December 8, 2003 - Iranian fans once again rose to support Michael

Late yesterday evening, around 30 fans of Michael Jackson gathered in Tehran to show their support for this music star and to express their anger at the recent accusations leveled against him. Holding the placards they had prepared, they chanted together in unison. On their placards, these messages could be seen: "Michael Jackson is 100% innocent." - "Leave him alone!" - "You’re not alone" - "Release the King of Pop." - "Before you judge me, try very hard to love me—go to your heart." - "Tom Sneddon is a vile, heartless person. Go back to hell." - "The one and only Sultan of Music: no one should suffer—especially our children." - "Michael, you silence our language." - "Number Ones is number one." - "The Sultan of Our Hearts" - "We love you so, so much, Michael" - "Thank you for your love and your miracle."
