There are several "voices" here in the states. Several of them have written books. I saw one guy on CSPAN this weekend who used to be the publisher/editor of the Tehran daily paper. He was arrested and tortured for 6 years in Evin Prison. He's written a book called "Letters to My Torturer." He's basically doing what Reza is doing - making appearances, doing book signings and speaking out against the regime in Iran.

I don't know and haven't asked because I know what the answer would be about whether they are organized here in the states. Iran has agents here and all over Europe and South America looking for ex-pats who are former government officials or people like Reza. There have been several assassinations. He talks about it in his book - about how the governments in Europe look the other way - as long as it doesn't effect their citizens.
