On Friday, the Capitol Grounds of the United States became the site of a striking tribute and protest by Iranian-Americans who gathered to honor fallen heroes of Iran\u2019s freedom movement and to condemn all forms of dictatorship\u2014be it monarchical or theocratic. The event, organized by members of the Iranian American Community (OIAC<\/a>) and supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>), featured a poignant photo exhibition and a candlelight vigil.<\/p>\n
