Ganji says US policy undermines the efforts of Iranian human rights activists
September 25, 2007 10:48 am IranGanji, a journalist who spent six years in prison for criticizing state repression, starts out with a strong rebuke of U.S. foreign policy toward Iran spanning the last 50 years. Writing “we categorically reject a military attack on Iran,” Ganji blasts Bush’s democracy funding and talk of attacking Iran for actually undercutting the credibility and work of Iranian democracy activists. He complains that Iran’s dispute with the West has deflected the U.N.’s attention from Iran’s internal repression and asks the world to condemn the regime’s human rights violations.
