A PERSIAN PIG (THE IRANIAN DISSIDENT) PROMOTES CIA FRONT NED 
Havel, dissidents and totalitarianisms
There are extraordinary human beings who of right ought never to die for their very existence is a ray of hope in the tragedy of life, writes Iranian activist and historian Ladan Boroumand (right). This thought came to my outraged and devastated mind when, on 18 December 2011, my fellow human-rights activist Igor Blaževic informed me of Václav Havel’s passing. Igor is originally from Bosnia, and a Czech citizen by adoption. His e-mail was full of sorrow. He knew Havel personally, and I could only measure his pain through the intensity of my own despair. Perhaps the shared grief and tears of the Bosnian refugee and the Iranian refugee reveal more about what Havel meant—and still means to all those powerless who have rebelled against a totalitarian rule —than could any words.The first and only time I met President Havel was on one of the many occasions when he used his prestige and glory to give a voice to the voiceless. It was 20 February 2007, at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Havel was there to receive the Democracy Service Medal (below) from the National Endowment for Democracy . For the occasion, he had asked NED to invite dissidents from different countries to share the floor with him and talk about their respective struggles for freedom. The event had been cosponsored by NED and the Library of Congress, where Havel was doing research.He came to the podium short of breath and looking frail. In a brief speech, he reminded his audience that they should be aware of the shortcomings of the very concept of “dissident” invented by the Western press, that “dissidence” is not a profession, for dissidents are men and women who have an identity of their own. They are scientists, workers, artists, what makes them dissidents is their determination to defend their dignity and fight for their liberty. And thus with elegance and subtlety, Havel reminded us that those who would speak that night were more than what they would be talking about. He was warning us against the reductionist mischief of our benevolent solidarity. At this point, when we were all thinking about the limitations of the concept of “dissident,” Havel shifted gears and said, not without irony and humor, that he had ended up adopting the word anyway, because “it was so practical.”
