ROTM featured on new compilation "AZADI: Songs of Freedom for Iran"


It’s been three years since the post-election uprising in Iran, and Iranians are still seeking democracy and human rights. More than 20,000 citizens have been arrested for peaceful dissent. Iran ranks first worldwide in per capita executions, and jails the most journalists. Activists and minority groups face threats, arrests and prison. 

United for Iran has collaborated with musicians from Iran, Egypt, Libya, South Africa, U.S., Palestine, Iraq, Sweden, Japan and more to produce AZADI: Freedom Songs for Iran. The artists have written and contributed songs of resistance and inspiration to create the first ever solidarity collection for the people of Iran.
