Saba Rezaei: Fighting for a Free Iran – Free from the Shah and the Mullah:
On Saturday, October 25, Free Iran2025 Youth Gathering was held in London, Paris, Bonn, and Zurich with a large turnout of young supporters of the Iranian Resistance. Representatives from over 30 youth associations from various fields shared their perspectives. This conference, held on the eve of the anniversary of the November 2019 uprising and attended by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, featured a speech by Saba Rezaei on behalf of the European, American, Canadian, and Australian Youth Communities and Associations:
We shall, we can and we must.
We refuse to trade one dictator for another wearing a crown. Monarchy in Iran has always meant oppression, patriarchy, and a system built to protect its own power while the people suffer. A crown will not free us. A crown only serves itself. No King or so-called king past, present, or future, can deliver the democracy that the people of Iran deserve. The same structure that enabled the Shah’s brutality would only empower new forms of control, new relationships with the IRGC, new excuses and reasons to silence, to imprison, to punish, to kill.
Our fight is not for a crown; it is for a Free Iran. Free from Shah and free from Sheikh. Our fight is for a just democratic-secular country where no individuals stand above the nation. A country for the people, led by its people, led by a tireless vision set forth by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi herself. A never-ending hope. We shall, we can, and we must. Thank you.
