Greetings, I would like to thank you for your support for our protests in Ottawa and for letting our beloved students in Iran know that they are not alone and that we are doing everything in our power to support them. Here are two more pictures, one of which shows a brave Iranian woman in front of the Iranian Embassy in Ottawa with the Lion and Sun flag. I would also like to bring to your attention that we have gathered many signatures for a petition asking the Canadian government to condemn the Iranian Regime for their human rights abuses and their support for terrorism. We will be delivering the petition to the office of the Prime Minister on Monday, July 8th, and we hope it will have some effect and that the Canadian government will stop its support of the Iranian Regime. Lastly, we would like to announce once more our protest for 18 Tir, which will take place on July 8th, Tuesday from 6-9 in front of the Iranian embassy and from there a march towards Parliament Hill. Long live Iran, Sayeh Hassan.
