- Abstract
The article presents information on democracy, dissent and solidarity in Iran by Leili Kashani, editor at "Arab Studies Journal," with professors Ervand Abrahamian and Hamid Dabashi at the Brecht Forum in New York on July 13, 2009. Kashani started the discussion with the issue of protests after the June 2009 Iran's presidential elections. Abrahamian states that there is no truth to the idea that the U.S. is trying to repeat the 1953 takeover in Iran. Dabashi notes that ethical solidarity is important in recognizing the veracity of this movement.
