Drive to 25/Education Under Fire
Note: All the information presented in this post is from the Education Under Fire (EUF) website (link below).
Education Under Fire: EUF is a campaign developed to address the Iranian government’s denial of the right to education for ideological and religious reasons. In order to raise awareness and shine a light on the importance of defending Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (a guarantee of education as an inalienable right of every human being), a documentary by the same title has been created.
Drive to 25: You can make a difference in less than three minutes by taking the initial action called for in the open letter. Become one of 25,000 activists and urge Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Iranian officials to end their policies of discrimination.

Education Under Fire is produced by Single Arrow Productions and co-sponsored by Amnesty International. The 30-minute documentary profiles the growth, struggle, and inspiring spirit of the Baha´i Institute for Higher Education. Baha´is in Iran have been subjected to systematic persecution, including arrests, torture, and execution simply for refusing to recant their beliefs. They are also prohibited from going to college (and blocked from many professions).
