A Campaign Initiated by:
The House of Latin America (HOLA)
Introduction
On October 12, 2010, House of Latin America (HOLA), a NGO in Iran acting in solidarity and defense of the peoples of Latin America, initiated an Appeal, calling on social justice and anti-war forces around the world to mobilize to come to the defense of the people of Iran in this urgent hour of U.S. escalating threats and continuing sanctions. The Appeal, which is noticeable in another section of this same website was initially endorsed by a number of organizations active in the peace movement of US and Canada and was later supported by 100s of freedom loving people and progressive movements throughout the world.
A clear indication of the broad support for the ongoing campaign in solidarity with the people of Iran was shown during a "Solidarity Tour" to a number of countries in Latin America. In that tour, which took place during the two months of November & December 2010, representatives of mass organizations in Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Uruguay endorsed the appeal of "Solidarity with Iran – SI" campaign. A partial list of supporters of the SI campaign could be noticed elsewhere in this website.
We urge everyone who takes side with the oppressed as opposed to the oppressor, we urge every citizen of Africa, the Americas, Antarctica, Asia, Australia & Oceania, and Europe to join this campaign. You may help this campaign in different ways, by bringing the truth out about the aggressions against Iran through educational meetings, seminars & forums, publishing news and articles, rallies and demonstrations and by giving donations.
Aim & Policies
Aim
The aim of the campaign for Solidarity with Iran – SI is to mobilize broadest international support in defense of the right of Iran to self-determination; a right which has historically been denied by hegemonic powers. This campaign is being initiated at a time that the aggressions of a handful of oppressive powers headed by US government against Iran are stronger than ever. These aggressions that are executed today through intensified economic sanctions, military threats and maneuvers to ban Iran from its legitimate right to develop peaceful nuclear energy, pursue nothing but to deprive Iranian people from their sovereignty. These antagonistic acts, which are carried out paradoxically in the name of people of North America and Europe, have in fact nothing to do with the interests of ordinary peoples of those regions, who like all human being wish to enjoy social justice, while living in brotherhood and peace with other nations. The only motive for these aggressions is clear; it is to secure the material interests of a small number of billionaires through plundering by any means the natural resources of oppressed nations. The human conscious shall not tolerate that.
The campaign for Solidarity with Iran – SI, appeals to such consciousness with the belief that the support of world public opinion would be decisive to put an end to unethical and unlawful aggressions against Iran.
Policies
- The stand of SI campaign in defense of self-determination of Iran is unconditional.
- In defending the sovereignty of Iranian people, SI campaign also defends the government of Islamic Republic of Iran against the aggressions of hegemonic powers, whether these aggressions are carried out through economic sanctions, military threats or the attempts for "regime change" by other means such as bringing instability in Iran with interfering in internal affairs of that nation.
- As long as the two above-mentioned principled policies of the SI campaign are observed, the campaign is completely non-exclusive.
- The SI campaign pursues its aim through peaceful means and by informing the public opinion about the achievements of the struggles of Iranian people since they overthrow the US-backed regime of the Shah, and also by providing facts on different forms of aggressive acts against Iran.
