Hi, I'm from Brazil and

by MoonCream on

Hi, I'm from Brazil and these days, I was reading two books about Iran. Reading them make me interested in the current situation of the country.

I saw videos on youtube and found out about the green movement. It's so strange that all this happened last year and I just did not realize.

Anyway, the subject is still very confusing to me. Here, in Brazil, we only hear about the nuclear thing and etc.

Soo, I would like to exchange emails with any iranian person. :) Really! My email is: roxas.twilight_@hotmail.com I don't know how a lot of stuff works, like, this site, the people here are actually in Iran? I guess not, because of the censorship, but is just a guess...Well, ok, this is it, send me a email, if you want, I would be pleased.  :)

Great action of Shadi Sadr, bravo!

by Souri on

I approve and support her action, %200! She did the right thing.

FYI, not all the Iranian are the (léche cul) like Makhmalbaf and Co!

This is not the American or other Westerner who make the rules for us! This is our game and we are leading the game by setting our own rules .More power to Shadi. Many thanks to her.

Just read that Shadi Sadre Refused an Award ( Very Foolish )

by Darius Kadivar on

Iranians in their struggle for democracy ( be them men or women) need to also understand the psychology of their counterparts in Europe and America if they hope to recieve notable support.

We tend at times to express ourselves very clumsily thinking we are understood all the time in our behavior however noble and well intentioned but we don't always realize that Communication Skills in the field of Public Relations is important if we wish to deliver a message efficiently to our non Iranian friends, colleagues or supporters.

I read that Shadi Sadre who who quite rightfully was awarded the International Women of Courage Award 2010 refused to pick up her prize in Washington and prefered dedicating it to another Women Activist held in Iran Shiva Nazar Ahari.

Her attitude however well intentioned could have been more powerful with her being present at the ceremony which would not stop her from making that dedication to her fellow colleague.

Instead she refused to attend the ceremony in Washington where Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was present. This was probably seen as a rude attitude since Mrs. Sadre's recorded message was not aired during the ceremony as a result.:

See Report Here:

//www.awid.org/Issues-and-Analysis/Library/Iran-Shadi-Sadr-Wins-the-International-Woman-of-Courage-Award-2010

And Excerpt in question:

In a recorded message that was to be broadcast at the awards ceremony in Washington D.C., Shadi Sadr states that, “As Shiva is not with us and cannot attend this award ceremony, I will also refrain from attending in the hope that my absence will turn the attention of the international community to her dire situation, and help to free her along with other human rights activists and journalists in Iranian prisons.” We have just learnt that, regrettably, the U.S. Department of State has decided not to broadcast Shadi Sadr’s message during the ceremony. In effect it will succeed in silencing the very voice of protest and solidarity which has earned Ms. Sadr the Women of Courage award.

Here was Shadi Sadre's message in question:

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUU1ayxcou8

Ladies ( but it also apllies to us men) Please Make an Effort in Terms of Communicating your Intentions more subtly than you sometimes do for it can prove counterproductive particularly if you are seeking international support.

Alaki Keh behetoon Jayezeh Nadadand ... 

My Humble Opinion,
