Found on the CASMO Site

I must have been busy on February 12, the 32nd anniversary of a black day in Iran's--and mankind's--history. Otherwise I would have been at this one fer shure:
Feb 12 2011 - 32nd Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution
On the 32nd Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, a conference on "Global Peace in the Age of Imperialism" was held at the Islamic Society of York Region,Stouffville Ontario. The speakers were Cynthia McKinney (former US Congresswoman), Phil Wilayto (Author and American peace activist) and Cuban Ambassador in Canada.
Wow. The event managed to attract quite the crowd. FYI, McKinney's the one dressed up a la chick street wear in Teheran. Phil Wilayto (don't know how, as an American, he comes to be a Cuban diplomat) is involved in an outfit called Campaign Against Sanctions and Intervention in Iran, whose acronym, CASMII, is eerily reminiscent of CASMO.  (Memo to guy with glasses in photo #30: dude, love the furry chapeau. Hey, dare to be different.)
