"How Tehran Became Tiananmen" By Nicholas G. Hahn III, November 16, 2007

" ... Amir Abbas Fakhravar founded the Confederation of Iranian Students and worked for regime change within the Islamic Republic. ...When I greeted Fakhravar at the airport baggage claim, I thought, and evidently hoped, that he would one day be able to greet me with the same exuberance at an airport in Tehran. I later discovered he was thinking the same thing––hoping to welcome his friends from the United States to a new, free, and prosperous Tehran. Upon his arrival to Chicago, Fakhravar was adamant about touring DePaul’s Student Center, the main student gathering on campus. As he walked through the building, I saw that the excitement in him was racing. The flurry of activity––open discussions amongst students and between faculty, student-manned information tables, the mass amount of student computers connected to the world at state-of-the-art internet speeds––this all seemed to fill Fakhravar’s heart with joy. Suddenly, he stopped in front of a bulletin board used to advertise student events. He turned and looked at me different from ever before and pointing to the flyers on the board, he said, “This is our dream in Iran.” The diversity of ideas on display lit up his eyes with a hopeful vision of the future for his country...."
