   [Click here to tell the Warwick New York Hotel not to host Ahmadinejad, or callthe Warwick directly at 212-247-2700 to respectfully voice your concern.]NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--On Thursday, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) called on the Warwick New YorkHotel to reconsider hosting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Iranian delegationduring next month`s UN General Assembly. UANI has learned that the Warwick iscurrently in discussions with Iranian officials to host Ahmadinejad and hisdelegation for the second consecutive year. In a letter sent today to Mr. G. Paul LeBlanc, General Manager of the WarwickNew York Hotel, and Richard Chiu, President of Warwick International Hotels,UANI CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, called on the Warwick to reconsider itsdecision: By this letter, UANI and its supporters demand that the Warwick immediatelyreconsider its decision to accommodate the Iranian delegation and refuse to hostAhmadinejad. Incredibly, this would be Warwick`s second consecutive year hosting Ahmadinejadand the Iranian regime`s delegation. Warwick should recall that it clearly paidfor its decision to host Ahmadinejad in 2011 with lost business and negativepublicity, including news articles and video reports by CBS New York, AFP, NBCNew York, CNN, The Atlantic,Huffington Post,The Daily Caller,CBS Radio, and theNew York Post. The Warwick should not repeat this mistake in 2012. in 2011, at the same time that the Warwick was providing luxury accommodationsto the Iranian delegation, Ahmadinejad was delivering a speech before theGeneral Assembly in which he despicably claimed that the U.S. orchestrated theSeptember 11 terrorist attacks, condemned the killing of Osama bin Laden anddenied the Holocaust. Ahmadinejad`s remarks were so objectionable that membersof the U.S., EU, Canadian and other Western delegations were compelled towalk-out of the meeting in protest. Nevertheless, despite the widespread outrageengendered by his remarks, Ahmadinejad was welcomed back to the friendlyconfines of the Warwick upon the conclusion of his speech. Furthermore, in addition to regularly disseminating anti-American andanti-Semitic rhetoric, the Iranian regime continues to brutally abuse its owncitizens. In 2011, Iran reportedly executed 670 people, including quadruplingits rate of public executions. The Warwick`s unionized labor force may beparticularly disturbed by the regime`s treatment of labor organizers and unionmembers. According to Amnesty International, "independent unions in Iran arebanned, workers have few legal rights or protections, and union activists areregularly beaten, arrested, jailed and tortured." Iran`s Labor Code does notgrant citizens the right to form independent unions, despite Iran`s ratificationof the UN`s International Convention on Civil and Political Rights and itsmembership in the International Labor Organization. In light of Ahmadinejad`s past rhetoric and the regime`s record of persecutionand support of terrorism around the world, New Yorkers, and by extension allAmericans, will not look kindly on the Warwick if it provides Ahmadinejad withcomfort and accommodation during his stay in New York City. On July 30, UANI first called on the Warwick to not host Ahmadinejad and hisdelegation again. Last week, UANI announced that the San Carlos Hotel, the Loews Regency Hotel,and Preferred Hotel Group have agreed not to host Ahmadinejad, followingrequests from UANI. UANI has requested a response from the Warwick by September 6, 2012.
