A Broad Coalition Against The Regime

Here is an Excellent Article about two Iranians, singer Googoosh and journalist Akbar Ganji.

Googoosh was a Western style pop singer inside Iran during the time of the Shah and was one of the biggest stars in the country. In is his youth, Akbar Ganji was a devout follower of Khomeini and a strong supporter of the Islamic Revolution.

Yet these two very different Iranians met at the UN this week in a hunger strike to protest what is going no in Iran. Although they have both been exiled from Iran, it shows you that the regime has alienated almost all sectors of the Iranian population.
