Excerpts of the speech of Professor Ivan Sascha Sheehan, The University of Baltimore, at the Free Iran 2022, is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madam Rajavi<\/a>, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, we gather today at a consequential moment in history. A moment when democracy itself is under attack around the world. We see it in Iran, where the tyrannical regime has visited violence on the Iranian people and denied their pro-democracy aspirations. And we see it in authoritarian regimes around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gather after a shameful decision by the Belgian parliament to return a convicted terrorist to Iran. We gather following a momentous decision by a Swedish court to convict and sentence the Iranian official for crimes against humanity and terrible acts carried out against members of the MEK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gather after two years of countrywide anti-regime protests in Iran. We\u2019ve heard their clarion calls for freedom, and their chance have been translated around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
