This Sunday, July 1, 2012 the European Union, backed by the United
States, will launch a potentially crippling oil embargo against the
Iranian people. This follows escalating U.S. sanctions that as of June
28 further punish any business with Iran’s Central Bank and further
decimate the country’s capacity to make financial transactions. The
Iranian people are already suffering and resisting the grave impact of
sanctions and the Iranian government’s economic policies as they face
rising prices in food, medicine, and other basic needs.

Sanctions constitute collective punishment. They are not an
“alternative to war,” but are war by other means. They are an assault
on the lives and aspirations of the Iranian people, including their
aspirations and struggle against state repression to create a
meaningfully democratic and just society.

We must not be silent. On July 1, 2012 at 3:00PM in New York City,
please join Iranians and allies to demonstrate against these
escalating sanctions and the new U.S.-backed E.U. oil embargo.

On July 1, meet us at 3:00PM at the German Mission to the United
Nations, at 871 United Nations Plaza (on 1st Ave between 48th and 49th
street). We will demonstrate at the German, British, French and U.S.
missions to the United Nations, Demanding that these world powers
cease the implementation of this unethical and illegitimate policy
that will only result in an assault on the Iranian people. Iranians
and allies will briefly speak at each of these stops, providing
testimony about the egregious impact of these types of U.S., E.U. and
U.N. sponsored sanctions on the people.

If you are unable to join us in New York on July 1, we ask you to
speak up and protest wherever you are. Spread the word.

In solidarity,

Havaar: Iranian Initiative Against War, Sanctions & State Repression
