An Iranian Voice Against Sanctions and War

SHAHRZAD NOORBALOOCHI
"An Iranian Voice Against Sanctions and War: Stories from the Iranian Collective Memory"

Shahrzad will discuss her recent trip to Iran where the effects of sanctions has already caused huge increases in lthe price of eggs and other foodstuffs. The Iranian people are well aware that the US is causing the rapid inflation, which is hurting the living standards of the Iranian people -- but ironically may actually strengthen the position of the rulers of the Islamic Republic.

Shahrzad Noorbaloochi is an Iranian-American student. She serves on the Board of Massachusetts Peace Action and is a member of the Boston University Anti-War Coalition.
