Petition Signers" Section, Below:
June Forsyth Kenagy (Signature Number 166)
Please, please, honor and recognize these two important figures who epitomize the values of diversity, inclusion, non-violence, and peace. Just suspend your posthumous-award regulation for this ONE instance. It is so important that these two giant figures receive the recognition they are due:
Gandhi because his work for peace and justice through non-violence wasn't recognized in his lifetime, and
Mossadegh because the US CIA illegally overthrew his democratically-elected leadership before he could bring his country into the light of freedom, justice and peace, also through non-violence.
YOU [the Nobel Foundation] can help RIGHT THIS WRONG; please do so.
Thank you.
Joint Posthumous Nobel Peace Prize for Mossadegh and Gandhi:
Petition to Nobel Foundation
We, the undersigned, respectfully call on the Nobel Foundation to make a SPECIAL HISTORICAL EXCEPTION to its 1974 decision to stop awarding posthumous Nobel Prizes, and as soon as possible and appropriate, award a deeply deserved joint Nobel Peace Prize to the Late Iranian Prime Minister, Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh, and to the other giant hero of civility, the Late Mahatma Gandhi.
In supporting this timely initiative by the Mossadegh Legacy Institute (MLI), we are only seeking the Nobel Prize recognition that the "George Washington of Iran" and the great Mahatma Gandhi were unjustly denied while still alive; thus our requested Mossadegh and Gandhi joint Nobel Peace Prize need not necessarily include a monetary component.
برای جبران بخشی از یک بیعدالتی بزرگ تاریخی، امضا کنندگان این طومار [با پشتیبانی استاد نوام چامسکی در امضای شماره نوزده] از بنیاد نوبل میخواهند که نسبت به تصمیم سال ۱۹۷۴ خود استثنایی تاریخی قائل شده، و در اولین فرصت یک جایزه مشترک صلح نوبل پس-از-وفات را به دکتر محمد مصدق و مهاتما گاندی اعطا کند

Often times your choice for a Peace Prize is for placing faith in the potential for peace-making of an individual. This focuses attention. For the same reason we are requesting this Posthumous Peace Prize for Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. It will call attention to the shameful circumstances of his [overthrow, to] the blame therefore, and [to] the irreparable loss to his country. Someday, Peace and Justice will prevail!
Prof. Marc Pilisuk (9)
In my book, Who Benefits from global violence and War, I document the heroic stand of Mossadegh in trying to maintain use of Iranian resources for the benefit of the Iranian people.
Sam Koprak (14)
It's time to right, in spirit, an egregious historical wrong.
Robert Mulford (15)
It's an honor just to sign this petition. Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh and Iran were done a great injustice. That injustice continues today.
Adam Chimienti (18)
Dr. Mossadegh was a hero and should be remembered accordingly. I was fortunate enough to learn about this amazing leader years ago, but I'm always saddened how little Westerners know about this tragic history, especially in light of the horrendous policies enacted by Western leaders. These crimes against the people of Iran would surely not be possible if there were more awareness.

Prof. Noam Chomsky (19)
Glad to learn of MLI's very interesting, and timely, plans.
NOTE: Please note in our Home page Prof. Chomsky's full statement of endorsement for the Mossadegh Legacy Institute (MLI).

Justice should be done to restore the name of Prime Minister Mossadegh. He was a true humanitarian and one who stood up for justice for the Iranian people.
Prof. Mohssen Massarrat (32)
Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh is one of the few political personalities in the history of mankind who set up generally valid rules for uprightness, democracy, independence, freedom and national sovereignty.
Orang Kiyani (38)
Although I have no more respect for the Nobel Peace Prize, but I would see this as a chance for the Nobel Foundation to give itself a little bit of credibility.
P. John Anderson (46)
A Nobel Peace Prize for Mossadegh would not only be a powerful rebuke to the US and the UK for their despicable crimes past, but also to the current Iranian regime for its despicable crimes present.
Elizabeth Molchany (53)
A terrible injustice was committed against both Dr. Mossadegh and the Iranian people. The US had no right to remove him as leader of Iran, a democratically elected and beloved leader, a man who nationalized the oil industry because British Petroleum was cheating the Iranian people through their control of the country's oil. The US then thrust upon Iran a brutal dictator, the Shah, and continued to support him knowing he tortured, unjustly imprisoned, and stole from the Iranian population at large.
Dr. Amin Fekrat (74)
The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Dr. Mossadegh of Iran is long overdue. He not only awakened a nation to seek its rightful position among the family of nations, but also how to regain one's dignity among other nations by peaceful nonviolent means. Dr. Mossadegh belongs not just to Iran, but to the family of nations whom he inspired to stand up for their rights and demand to be treated as equal to others. Thus, he was more than a statesman. He was a leader who taught us democracy, freedom, human dignity, and above all, how to seek a life free from coercion, nationally or internationally. His legacy of freedom and human dignity would outlast us all for the generations to come.
Richard Forer (76)
As Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh's actions were motivated by a selfless dedication to improving the living conditions of the people his democratically elected government had the responsibility to serve. Accordingly, he courageously resisted the entreaties of special interest groups and foreign governments, whose immoral influence at the top echelons of government have always created havoc throughout the world, as is evident today when considering Israel's influence on American foreign policy. So I think Dr. Mossadegh should be honored with a posthumous Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his legacy, which demonstrates that freedom and democracy are possible anywhere in the world. Honoring the "Elder of Ahmad Abad" in this manner would also bestow dignity to the Nobel Prize Committee itself.

زنده باد کسانی که برای وطن خود از همه چیزمیگذرند
Long live those who sacrifice everything they have for their country.
Kaveh Ahangaran (98)
با دادن جایزه صلح به شادروان مصدق مقدار بسیار کمی ازاشتباه تاریخی خود را در کودتا علیه این مرد بزرگ و ملی و انساندوست جبران کنید
By awarding a Nobel Peace Prize to Mossadegh, may his soul rest in peace, compensate, just a tiny bit, for your historic mistake, namely the coup against this great national hero and lover of humanity.
Mark Stansbery (103)
Long Live IRAN, and Long Live Mossadegh's legacy! Stop all foreign sanctions, interventions, and meddling that brings disruption and discomfort to the Iranian people!
Ronnie Mitchell (106)
THIS would be a REAL award for a change!
Richard Kaiser (107)
I welcome this effort to seek acknowledgement and tribute that is long overdue. I hope those sworn to represent us feel the same way.
Stephen Sinsley (108)
As a member of Veterans For Peace (VFP) and Vietnam Veterans Against The War (VVAW), I am proud to sign this petition.
Dr. Ahad Rahmanzadeh (113)
Any participation (especially by the American people) in the process of nominating the ultimate symbol of freedom and sovereignty in Iran, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, for a Posthumous Nobel Peace Prize would be a historic opportunity, also for the world super power government of the United States, to demonstrate the American nation's good will. Relatedly, easing the inhumane sanctions against the Iranian people would be an act of nurturing understanding and empathy. Hence, the recognition of Dr. Mossadegh for such a prize would be a great symbolic act toward peace-building, regardless of whether it would actually be awarded or not.
Hedayat Bazafkan (121)Dr. Mossadegh is THE GREATEST man of Iran's contemporary history, and he is absolutely the most deserving person to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Ramin Azimian (137)
I am the composer of the Mossadegh ballad linked below. Its title in Persian is "ey baagh-ban" -- which means "O' Gardener [of the garden of civility.]" I am proud to sign this petition, and as my comment, I offer this song to Dr. Mossadegh, from the bottom of my heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
NOTE (April 12, 2013)
The first 145 signers of the petition endorsed it before today, when Gandhi was added to the petition's request.
Mohammad Mehraeen (148)
حق مسلم مصدق بزرگ را (كه اگر كودتا عليه او نكرده بودند وضعيت خاورميانه به این روز نمي افتاد) حد اقل پس از مرگش بدهيد، حتی اگر یک ذره انصاف داشته و به انسانيت معتقدید
If they had not committed a coup against Mossadegh, the Middle East would not be in this [horrible] situation today; so give this great man what he deserves absolutely, if you have even a tiny bit of fairness and belief in humanity.

J.T. Waldron (169)
Mossedegh has a rich history and a story that relates well to Gandhi's. They are much more credible candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize than Kissinger, Gore or Obama.
James A. Everett (173)
This sounds like a very worthy project that merits wide support.
Lillian Herz (176)
The Nobel Peace Prize award to the much loved and revered Mossadegh would greatly enhance efforts to promote a more peaceful attitude toward Iran on the part of Western interests. Mossadegh's story is important to recognizing historical truths. Thank you.
