Hunger Strike at UN

Iranian activists are holding a hunger strike at the UN to demand more action. Here is their website:

I think the UN is one of entities that should speak out boldly against what is going on in Iran since it would not be prudent for individual countries to do so. Iranians have a great deal of pride in their nation and the contributions that it has given to the world community. To have an organization like the UN which represents all nations to criticize Iran would have a great deal of impact in Iran. As Rafsanjani said in his speech, Iran has been humiliated in the world community. This sens of humiliation could be a strong force to keep the regime in check and ultimately lead to a reformist victory. So I strongly support the hunger strike at the UN and call on the UN to speak out against the regime in Iran.
