Heshmat Tabarzadi who is a democratic activist


Following the December 7, 2009 Student Day protests in homeland, Tabarzadi published an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, writing, “One thing is certain: Dec. 7 proved that the movement for a free, democratic homeland is robust and only growing in strength. If the government continues to opt for violence, there very well may be another revolution in homeland. One side has to step down. And that side is the government—-not the people.”
