Quote: Great article Dave L.  seems terrible how much suffering is endured by these brave individuals (who are labelled as "rebellious left, communist, rebells, etc" (plus so many of their supporters should be shot/killed) when all they were doing was trying to get some basic human rights acknowledged by their current regimes. Their worst crime - is that they were way ahead of their time. It is nice to see that they are (at least) acknowledged for their accomplishments on their nations banknotes posthumously.

Just picked up this one. Can't figure out why it is so hard to find Iranian notes right now.
