(Daily Beast) We are Iranian activists who share the world's hope for a better future but believe that appeasing the Iranian regime will lead to a more dangerous world. This deal will provide up to $150 billion to our tyrants and theocrats. This money will not be spent on the Iranian people but rather to enrich a repressive regime. Thousands of activists continue to languish behind bars (including several Americans) and it is tragic that their release was not included in these discussions. Those who care about peace should help restore focus to the Iranian regime's brutal human rights records, its support for global terror and role in destabilizing the Middle East. More pressure should be applied to the regime, not less. One day when the Iranian people are finally free, they will hold an accounting of who stood on their side and who stood on the regime's.
