Thank you. Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it\u2019s very hard to follow on this very, very moving piece of one of the victims, survivors, but let me nevertheless say that I came here by conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a former diplomat, I would probably add that I cannot counter-write each and every demand that\u2019s been made today or in the last two days. However, I\u2019m very clear in my support for JVMI. I think they deserve every support. And I think today\u2019s audience and today\u2019s events, 35 years after the massacres in 1988, bear witness to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n1- Joachim R\u00fccker @jrstoc<\/a> from Germany, President of the UN Human Rights Council in 2015, expressed strong support for JVMI @jvmifoundation<\/a>, acknowledging the significance of the event commemorating the #1988Massacre<\/a> after 35 years.#FreeIran2023<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/GT7lMMlMho<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Iran Freedom (@4FreedominIran) July 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>}
