Yalda Night in Dallas
December 21, 2016
On December 17, 2016, members of the Iranian-American Community of North Texas (IACNT) gathered to celebrate Yalda, the longest night of the year. Persians have traditionally celebrated this night by reading poetry (Hafez), dancing and singing. Certain fruits are essential to this night. Traditionally, watermelons and pomegranates are served in such gatherings. Old Persians believed that if you could make it through the longest night of the year, you would overcome darkness and coldness of the winter and the sun will shine in the morning. For this reason, people stay up and celebrate darkness to go away!

November 29, 2016-- Published on washingtontimes.com

Crimes against humanity
IACNT- On Sunday, August 21, 2016, North Texans held a rally at Daley Plaza in downtown Dallas to commemorate the 1988 Massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran.
In the summer of 1988, while demands for political change were rising in Iran, Rouhollah Khomeini, issued a decree ordering the massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners, turning it into one of the bloodiest seasons in the history of Iran. A vast majority of the victims were members and sympathizers of the main Iranian opposition movement, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK). The prisoners were serving their sentences while the massacre took place. Mass graves were dug up overnight to bury the bodies; families were not notified of the executions for a long time and were never given the location of the burial site. In some cases, these mass graves were discovered by citizens living nearby.
