NYC 2/20/2010 Mansour Farhang: Struggle for Democracy in Iran 2/3

The event was organized by the Solidarity Committee for Advancement of Democracy in Iran (SCADI) in New York city, a members supported group dedicated to support the secular democratic movement and human rights in Iran.
Mansour Farhang—who has taught at Bennington since 1983—served as revolutionary Iran's first ambassador to the United Nations, and resigned in protest when the Khomeini regime refused to accept the U.N. Commission of Inquiry's recommendation to release American hostages in Teheran. Early in the Iran-Iraq war, he served as envoy in negotiations with international peace missions. Currently he serves on the advisory board of Middle East Watch, a branch of Human Rights Watch, an organization dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world. And in the media, he's one of the most sought-after experts on the Middle East, appearing as a guest on numerous national and international radio and television programs
