A moving 9-minute speech (in English) at the world's largest rally for Iran on July 25th's "Day of Action". 12,000 people were in attendance at San Francisco's City Hall to protest Ahmadinejad's inauguration as president of Iran. Turaj speaks of current abuses there and of his father's extended detention (Political dissident Kourosh Zaim was arrested shortly after the June 12th elections in Iran.) Turaj addresses the feeling of powerlessness in the Iranian diaspora, and explains why this dream of freedom cannot die. Thank you to Siamak and Fargol for submitting the footage.

  • Yes, he was released out of solitary just after this speech, but he was released on bail from Evin Prison altogether in mid-September.
