Iranian Regime Is Oppressive
Re “Iranian Official Stops in O.C., Draws Protest” (Sept. 24):
The Iranian foreign minister, in his speech at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Dana Point, had the audacity to ask, “Why shouldn’t Iran have a strong lobby here to fight for the rights of Iranians?”
Is he suggesting to fight for the rights of the same people who have left Iran to escape the oppression, torture and dictatorship of his own government? Mr. Foreign Minister: Thank you for your concerns, but please leave the Iranian Americans here alone. We are doing just fine without your generous offer!
If you are really concerned about anyone’s rights, I am sure you can better help the 60 million Iranians who live back in Iran under one of the most oppressive regimes in the world.
