerely,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: the International Community
We, the undersigned, unequivocally condemn the threats of death and bombings by Islamists to limit, censor and silence any critique of Islam.
Criticism of religion - any religion - including caricaturing religious figures, however offensive, are integral components of unconditional freedom of expression, secularism, and the separation of religion's intervention in the public sphere.
These are rights fought for and gained by the enlightenment and progressive social movements.
We must not allow anyone or any movement to erode these fundamental rights and values.
All states are duty-bound to:
* Condemn threats made by religious groups and movements to limit, censor and silence free speech
* Unconditionally defend free speech and the separation of religion's intervention in people's lives
*Immediately prosecute all those issuing threats against persons and places, e.g. threats to kill, or carry out suicide bombings.
Sincerely,

Petition 56: Immediate and unconditional deletion of “Arabian Gulf” from Google Earth

To: International Media
February 19, 2008
Dear Administrators of Google Earth,
We, the undersigned, through this letter, protest your irresponsible, unscientific actions, and demand an immediate and unconditional deletion of “Arabian Gulf” from Google Earth.
Arbitrarily designating the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf is an irresponsible violation of all historical and International standards and would undermine the integrity of Google Earth.
For the records, the name Persia has always been used to describe the nation of Iran, its people, and its ancient empires since 600 BC. It is derived from the ancient Greek name for Iran's maritime province, called Fars or Pars in modern Persian, Pars in Middle Persian and Pârsa in Old Persian, a word meaning "above reproach.” Persis is the Hellenized form of Pars, and through the Latinized word Persia, the other European nations came to use this word for the region. This area was the core of the original Persian Empire.
Since ancient times almost all foreigners referred to the entire country as Persia until March 21, 1935, when Reza Shah Pahlavi formally asked the international community to call the country Iran — a name that the people of Persia, themselves, used to refer to their country since the Sassanian period. "Iran" means "Land of Aryans". In 1959 some Persian scholars protested to the government that the name change had separated the country from its ancient civilization. Therefore, the late King Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi announced that both Persia and Iran can be used in Western languages.
Without disparaging the Arabs, Iranians are proud of their non-Arab heritage and strongly resent any attempt at denigrating or changing any aspect of their Iranian heritage. And the Persian Gulf occupies a pivotal place in the Iranian history and culture. Furthermore, Iran abuts the Persian Gulf for 2,000 Km, while about a dozen recently-created Arab Sheikhdoms and emirates border the Gulf on the other side.
The historical and geographical name of the Persian Gulf has been endorsed and clarified by the United Nations on many occasions and is in use by the UN, its member states, and all other international agencies worldwide. The last UN Directive confirming the name of the Persian Gulf was (reference ST/CS/SER.A/29/Add.2) on August, 18th 1994.
The worldwide Iranian people are deeply affronted by this arrogant designation of “The Arabian Gulf.” We demand, in the strongest possible terms, that you take immediate steps to restore the rightful name of the Persian Gulf to the waterway on Google Earth and delete any other arbitrary name. We hope that this notice would suffice and obviates the need for litigation.
Sincerely,

Please sign petition for Drs. Arash & Kamiar Alaei
Dear Colleague and friends
Arash and Kamiar Alaei are two dedicated Iranian physicians whose lives and activities have been dedicated to honoring Iran. They have been focusing since several years in drawing the attention of Iranian health care system to HIV/AIDS. They have championed triangular education, prevention, treatment, and support clinics in Iran for HIV/AIDS. I have heard them talk during their tour of US on how they started their efforts against HIV/AIDS in Iran at the city of Kermanshah and succeeded in have the health care system in Iran to pay attention to this disease. They are truly fantastic. Understanding the importance of fighting this disease and the global nature of it, they have made major efforts in educating health care professionals in neighboring countries of Iran on HIV/AIDS.
They have been detained by the Iranian government with no explanation since June. Physicians for Human Rights have created a petition calling for their release. Please follow the link below to sign the petition for their release.

To: United Nations
Excellency Ban Ki-moon
Secretary-General
United Nations
New York, New York
Your Excellency,
For several millenniums many nations have celebrated the first day of spring as their new year. Today, nearly 300 million people around the world celebrate the first day of spring as their new year, better known as Norouz (New Day). Nearly all of these celebrants live in UN member nations. Unfortunately, none of the UN calendars or affiliated agencies commemorate this important date as has been done for different celebrations of member nations.
We, the undersigned, request from your Excellency, bearer of the highest office of the United Nations, to kindly authorize the relevant agencies to correct this oversight for the upcoming calendars throughout the UN agencies.
Please accept our best wishes and thanks for your attention to this important request.

To: U.S. Congress
Stop Sharia from becoming official in the United States
Sharia has many elements. Some of these may differ in law and practice from country to country
Samples of some of the Sharia family law edicts include:
- The value of a woman's life is one half of the life of a man.
- The testimony of two women is equal to the testimony of one man
- Daughters get half the inheritance the sons get.
- A woman does not have the right to divorce her husband
- A man can divorce his wife any time he wishes and without her knowledge.
- Men are allowed to marry four wives and as many wives as they can buy.
- Women can not travel, work, go to school, or even leave the house without their husband's permission.
- A woman must live where her husband decides.
- Mothers do not get the custody of their children when their husbands divorce them.
- Husbands can take the baby away from the mother and have another woman feed and raise the infant.
- A widow does not get the custody of her children after the death of her husband. The children will be given to the paternal grand parents of relatives, and the mother has no right of visitation.
- If the husband has no family, the community clergy takes the custody of the woman's children including the family money and belongings.
- In the case of a man's death, the wife will be left without her children, home and property.
- In the case of inheritance for the old wife, mother of grown children, she gets one eighth of the value of the building of the house, not the land that the house is sitting on.
- Marriage between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man is forbidden and invalid, while a Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman.
- If a Muslim woman is raped she cannot bring the rapist to justice without four witnesses to testify in favor of her claim, otherwise she would be punished for adultery
- Muslim men are allowed to beat their wives to discipline them.
Do we want to allow the application of this harsh class of citizenship on our current liberal democratic system? If a family Sharia law would be recognized by our legislative body wouldn't that negate the principal of our current human rights?
We hereby ask members of the US Congress to takes steps through resolutions or laws that would prevent Sharia and Sharia practices from becoming official US legal provisions anywhere in the United States.
Sincerely,
