Funded 2009-2010
SIDME is a non-profit, grassroots collective of students and community members aimed at raising awareness about Iran’s civil rights and democratic movement. Founded in July 2009 in Edmonton, AB, in solidarity with the Green Movement, SIDME supports the Iranian people’s struggle for democracy and human rights. Since its founding, SIDME has hosted various lectures and panel discussions (in both English and Farsi), as well as photo exhibitions, film screenings, and poetry nights, educating the University of Alberta community and the broader Edmonton community about the state of human rights in Iran and about the Iranian civil society’s movement towards civil and political rights.
