An Iranian student activist, now in hiding in Tehran, writes about the ongoing brutality in Iran and his wish that the West would react more forcefully: “But what do they do about it in the West? Some of the politicians behave as if nothing special has happened. One says the nuclear negotiation is the priority and another one politely asks the masters to deal better with the people. And some apologists pretend to speak on behalf of the people of Iran and ask the Western governments not to get involved in the condemnation of killings, calling it ‘interference.’ ”
