Austin Sheridan MSYP Supports Green Movement in Iran

On the 7th of December it was the Iranian Students day, on this day the students of more than 200 universities in more than 50 cities in Iran took to the streets demanding their rights for free thought, free expression and democratic governance of their country. I Austin Sheridan MSYP have now come out in support of the brave and unwavering students and people of Iran in their call for freedom and democracy.

This was demonstrated by a street protest in Glasgow City Centre to show our support for the people who want to change Iran for the better. It was a great learning experience to meet people from Iran and listen to what appears to be an uphill struggle for something that we take for granted in Scotland. In my view Freedom and Democracy is a basic human right not to be denied.

I joined this protest as I support the following statement:

"By joining us yo will confirm that the internationally recognised Human Rights are the rights of all citizens of the World, and you will show to the people and particularly to the students of Iran that they are not alone in their struggle for freedom and demand for human rights."

I don't think thats too much to ask and I urge all people to please recerch this and show your support. If you need anymore infrmation regarding the Green Movement you can contact the Free Iran Group Glasgow at: freeiranglasgow@googlemail.com
