Again a tragedy. Some concern about, some not. We send emails and they just ignore; deleting an email is not time consuming. Sending email or even mail to Iran president and Supreme leader does make no change. If we wanna make an action, then we'd better send to some who check their inbox and its a concern for them (UN and etc.) I'm skeptic that these tries change Revolutionary Court desicions! But as who concerns, I'll write! And also sending a group or sect to Ayatollah Khamenei, demanding forgiveness is the best! Sigh!

For sure there has to be some sort of a letter campaign where people write as many protesting letters as possible from all over the world so the IRI can at least come to its senses (doubtful, but worth every shot.) Other than spreading the word, contacting the embassies and government, what else is suggested? If only there was enough time to organize global rallies for this... I am alarmed the rest of the blogosphere did not pick this up as much. This is a hideous crime against humanity.
