Dear Nader and other friends,

It is a real pleasure to see Nader Oskoui post here
on IRANSCOPE.

I am sure many of the IRANSCOPE readers may know
Nader indirectly, but it may not hurt if I write a little note
here.

Nader Oskoui was one of the leaders of Confederation
of Iranian Students in 60s and 70s and he was one the
most thinkers of that student movement. Nader did his
PhD work at UCLA in those years.

After the 1979 Revolution, Nader was the editor-in-chief
of NedAy-e AzAdi in Tehran. That afternoon daily
was published in 1979 and 1980 in Tehran. It was a
sartAsari paper like Kayhan (of course not in its content:-).

NedAy-e AzAdi was an afternoon democratic and objective
journalistic daily more in the tradition of LeMonde. It was
first published in PeyghAmeh-Emrooz printshop,
and later was printed in the AyandegAn printshop.
Both those papers were published in the morning and
NedAy-e AzAdi being an afternoon paper was able
to share the same printshop with them.

It was one of the most interesting papers published
int he years of bahAr-e AzAdi. The paper was
one of the rare papers in those years to take a position
against the hostage-taking. I am not sure if any copies
of it are available in the Library of Congress or not.

NedAy-e AzAdi was shut down twice and its was
finally closed down for good in 1981 prior to the
executions in Iran.

It is a real honor to see Nader reading and posting
on the IRANSCOPE.

Best Regards,
- Sam
