On Monday 13 JUNE 2011 at 6pm human right activists gathered at the southeast corner of Michigan and Congress, symbolically renaming the area: Azadi Square (“Freedom Square” in

by پندارنیک on Fri Jun 17, 2011 06:18 AM PDTThe Amnesty International rent-a-crowd might as well check out the jailhouse, and make sure that inmates in the American so-called correctional institutes are not deprived of their basic human rights, and/or are not discriminated against based on their racial and/or social status.
Any word on Amnesty International's decision as to when change the name back to Arya Mehr?!!:))
