Iran protesters: the Harvard professor behind their tactics
Summary
A Christian Science Monitor report by Scott Peterson on Gene Sharp, the retired Harvard scholar of nonviolent resistance whom Iranian authorities blamed for the 2009 post-election unrest. Farsi downloads of his manual surged in June. Mohsen Sazegara, a Revolutionary Guard founder now in Virginia, spreads Sharp's ideas through daily videos and Farsi translations on his website. He stresses the Green Movement's strict nonviolence, mentions death threats, and says thousands of young Iranians would carry on without him.
