If reza truly cares about Iran that much , fly back and be forced to sit in a cell with the political prisoners who have solidarity.
Akbar Ganji is apparently on the verge of death, his daughters educational careers have been ruined (her older one was about to sit konkoor but was unable to thinking of her father wasting away in the dungeons of the regime)
I've said it before, I'll say it again - Ganji is a true hero for Iranian people, stop wasting your time waiting for the light of the arya race to be shone across Iran and we once again become an imperial superpower ---
Thank you...
People like Ganji are deffinetly the
true heroes!
Let me tell you, that I have great hounour and respect for people like Ganji fighting from within the country.
I wish that everyone on the outside could put their money where their mouth is much like people from within. You can talk the talk but you also have to walk the walk...
It is very easy to command people to go out, start a revolution and for them to get captured/beaten/tortured/killed; all this while comfortably sitting on your couch in LA.
I am not saying this about RP in specific but it is rather a criticism on the LA media and the expat opposition groups.

In my opinion,
Anoush Jan, What is the point and use the hero like Ganji is sitting in jail cell.
Don't you think, if Ganji could escape the jail and come to country like canada or US, his voice can be heard louder.
He can giud our people much better from democratic country than being ina cell in Evin.
I just feel like Ganji is like a burning Candel who is going to waste inside Evin.
to fight this regime does not require the fighters go to Iran and give themself to the I.R. Jalads and spent the rest of their lives in jail and get tortured.
Look at what Ganji and others like him have done from within a jail cell...
It certainly takes some massive balls; something that others here in the west may be lacking of.
The movement that has started from within certainly needs more people like him staying back and fighting from within. If not it would be a movement that would be extinguished and crushed very easily.
I don't beleive that Ganji is a "Candel who is going to waste" yet I beleive that he has actually sacrificed himself for his country and for a better cause...

I have no answer the political figures loss their popularity when they move outside Iran !!!! Khomeyni did not loss his power??!! What is the difference here, I do not know.
The problem here is that expat oposition forces outside of the country have lost most of their credibility with the mass population of Iran.
Certainly people like HAKHA on the LA medias don't help it either...
Quite frankly people inside Iran do not place alot of importance on the external opposition and quite frankly do not view them as a real alternative.
I remember a time before I left Iran and before the begining of the current wave of movements from within that when people talked about an alternative to the regime there was no real candidate as a replacement or to at least get something started and going...
Now that the wheels are in motion and that we have people like Ganji fighting from within, we have to route for them and rally behind them for they are the true and
real heroes.
