I am Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Three years ago the world witnessed millions of you standing up against repression, demanding democracy and human rights. The spark that you lit in Iran has inspired unprecedented change in the region. However, in Iran, your demands have yet to be realized. Oppression continues. Many great nations have gone through such struggles, which often take decades to resolve. If South Africa could change, change, therefore, is possible any and everywhere. Continue on your path. Remember it is always darkest before dawn. To the rulers of Iran: bend to the will of the people. Your Excellency, Ayatollah Khameni, set the children of Iran free. Ayatollah Larijani, close Evin prison, just as Robben Island prison was closed in South Africa. To Irans religious leaders: oppose the use of imprisonment, torture, and murder in the name of religion. These actions do not reflect the Muslim faith. To all world leaders on this anniversary: let us renew our commitment to support the Iranian people and their struggle for democracy and human rights. Imprisonment should not be the reward for courage and dignity. To Iranians abroad, and indeed all people everywhere: our lives and future are intertwined. Use your freedom to demand theirs. Change begins with people of great courage. My children Narges and Majid, you are in our hearts. Hossein Maleki, our prayers ring out for you. And to the rest of brave Iranians striving for a better Iran, continue on your path. We are with you. fardA az Ane mAst. -------------- <http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=319273884827795&set=a.108394812582371.22582.107354516019734&type=1&theater> *Claimed photograph of a memorial on Tuesday at the grave of Neda Agha Soltan, killed by a gunshot during the protests of 20 June 2009* *See also Iran Analysis: The Nuclear Talks --- The West Looks for an Iranian Crash <http://bit.ly/MpiIKV> Remember Iran Flashback: 20 June 2009 --- The Death of Neda...And Many Others<http://www.enduringamerica.com/home/2012/6/20/remember-iran-flashback-20-june-2009-the-death-of-nedaand-ma.html> Middle East and Iran Audio Feature: "Oil and Politics" --- Scott Lucas with Monocle 24<http://www.enduringamerica.com/home/2012/6/20/middle-east-and-iran-audio-feature-oil-and-politics-scott-lu.html> Latest from #Iran (19 June): An Opening at Nuclear Talks?
