Think Again Before Booking a Marriott Room!
The Marriot Hotel in Hamburg, Germany, agreed to host the Iran Business Forum that will help promote Iran-German business relations. The event explores, "“investment possibilities in the northwestern provinces of Iran,” undermining international economic sanctions leveled against Iran for their aggressive nuclear ambitions.
The event's keynote speaker is Iran's German ambassador, Sheikh Attar, who "represents a criminal regime that flouts international law in developing an illegal nuclear weapon, brutally represses its own people and is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism." Iranian Kurds and human right supporters said that Ambassador Attar supported a massacre against Kurds when he was governor of Kurdish and Azerbaijani provinces.
The group, United Against Nuclear Iran, wrote a letter to the Marriott executives and threatened, "UANI will take action against the Marriot hotel chain worldwide. UANI will call on its activists to peacefully protest your properties, and will call for a general public boycott of all Marriot properties."
Should the Marriott chain be held responsible for pursuing their own business interests over international concerns?
