Hi - I received this, and am passing it along for those who are interested regarding events in Iran ... The below meeting is being held by the Baha'i Faith Community to support those who have been imprisoned for nothing more than their beliefs - seven of whom are in Evin prison ...
************************************************** ************************************************** ****
The National Spiritual Assembly has asked the San Francisco Assembly, along with five other metro Assemblies throughout the US, to "take the lead in holding a large event for [our] entire metropolitan area, which could generate significant publicity about the situation of the Baha'is in Iran."
The Bay Area event will take place on Wednesday, August 12, at 8 PM, at the Herbst Theater (http://www.sfwmpac.org/herbst/ht_index.html) in San Francisco. Plans are underway for inviting local and state dignitaries to attend, show their support, and speak, as well as for media coverage and participation by interfaith and other organizations. The keynote speaker will be Farhad Sabetan, of the Baha'i International Community, the United Nations NGO.
You have no doubt been following the alarming news from Iran as the situation of the Baha'is in that country becomes more and more dangerous. http://www.iranpresswatch.org/
Thanks for your interest - hope to see you there!
