March to support the Iranian people's upsurge and condemn the Islamic Regimes brutality


It is nearly a month since the start of the Iranian peoples uprising against a backward and medieval Islamic regime that swept the whole country.

The regime, whose pillars have been strongly shaken, has since resorted to all kinds of suppression and repression to contain the peoples rebellions. But they have not been able to put out the fire that the people of Iran started.

In this upsurge, the women have been playing a remarkable role, indicating both the severe oppression the women have been going through in the last 30 years of Islamic rule and the determination of the young women to put an end to the history of an anti-women and anti-people regime.

The recent events in Iran have triggered different reactions from different corners of the world. It is becoming more apparent that US imperialism has moved to save Ahmadinejad- Khamenei's regime in exchange for his cooperation on Irans nuclear issue and also US policy in the Middle-East. As all the big powers are pursuing their own interest and seeking to support one faction or other in the regime, we expect all the freedom loving people and those who hate the oppression and suppression of the people, and the kind of oppression the women of Iran are going through, to stand along side the people of Iran and do all they can to support the Iranian peoples upsurge and help them to keep the fire burning.

We invite you to join the march that we Iranian women along with several other groups have organised, showing your solidarity and support to the Iranian peoples movement and protest the Islamic regimes brutality.
