Come along and hear the truth about Iran from a real activist.
"They will hear the truth about Iran."
Why not tell them the truth. What about organising a vist to Iran to talk to the population and see what is happening on the ground for themselves. People talking to themselves a few thousand miles removed will achieve nothing.
