Rally For Freedom

صوت

A small, but meaningful, band came out on short notice to lend support to the fight for freedom in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, Egypt, Bahrain, Tunisia … 
It’s a long list.

The organization that hired the band is called Neda. Neda means ‘voice’ in Farsi. It is also the name of a young women who was attacked and killed in Iran in 2009. 

The story can be read here but be advised, the details are disturbing.
