Please read this if you want to know how you can help bring freedom, and secular democracy to Iran. Even the most non-political person knows about the brutal clerics and the worsening situation in Iran. Even if you don’t read the news or follow the scandals on international media, you have heard some news from a relative or two. Public executions, millionaire mullahs, prostitution and exportation of young girls, corruption, distribution of cheap heroin, prisons full of students, serial killings, national resources being on sale, are all currently taking place in Iran. It is no secret that Iranians hate the Islamic regime, and sooner or later our struggle for a secular democracy will prevail. Meanwhile we need to declare to the world that we will not deal with people or companies, that accept the theocratic regime. We simply find it repulsive that European companies are subsidizing the repression the clerics are instilling on our compatriots, all in the name of profits. It is extremely distasteful to see the natural resource , which belongs to all Iranians, oil, being used as a tool to suppress our compatriots’ quest for real democracy. You may ask what a non-political person who lives outside Iran can do to support the democratic movement in Iran. Just like the people of the world united to defeat racial apartheid in South Africa, we are asking the people of the world to help us in defeating religious apartheid in Iran. As a simple starting point, we are asking the world community to boycott the oil company, Shell. Shell is one of the few companies, which is doing heavy business in Iran, and selling gas in various parts of the world, specifically the United States. Some will try to argue that by not buying gas from Shell, you are in fact hurting Iranians, but this is utterly false. For the last 3 years the GDP growth has been around 5%, and it has been forecasted that the GDP will grow another 5% this year. However looking at poverty statistics, there are many more living in, or under the poverty line,then there were 3 years ago. Clearly the oil money, which makes up 80% of Iran’s revenue, is not being spent on the people of Iran. We ask ALL of you - young, old, political and non-political - to boycott Shell and its products all over the world, in support for the fight for freedom in Iran. Our brave countrymen and women risking their life, fighting for a secular democracy. Iranian democracy activists are being imprisoned, beaten, tortured, and executed, and you can help their cause. Please consider boycotting Shell, if not for Iran or Iranians, then for freedom, democracy and justice.
Together we can make a difference.
Help us spread the word in anyway you can.
Long Live IRAN
