 author of a newly released book, “Interview with Galindo Pohl,” a book 
 of the testimony of political prisoners in meetings with an envoy of the 
 U.N.  Vazir spent 10 years of his life in the torture chambers of the 
 Islamic Republic of Iran. He will speak about what took place in the 
 infamous dungeons of Evin, Ghezel Hesar and Gohar Dasht … while the whole

 prominent member of the Communist Party of Iran (MLM) and co-founder of the 
 March 8 Women Organization (Iran- Afghanistan). Azar was one of the main 
 organizers of the March to Abolish All Unequal laws and Punishment Against 
 Women by IRI in March 8, 2006, this was the biggest demonstration of 
 Iranian women outside Iran. Azar and her friends raised: “No to

 Possible!”\nAzar lost her 11-year battle against cancer on May 26, 2012.

 yet another war of aggression this time against IRAN.\n\nAnd the savage 
 regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran has committed immense crimes against 
 its own people, including massacring tens of thousands of women and men 
 revolutionary political prisoners in the summer of  1988, in a matter of 
 just a few days while the whole world kept silent - a silence maintained to 
 this very day!\n\nWe refuse to go along with either!\nWe commemorate the 
 24th anniversary of the massacre of political prisoners in Iran (Summer of 
 1988); and remember the life of our beloved revolutionary Azar Derakhshan
