IBehrooz Karimizadeh, one of the prominent leaders of the student movement in Iran, who has recently been released after enduring over four months of imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Iranian security forces; Kaveh Abbasian, the spokesperson for the Freedom and Equality Seeking Students in Iran, who was subjected to months of persecution, are holding a public Press Conference in London.
