UPRISING IN IRAN

Thursday, July 9, 7:00 PM, UT Campus, Parlin 306

Iranian society is experiencing its greatest upheaval since the 1979 revolution. What began as anger over election fraud exploded into protests of millions of people in the streets of Iran’s cities, animated by social and economic grievances and raising the possibility of revolutionary change. Come to a forum for presentations and open discussion on the background to the election crisis and the protests — and where the situation might be heading.

Speakers:

* Banafsheh Madaninejad, UT grad student & member of the Austin Coalition for Iran

* Snehal Shingavi, UT professor & member of International Socialist Organzation

Sponsored by International Socialist Organization and Iranians for Peace and Justice. More info: AustinSocialist@hotmail.com
