Excerpts of the speech of Ken Blackwell<\/a>, Former US Ambassador to the UN Human Rights Commission, at the Free Iran 2022, is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madame Rajavi<\/a>, fellow freedom fighters and ambassadors for human rights. We\u2019re at a moment for choosing will, in fact, we cave in to the darkness of our time and this regime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A regime that our previous speakers and allies have correctly branded as corrupt and purveyors of crimes against humanity, or will we in fact challenge the darkness of this regime?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know throughout human history that those who would do evil love the darkness. The moment for choosing is upon each of us as individuals. Will we take that inherent light of human dignity that has unpenching quest for freedom? Will we take that light and put it under a bushel? Or will we, in fact, put it on a candlestick?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
