11/5/01 Senator Dianne Feinstein One
Post Street, #2450 San
Francisco, CA 94104 Dear Senator Feinstein: We
are very disturbed about the bill that you have introduced to the US Senate
to bar students from seven countries including those from Iran, from United
States universities. It
is so ironic that while the representatives of the Islamic Regime of Iran
(IRI), a recognized terrorist regime, are welcome to the UN in violation of
the U.S. Anti Terrorism Act and the UN Resolution of September 12, the victims
of this regime are barred from the United States universities. Iranian
students have been historically at the forefront of the struggle for freedom
and democracy in Iran and thousands of them are currently in jail for
opposing the terrorism of Islamic Regime. The Islamic Regime of Iran is a terrorist regime
and as such has been on the list of terrorist regimes of the State Department
for so long. The IRI has been condemned seven times by the Federal District
Court of Columbia for participation in terrorist acts against U.S. citizens. It is the representatives of this regime including
Mr. Khatami that must be accountable for these terrorist acts based on the
international human rights laws rather than being allowed to make a mockery
of civilization and take part in the UN conference on dialogue of
civilizations. We urge you to show your will for fighting against
terrorism by supporting the struggle of freedom loving Iranian people against
the IRI system of terror. Please don’t deny the Iranian students, the victims
of terrorism, from seeking education in the U.S. Respectfully, Mohammad Parvin, Ph.D. MEHR Executive Director |
