I just thought that it will be a nice idea to post the info here too.

I got a message from the group today, if it is correct then the mails/phonecalls to the Bayerischer Hof already had some effect:

"I had a phone call with the assistant of Ms. Volkhart, Mr. Meffert:

They expressed regret for the event in their house.
"We didn´t know what one is letting oneself in for", he said to me.
It was a mistake of them, that they didn´t gather information about the regime in Iran, he also said.

He promised, that they´ll never organize any event for the Iranian Consulate!

The huge problem at the moment is for them to cancel the dinner:
Because of a "banquet contract" with the Iranian consulate which sais, that they are just allowed to cancel the dinner 1 week before.
If the "Bayerischer Hof" contravenes the regulations of this contract, they may become indicted.
The lawyers of the "Bayerischer Hof" are considering the contract and the possibilities of getting out of it, at the moment.
I´ll resive a phonecall and an email, when they have any news.

This is just what they told me."

I received the following in reply to my protest email from today. It mainly says that since it was announced as a meeting of Iranians living in Germany (95% physicians, engineers and graduates) they didn't feel forced to reject the booking.
And now it is too late to step back.

Quote:

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

unser Haus pflegt zu den Konsulaten aller international anerkannter Staaten gute Kontakte und wir verhalten uns stets politisch neutral.

Unseren Informationen zufolge handelt es sich bei der Veranstaltung in unserem Hause am 13. März um ein "Zusammentreffen der in Deutschland lebenden Iraner".
Dieser Gästekreis setzt sich lt. Aussagen des Veranstalters zu 95 % aus Ärzten, Ingenieuren und Hochschulabsolventen zusammen, wir sahen daher keinen Grund, diese Veranstaltung abzulehnen. Nach eingehender Überprüfung ist uns zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ein Rücktritt von dem geschlossenen Vertrag leider rechtlich unmöglich.

Jedoch möchten wir uns für Ihre zahlreichen Anmerkungen bedanken! Bitte lassen Sie sich versichern, daß wir Ihre Ansichten respektieren!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Innegrit Volkhardt
