Iran Outreach

The purpose of the Iran Civil Society Outreach (ICSO) Project is to enhance vigorous discussion concerning the future of democracy in Iran by engaging students, non-governmental organizations, academics, and others, both inside and outside Iran, contributing to a better global understanding of the needs and desires of the Iranian people as they seek greater liberty of expression and political engagement.

Amir Fakhravar, Research Fellow at IWP’s Center for Culture and Security, Secretary General of Confederation of Iranian Students, and President of Iranian Freedom Institute, discussed the prospects for freedom in Iran at David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend in Palm Beach on November 20, 2010.  Please click here to read a transcript of the panel with Mr. Fakhravar and Richard Perle, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration.
