Paris, France –

As Iran continues to command the central position on the world stage, the head of a human rights group focused on that country says America's president, so far, is offering exactly the right response. Hadi Ghaemi (HAH-dee gahAYmee) is director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, headquartered in New York. He's in Paris today with Roxana Saberi, the journalist just recently freed from prison by the Iranian government. And he spoke with Hudson Valley bureau chief Susan Barnett about what he says is the birth of a movement.
