                              *** Summary ***
As the saying goes: ?To do the right thing, one needs to know the history.?
And to play the right role in the recent movement in Iran, we need to learn
from the history of ?Islamic Republic of Iran (I.R.I.)?, especially the
crimes and human rights violations committed by the regime against its own
people.

Three decades has past since the 1979 revolution in Iran and the fact is the
young generation has never seen/felt what happened then and the middle and old
generations might have forgotten its characteristics.

The acclaimed ?Persepolis? movie by Marjan Satrapi is great source for
reviewing the I.R.I history and its aftermath which covers a wide span of time.
Even if you have seen the movie before, watching it again after the recent human
rights violations in Iran will give you a better prospective of the facts about
the current regime in Iran and what one can do to help the Iranian people at
this time.
