Iranians are becoming increasingly fed up with the theocracy. Elections have been rigged; protests are brutally suppressed; and human rights are being unforgivably violated.
Since the re-election of President Ahmadinejad, thousands of protestors have surfaced, to stand up against the intolerable injustices of this dictatorial regime. The revolution of 1979, forcing the Shah to flee, was fought in the name of bringing Muslim morality and purity to their country - this can hardly be claimed now. The toll of fatalities has reached 200, many tortured to their death.
Even in the face of death, courageous Iranians have defied the Government and Ayatollah Ali Khamanei, the Supreme Leader by coming out onto the streets to seek justice - and now we have our chance to show our support. Ahmadinejad is set to address the UN in New York, the perfect opportunity for Westerners to protest against his behaviour.
Ahmadinejad has closed his doors to the West to influence politics in Iran. But when Ahmadinejad comes to New York along with the world's eyes, anyone who cares about democracy has their chance to vent their anger.
