Plea to Gay Russians for Aug 11 Iran Action

To: nicolas_alexeyev@yahoo.com

Dear Brother Nikolai:

Gay greetings to you and all of our family members in Russia. Thanks for your great work regarding the troubles of our brothers and sisters inside Iran.

Please organize an event in Russia on August 11, or August 12 since you are on much different time zone and all, in solidarity with the actions in the United Kingdom, France, San Francisco, and the actions that have already happened in the last week in Amsterdam and Stockholm.

Can you stage a news conference at the Iranian embassy in Moscow? Maybe deliver a letter to Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin?

I beg you to do even a small event, such as lighting candles at a gay establishment in Moscow, on behalf of Iranian gays and opposing the death penalty on Aug 11 or Aug 12.

I will of course do everything I can to alert the gay community and many reporters about any actions in Russia called by your group as part of the Aug 11 global day of protest against the death penalty and for support of gay and all human rights advocates in Iran.

Best,
michael
