Iran harrasing dissidents using INTERPOL!
This is nuts! Amadamnajerk and The Iranian regime are using INTERPOL to try and arrest dissidents in other countries they have labeled terrorists, and
INTERPOL is helping them! These are people with legitimate dissent with the Government of Iran. This I believe is unprecedented!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The Iranian regime is notorious for cracking down on dissent inside Iran. Now Mahmoud Ahmadenijad and the mullahs are targeting
dissidents in other countries -- including those in the United States.
And they are using an international organization to do it.
The Regime Never Forgets
Shahram Homayoun fled Iran for the United States 19 years ago. He was a marked man in his native country, because of his support for democracy and
human rights.
Now the regime has finally caught up with Homayoun: not in Tehran, but in Los Angeles.
"They have managed to keep me here, and it seems like there is nothing the U.S. government can do," Homayoun told CBN News in an exclusive
interview.
Homayoun owns a satellite television network in L.A. called Channel One TV. He broadcasts pro-democracy programming into Iran on a daily basis.
Now Iranian officials want to silence him -- permanently. A prosecutor in the Iranian city of Shiraz recently issued an arrest warrant against
Homayoun on charges of terrorism.
Homayoun explained that he has never called for violence or terrorism of any kind against the Iranian government.
"Never," he said. "Even if the Iranian regime changes, we are encouraging people not to seek revenge. We are anti-terrorism."
Yet Homayoun is now a wanted man, unable to leave the U.S. for fear of arrest.
