2000 meter long green scroll


The Iranians in different cities of the world had started a symbolic movement a few weeks ago. In each city the people who wanted to object to what has happened during and after the election has signed a piece of green textile on which is written ''Ahmadinejad is not my president''. They have thought of sewing the pieces together later on, and hang it from a tall building somewhere in Europe. The Eiffel tower was the main candidate! But, since the length of the scroll has passed 2 kilometers, they have decided not to hang it from the top of the Eiffel, since it is just nearly 300 meters of height. So they will hang it between two monuments in Paris on 25'th of July between 7pm to 9 pm. One can watch the event live. A symbolic movement, but it help the people to be hopeful that the others haven't forgotten them.
