"Berkeley Lecture Series" presents:

A Panel Discussion on the Challenge Facing Iranian Human Rights Advocates in Diaspora

Participants: Mehrangiz Kar
Karim Lahidji
Farideh Pourabdollah
Moderator: Mansour Farhang


In recent decades individual and dispersed groups of Iranians living abroad have been active in protesting human rights violations in their homeland, but they have not been successful in creating a democratically constituted, inclusive and non-partisan advocacy organization. The purpose of this gathering is to generate a lucid conversation about the causes of our failure and explore the ways in which we can overcome the impediments to the necessity of reaching this goal.

Date: Sunday June 24, 2007
Time: 4:00 P.M.
