It would help if you remembered that a few weeks ago, we passed a statement to the city council, which was very popular. It was important.

This statement, which was signed by the mayor and all city council members, showed our protest against the mullahs’ regime. We supported those who lost their lives for the right to freedom. What do you tell us about the pictures of Iranian youth that we see? It is said that men and women of Iran wanted to stand up for freedom and democracy.

The struggle of Iranian people for freedom and democracy is also the struggle of Pescara people. Our presence together with the mayor expresses the same thing that the city of Pescara was and is present when freedom and human rights are at stake. Long live freedom and democracy; long live free Iran.
