June 27: Vigil for Kian Tajbakhsh

Here's a follow-up to the recent note from our comrade and friend Juliet Ucelli:

"I think I have spoken to many of you about my friend Kian Tajbakhsh, who has been unjustly detained by the Iranian government since May 11, allowed no lawyer or family visits and possibly facing serious charges. (Some of you also know Kian yourselves.) More info is available at

"Amnesty International and other groups have called a vigil at UN Plaza on behalf of the Iranian-American detainees--their notice is below. It's on Wednesday, June 27 from noon to 1 p.m.

"It would be great if anyone who's free during the day or works nearby could attend."

Thanks.

Juliet
