Iran Video: Journalist Fathi, Congressman Ellison on Human Rights


             

 DateSaturday, March 19, 2011 at 7:50 | AuthorScott Lucas in ,

Nazila Fathi and Keith Ellison speak at this week's conference, hosted by the National Iranian American Council, on human rights in Iran.

Fathi was the correspondent for The New York Times in Tehran but was forced to leave soon after the 2009 Presidential election. Ellison, a Democrat from Minnesota, is the first Muslim to be elected to the US Congress.

US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Suzanne Nossel and Jonas Hafström, the Swedish Ambassador to the US, also spoke at the conference. Unfortunately, the sound quality of a panel discussion on the issues is quite poor.
