About
United4Iran is a non-partisan collaborative of individuals and human rights organizations. United4Iran does not promote any political agenda, and we are opposed to any foreign interference or military attack on Iran. Our only aim is to condemn the widespread and systematic violations of the Iranian people’s human rights and to call for full restoration of their human and civil rights.
We came together to organize a Global Day of Action on July 25th so the citizens of the world can stand together for:
1) Civil and human rights for the people of Iran2) Stopping the abuse of power—the imprisonment, torture and killing3) Solidarity with the Iranian people. To our Iranian brothers and sisters: We have heard your voices, and you are not alone.
What’s happening?
On Saturday July 25, people around the world have the opportunity to support the people of Iran in their struggle for democracy, freedom and basic human rights by attending rallies in dozens of cities around the world.
Why a global day of action?
On June 12th, Iranians participated in a presidential election marred by accusations of widespread fraud and voting irregularities. In the days that followed, hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets to protest the official election results. The Iranian government’s brutal response to these protests has left at least 20 people dead, hundreds more badly injured, and still hundreds more arrested and at high risk of torture and execution. These acts are a direct assault on the Iranian people’s human and civil rights – and those of everyone who supports these ideals around the world.
Since the contested elections on June 12th, hundreds of thousands of people have participated in hundreds of demonstrations in at least 40 major cities in 15 countries. However, no globally coordinated event has yet been organized. On July 25 people around the world can support the people of Iran in their struggle for democracy, freedom and basic civil rights.
What do we hope to achieve?
The global day of action is organized around the following core demands:
That the international community uphold the Iranian people’s human rights as a matter of international concern, and that the UN Secretary General should immediately appoint a delegation to travel to Iran to investigate the fate of prisoners as well as disappeared persons;
The immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, including journalists, students, and civil society activists;
An end to state-sponsored violence, and accountability for crimes committed; and
Freedom of assembly, freedom of expression, and freedom of press as guaranteed by the Iranian constitution and Iran’s obligations under international covenants that it has signed.
What do we believe in?
We agree with the following values and visions:
“If one country sincerely wants to support democracy in another country that is under dictatorial rule, the only thing to do is to support the freedom fighters who stand for the democratic institutions of that country. Done this way, the sapling of democracy will bear the flower of freedom.” – Shirin Ebadi, Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner
“The Campaign is founded on these principles: that human rights in Iran, and in every country, are a matter of legitimate international concern and essential to establishing international peace and security; that human rights in Iran can only be implemented with the assistance of civil society, whose role must be protected and sustained; that human rights compliance in Iran should be approached from a non-partisan perspective, and detached from political objectives; and that solidarity with any and all peoples prevented from enjoying their human rights is a moral imperative of our time.” –International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran
We do not have any political agenda; our only aim is to support the people of Iran in their struggle for democracy, freedom and basic civil rights.

«اتحاد برای ایران» یک ائتلاف جمعی غیر سیاسی از فعالان و سازمان های حقوق بشر است و هیچ برنامه سیاسی را تبلیغ نمی کند. ما نقض گسترده و سازماندهی شده حقوق مردم در ايران را محکوم می کنيم و خواستار تامين حقوق بشر آنها هستيم.
روز جهانی اقدام
کلامی چند درباره روز جهانی اقدام
فراخوان
روز شنبه، ۲۵ ژوییه برابر با سوم مرداد، ما در گردهمایی ها، راهپیمایی ها و تظاهرات در شهرهای گوناگون جهان شرکت می کنیم تا پشتیبانی خود را از جنبش مردم ایران برای دموکراسی، آزادی حقوق بنیادین بشر در ایران اعلام کنیم.
چرا روز «جهانی» برای اقدام؟
در تاریخ ۱۲ ژوییه ۲۰۰۹، مردم ایران در انتخابات ریاست جمهوری شرکت کردند که نتیجه اعلام شده مورد قبول مردم قرار نگرفت ، چرا که مردم بر این باور بودند که در انتخابات تخلفات گسترده و تقلب صورت گرفته است. در روزهای پس از انتخابات، مردم ایران با حضوردر خیابان ها اعتراض خود را به نتیجه اعلام شده انتخابات ابراز داشتند. واکنش خشونت آمیز دولت ایران به این اعتراضات تعداد بسیار کشته، صدها زخمی و بیش از هزار بازداشتی و ناپدید شده در پی داشته که در خطر شکنجه و اعدام هستند.
این اقدامات سرکوبگرانه از سوی دولت ایران، بی تردید نقض حقوق انسانی- مدنی مردم ایران و همه کسانی است که در گوشه و کنار دنیا به چنین ارزش هایی پایبند و معتقد هستند.
از زمان برپایی این انتخابات جنجال برانگیز تاکنون، صدها هزار نفر در چهل شهر اصلی جهان در پانزده کشور دست به تظاهرات زده اند. در روز شنبه، ۲۵ ژوییه ۲۰۰۹ ما بار دیگر این فرصت را خواهیم داشت تا پشتیبانی خود را از مردم ایران برای احقاق دموکراسی، آزادی و حقوق انسانی بطور همآهنگ اعلام کنیم.
چرا روز ۲۵ ژوئیه؟
مراسم تحلیف محمود احمدی نژاد بین دو تاریخ ۲۵ ژوییه تا ۱۹ اوت ۲۰۰۹ خواهد بود که به احتمال قریب به یقین با حرکت اعتراضی مردم ایران مواجه خواهد شد.
روز جهانی اقدام بر چه اصولی بنا نهاده شده است؟
احیای حقوق بشر در ایران و در هر کشور دیگری دغدغه و ضرورتی بین المللی برای صلح و امنیت در جهان است.
حقوق بشر در ایران با همیاری جامعه مدنی تحقق می پذیرد که تداوم و پایداری آن نیازمند حمایت جهانی جامعه مدنی است.
دستیابی به این حقوق می بایست بدون مداخله نظامی و فارق از هرگونه موضع سیاسی صورت پذبرد، و اعلام همبستگی با هر فرد و یا جامعه ای که از حقوق بشرمحروم مانده باشد ضرورت اخلاقی عصر کنونی ماست.
حامیان روز جهانی اقدام هیچ گونه گرایش سیاسی نداشته و هدف آنها تنها پشتیبانی از مردم ایران و جنبش آنها در راستای احقاق دموکراسی، آزادی و حقوق مدنی است.
