Madam Chair, I thank the minister for his comments today on the take note debate.
I recall that once the shah left Iran in 1979 and the Khomeini regime took over, there was a long difficult period in Iran with the theocracy that was running the country. However, I understand that in the last several years there has been a new group of people developing. The population is very young and well-educated. I think those two facts are something that most people, when they think of Iran, do not think about.
What are the prospects and what are the numbers of people who are actively protesting this regime?
