FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 20, 2010 Contact: Kimmie Lipscomb, press@uani.com Phone: (212) 554-3296 UANI Announces Protest Against President Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Delegation New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) today announced a protest against President Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Delegation to be held on Thursday, September 23, 2010 from 2:00 - 6:00 pm. The event will be held outside of the Hilton Manhattan East Hotel on the corner of 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue, and will take place during President Ahmadinejad's speech on the floor of the United Nations. WHAT: Protest Against President Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Delegation WHERE: Hilton Manhattan East Hotel, Corner of 42nd Street and 2nd Avenue DATE: Thursday, September 23, 2010 TIME: 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm Regarding the protest, UANI President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, said: President Ahmadinejad and his regime are the world's leading state sponsors of terrorism; they defy international law in developing a nuclear weapon and brutally repress their own people. During this year's annual meeting of the UN General Assembly, UANI will join with its supporters to protest President Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Delegation. The international community should use this meeting of the UNGA to recommit its efforts to pressuring Iran to end its nuclear weapons program and comply with the IAEA. UANI last week launched an ad campaign that seeks to raise awareness of the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. The campaign includes kiosks and buses in Manhattan as well as a billboard in Manhattan. In September 2009, UANI called on all New York City hotels to refuse to host President Ahmadinejad and the Iranian delegation. As a result President Ahmadinejad was limited to the one venue that agreed to host him. Click here to learn more. Click here to view UANI's ads.

The prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran should concern every American and be unacceptable to the community of nations. Since 1979 the Iranian regime, most recently under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's leadership, has demonstrated increasingly threatening behavior and rhetoric toward the US and the West. Iran continues to defy the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Nations in their attempts to monitor its nuclear activities. A number of Arab states have warned that Iran's development of nuclear weapons poses a threat to Middle East stability and could provoke a regional nuclear arms race. In short, the prospect of a nuclear armed Iran is a danger to world peace. United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a non-partisan, broad-based coalition that is united in a commitment to prevent Iran from fulfilling its ambition to become a regional super-power possessing nuclear weapons. UANI is an issue-based coalition in which each coalition member will have its own interests as well as the collective goal of advancing an Iran free of nuclear weapons. The Objectives of United Against a Nuclear Iran Inform the public about the nature of the Iranian regime, including its desire and intent to possess nuclear weapons, as well as Iran's role as a state sponsor of global terrorism, and a major violator of human rights at home and abroad; Heighten awareness nationally and internationally about the danger that a nuclear armed Iran poses to the region and the world; Mobilize public support, utilize media outreach, and persuade our elected leaders to voice a robust and united American opposition to a nuclear Iran; Lay the groundwork for effective US policies in coordination with European and other allies; Persuade the regime in Tehran to desist from its quest for nuclear weapons, while striving not to punish the Iranian people, and; Promote efforts that focus on vigorous national and international, social, economic, political and diplomatic measures. UANI is led by an advisory board of outstanding national figures representing all sectors of our country.
