If you like the idea, share it with your friends. This is for global solidarity.

  Esteemed U.S. Secretary of State, Mrs. Hillary Clinton,

Please accept the greetings of this Iranian prisoner who is deprived of both legal representation and medical attention.

As you may very well know, the Islamic regime in Iran came to power based on lies and false promises by its founders, and with the passage of time, it lost its public footing, to the point where the international community realized that the people of Iran and the regime are in fact, divided. Those atop the regime of Supreme Leadership continue to either plunder or pillage the great wealth of this rich land, or expand their militaristic and autocratic ambitions.
