She emphasized the shared commitment to a historic slogan: <em data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1177\">\u201cNo to the Shah, no to the Mullahs \u2014 victory to the democratic revolution of the Iranian people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1701\">Reflecting on the brutal executions carried out by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/society\/who-was-mohammad-reza-pahlavi-shah-irans-last-pahlavi-dictator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shah<\/a>\u2019s notorious secret police, SAVAK, in 1975, she highlighted the execution of nine revolutionary prisoners \u2014 among them two PMOI members and seven Fedayeen. These martyrs, she said, symbolized the regime\u2019s desperation and its ultimate moral and political bankruptcy. She held the Shah and his chief executioner, Parviz Sabeti, responsible for these atrocities, drawing a parallel between the violence of the Shah\u2019s regime and that of the current theocratic rulers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1988\">Mrs. Rajavi paid special tribute to Commander Kazem Zul-Anvar and Mostafa Javan Khoshdel, whose courage under torture and resistance within prison saved fellow leaders and kept the resistance alive. Their sacrifices, she asserted, remain enduring symbols of Iran\u2019s revolutionary resilience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1990\" data-end=\"2370\">She then turned to the martyrs of April 19, 1972 \u2014 Nasser Sadegh, Ali Bakeri, Mohammad Bazargani, and Ali Mihandoust \u2014 whose courtroom declarations turned the tables on the Shah\u2019s regime and electrified a nation yearning for justice. Rajavi recalled how their words echoed beyond the courtroom, exposing the cruelty of the monarchy and laying the groundwork for future revolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2372\" data-end=\"2642\">The message also evoked the memory of <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/massoud-rajavi-mek-pmoi\/\" rel=\"\">Massoud Rajavi<\/a>, who, during a 1980 ceremony in their honor, emphasized the deeply personal and spiritual commitment required to walk the path of sacrifice for freedom \u2014 one not merely spoken of, but lived with heart, soul, and bone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2644\" data-end=\"3062\">Mrs. Rajavi underlined that the courage of these revolutionaries still shapes Iran\u2019s political landscape today. Their blood, she said, prevents the distortion of history and blocks any attempt to sanitize or revive the legacies of both the Shah and Khomeini. She reaffirmed that the crimes of the current regime cannot erase the brutalities of the past, nor can they halt the people\u2019s pursuit of a free and democratic Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3064\" data-end=\"3514\">Ending on a note of unyielding defiance and hope, Rajavi reminded the world that the Iranian people\u2019s resistance \u2014 spanning over 120 years \u2014 represents a historic stand against tyranny. With six decades of relentless struggle behind them, the people of Iran reject both regression and stagnation. Their goal remains clear: to establish a democratic republic based on freedom, equality, secular governance, and the Iranian Resistance\u2019s Ten-Point Plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3516\" data-end=\"3621\">In her final words, Maryam Rajavi declared, <em data-start=\"3560\" data-end=\"3621\">\u201cLong live freedom, hail to the martyrs.
