POST SOCCER USA/IRAN GAME PRESS RELEASE

January 17, 2000

As over 50,000 spectators in Los Angeles witnessed and as it was broadcast live through out the world, Islamic Regime of IRAN sustained a major set back. In an unprecedented surprising act the national anthem of Islamic Republic was not played in order to defuse crowd's refusal to salute the anthem of the oppressors of Iranian people. Only the national anthem of US was played. Spectators solidly stood behind the Iranian soccer players and gave the team a thunderous ovation while they jogged around the stadium at the end of the game.

MEHR IRAN flew banners over head which one read: " MEHR-IRAN opposes Human Rights abuses by Islamic Regime" and a second banner contained the following message: "Help MEHR IRAN to Prosecute Abusers.
