Reminds Me of a Song

Iran, wanting to keep the lid on abuse allegations stemming from the demonstrations that came after the election, is confiscating reports of rape, torture and all manner of human rights abuses. It reminds me of the song called "Voices Carry" by the music group Till Tuesday, that sings these lyrics "Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry, I try so hard not to get upset Because I know all the trouble I'll get" and that my friends is exactly what is happening in Iran and around the world. Coercion, threats and more violations of human rights to those that would dare to expose the perpetrators of all of these heinous crimes. Stand up, Speak up against human rights abuses! It is literally up to you, and me.
