Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher support for Iranian people
Posted on | July 23, 2009 | No Comments
Ashton Kutcher is urging the U.S. government not to intervene in the crisis in Iran – because he fears a repeat of the Iraq war. Officials in Tehran are monitoring social networking sites including Twitter.com and Facebook following violent demonstrations over the controversial re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 12 June 2009.
Kutcher has taken to his Twitter blog to voice support for the Iranian people – and urge U.S. officials not to get involved in the uprising. He writes, “Considering how well fighting 4 freedom in Iraq went, I dont know that we should B jumping in2 this Iran deal. I think that truly the only people that can change things in Iran are the Iranians themselves and they seem to be speaking their minds now.”
The “Just Married” star, who has more than one million Twitter followers, is also advising fellow users of the website to change their IP address to one listed in the Iranian capital – to confuse officials monitoring bloggers.
And his wife Moore has also used Twitter to show her support for Iranian protesters: “My heart aches but I am inspired by the courage and strength of the Iranian people in the face of such opposition and adversity!”. (WENN)
