Human Rights Violations in Iran

The Iranian people are suffering under the radical Islamist regime. Freedom of expression has been stifled and human rights have been trampled on. Iranians need your support.

Thanks for your kind comment!

But I would counter that the Shah did arrest and torture his political opposition through the secret police agency, SAVAK. But I will agree that the Shah was not as oppressive as the current government, something that I should have emphasized in the video.

Many thanks!

In Memory of Neda and Farrokhroo Parsa who was executed on May 8, 1980 by firing squad in Tehran by the same Butchers and Swine that Murdered Neda. The People of Iran will be free again thanks to them.

great video! i loved the intensity of the video of the women being shot. it really makes me want to try and help iran and spread awareness. i also love that the text is green, it emphasizes the green revolution. the music was also very good because it went right along with the sadness of the issue.

i think this video was made really well! the music adds a sort of intensity along with the green letters symbolizing the revolution (even though the words could have been slowler initially). the videos gave me a look at how bad the iranian citizens had it and even are having it now. Well Done!

First off, GREAT VIDEO! Probably one of my favorites because of its intensity and how easily the information is to understand. The video of the girl getting shot really makes you want to help this cause. I also love the music. The text in the beginning is a little fast but other than that great job!

The grisly footage of Neda really took me aback and stuck with me as I watched the rest of the video. Though it was gory and profoundly disturbing, it also struck to the core of the current regime in Iran, highlighting the violence that has seized the nation since the 2009 election. Great job.

I thought your video was very well done! The pictures and media you showed of the violence in Iran really makes the viewer pay attention. In general, it gives a good brief overview of the issues surrounding the green revolution.

Your use of graphics were gory but effective. It is sad that Iran is in its current situation. I would have liked to see more facts about the differences between the ways the two rulers ran the country, and figures on how oppressive the situation is. Although the use of sad music was very strog in getting yout point across, and the fact that you dedicated almost 25% of your video to finding a solution really encourages viewers to take action. So job well done.
