The silence that speaks for Iranian voices
The George W. Bush Institute
Iran
The Iranian regime continues to silence the Iranian people through an internet blackout, obstruction of satellite transmissions and cutting of cellular telephone communications. It is critical that the world stands in solidarity with the Iranian people against this threat to their freedoms.
For 47 years, Iran’s extremist, theocratic regime has inflicted serious harm on the Iranian people and global peace and security.
People worldwide seek freedom, and the Iranian people are no exception.
