Is Iran Close to Revolt? A Student Dissident's View
Featuring Amir Abbas Fakhravar

Watch this event online

Discovery Institute is pleased to welcome Amir Abbas Fakhravar to Seattle. Mr. Fakhravar was Iran's top student leader who was imprisoned and tortured in Iran before escaping and fleeing to the United States in May of this year.

Mr. Fakhravar's remarks will focus on the political climate in Iran, and on the broadening coalition of opposition groups�including many led by Iranian students�operating within the country. He argues that the general population in Iran is increasingly pro-American, due in part to the highly publicized rhetoric of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and that the country is ripe for democratic reform.

This promises to be an insightful event that you won't want to miss. The lecture will be held from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 4 at Discovery Institute headquarters, located at 1511 Third Avenue, Suite 808 in downtown Seattle. A selection of regional wines and cheeses will be provided. There is no cost to attend, but we do ask that you register soon, as space for the event is limited.

To register contact Annelise Davis at adavis@discovery.org or call (206) 292-0401, ext. 153.
