WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Nobel Prize laureates, former heads of state, retired military officers, business leaders, actors, authors, and human rights defenders forced into exile are among the more than 480 luminaries and global voices in civil society, media, and government who issued a joint statement today calling for the international community to take steps to increase and strengthen support for protesters in Iran.
“This pledge of support for the people of Iran and their fight to live freely shows the remarkable unity of a broad coalition from around the world, across the political spectrum, and from all segments of society,” said Michael J. Abramowitz, president of Freedom House. “The world stands with the Iranian people as they continue to risk their lives and well-being for their freedom.”
