In Iran, the Islamic government has many controls on the things that the citizens of Iran do. Two years ago, an election for president was held in Iran, and many people saw a contradiction in who they voted for, and who is currently president. While many people in Iran voted for one person, the "results" claimed that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had been re-elected. Frustrated with a rigged election, many Iranians took to the streets in protest.
My mother and her family are from Iran, and I am very much in touch with my Iranian culture. I hope that the fight doesn't stop and that people in Iran don't give up protesting for the rights that they deserve.
