Dear Friends:
I just wanted to let you all know about this lovely piece written by New
York Times columnist Jake Mooney on all the wonderful work done by
Amnesty International group 11 in New York to help prominent Iranian
student activist and former prisoner of conscience Ahmad Batebi. They
have been devoting their efforts to helping Ahmad for several years and
continue to do so. Please note the event the group is hosting on Thursday
October 30 in Manhattan. It is free and open to the public (details
below) so please tell anyone you know in the New York area about it. The
kindness and dedication of these volunteer activists is truly inspiring.
Best wishes,
Elise Auerbach

human rights group, began working to help free Ahmad Batebi, in 2002,
he had been in an Iranian prison for about three years after being
arrested as part of a student protest in Iran.
