Iranian Pro-democracy Community

My fellow compatriots, this Freedom Prize belongs to you. You have earned it with your sacrifice, courage, and dedication to liberty. I was honored to stand with tens of thousands of you in Frankfurt. Soon we will stand side by side in a free Iran.

هم‌میهنانم، جایزه آزادی متعلق به شماست، شما که شجاعت، آگاهی، فداکاری، و ایستادگی‌تان بی‌نظیر است. من افتخار این را داشتم که در فرانکفورت در کنار ده‌ها هزار ایرانی شریف بایستم و این جایزه را به نمایندگی از ملت بزرگ ایران دریافت کنم. روزی که دیر نیست در یک ایران آزاد کنارتان خواهم ایستاد و این جایزه را که نزد من امانت است به شما خواهم‌ سپرد.

My dear compatriots, I have come to Brussels today to bring your message and your demands directly to Europe’s leaders, lawmakers, and public, the voice of a nation that has stood courageously and steadfastly against the Islamic Republic’s repression and violence, and has refused to surrender to this criminal regime. In its latest disinformation campaign, the Islamic Republic attempted to prevent you from joining the “Barkhiz Iran” Telegram bot by spreading false information. That effort also failed. Within a short time of its launch, we received hundreds of thousands of messages through the bot from across the country, from students, teachers, and doctors to workers, soldiers, police officers, and people from every walk of life. We launched this initiative to establish direct, two-way communication with you. The extraordinary response carries a clear message: the will of the Iranian nation cannot be broken. Our nation, in all its diversity, seeks liberation from the Islamic Republic, and is fighting and making sacrifices to achieve it. The Iranian people do not fear this regime. On the contrary, it is the Islamic Republic that fears the power of a united Iranian nation. It is the regime’s missing leader who is hiding from the people, too afraid even to make his voice heard. You, my proud compatriots, have once again demonstrated that, contrary to the regime’s propaganda, you are neither exhausted nor hopeless. Your belief in victory is stronger than ever. I am proud of your courage, resilience, and loyalty to Iran. During the most difficult days, you have remained faithful to your pledge to our homeland. I, too, remain faithful to my pledge to you: to secure Iran’s freedom and restore its pride. Once again, I call on every compatriot who believes in overthrowing the Islamic Republic and building a free and prosperous future to join the National Cooperation Campaign to Save Iran. You can communicate directly with my team by scanning the QR code shown during live broadcasts on Iran National Revolution TV and Iran International, or through the Telegram handle BarkhizIranBot. Be assured that protecting your security is the foremost priority for me and my team throughout this campaign. For ourselves and future generations, we seek a free, advanced, and proud Iran, an Iran that will once again reclaim its rightful place in the world. I believe in this future because I believe in you and your unbreakable will. The light of Iran will prevail over the darkness of the Islamic Republic. Long live Iran. Reza Pahlavi
