– Compatriots all over Iran showed at the forty-day ceremony of Mohammad Hossein and Mohammad Mehdi Karimi that the Iranian revolution is alive, and that the path of all those killed for Iran’s freedom will continue until the day of victory. Reza Pahlavi wrote that on Instagram on Thursday evening. Pahlavi is the crown prince of Iran and has lived in exile since the Iranian monarchy was abolished in 1979. In exile, he has consistently worked for regime change and democracy in the country. – Death to the dictator! Yesterday marked forty days since protesters Mohammad Hossein and Mohammad Mehdi Karimi were executed in Iran. According to Reuters, there were demonstrations in several neighborhoods of Tehran as well as in the cities of Karaj, Isfahan, Qazvin, Rasht, Arak, Mashhad, Sanandaj, Qorveh and Izeh in Khuzestan province. In a social media video published by the AP news agency, which shows several of the demonstrations, protesters can be heard shouting “We will go all the way to the overthrow of the regime” and “Death to the dictator”. Funeral ceremonies for people who have passed away are common in Iranian culture. Since the revolutionary movement following the murder of Mahsa Amini arose in September, the ceremonies have often developed into demonstrations against the authorities in the country. It was the same thing that happened in the chaos during the Iranian monarchy before it was deposed in 1979. The opposition unites The well-known women’s rights activist Masih Alinejad has also commented on the large demonstrations yesterday. – Iranians want to overthrow this regime. The world must support this revolution, was some of what she wrote on Twitter. On the same day, Alinejad announced that she, Pahlavi and long-time Amnesty Ambassador Nazanin Boniadi would attend the annual security conference in Munich together this weekend. DEFYING THE THREATS: Masih Alinejad has survived several assassination attempts. Nevertheless, she continues the fight for regime change in Iran.

And at the same time, for the first time, neither Iranian nor Russian officials have been invited. – Yes, democratic countries must mark a line in the sand against war criminals like Putin and Khamenei, and make it clear to them that they are not part of the club, Alinejad wrote to praise the decision. The news of the invitation to the conference comes just a week after the three regime opponents, together with Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi and four other opposition figures, gathered to mark a common front against the regime. The hope is to establish a political platform that can be recognized by democratic countries and act as a transitional government when the regime falls.
