A group of Iranian refugees asked for the chance to speak at the Stop the War protest today to make clear their opposition to any possible war against Iran and to the theocratic regime in Tehran.
But according to an open letter to the STWC from the Iranian group:
We were told to explain our position and, upon my explanation, were told STWC “can not allow any statement against the Islamic regime in Iran from the platform.”
According to Arash Shakib, the organiser of the Iranian group, the Stop the War Coalition, exclude the views of opponents of the Islamic regime while promoting the views of supporters of this barbaric regime.
