Prof. Afshin Razani, who spoke at UJP's "A New War in the Middle East? A Teach-in on Iran" on April 28, forwarded this statement for UJP's information.

In the Name of God

The Green Movement of the People of Iran is a peaceful and civil movement that struggles for the realization of the Iranian people’s historical demands for freedom, justice, independence, development, peace and morality. As the detained leaders of the Green Movement, Mr. Mousavi and Mr. Karroubi, have emphasized in the Charter of the Green Movement, this movement calls for the elimination of tensions in international relations, a rational and honorable foreign policy for Iran based on constructive cooperation with the international community, rejection of adventurist diplomacy, and promotion of global respect for this great, historical nation.
