“We have been inspired by the young activists in Camp Liberty who have dedicated their lives to bringing freedom to Iran. I remember those who have lost their lives over the past few years when the Iraqi Forces at the behest of the Iranian regime attacked them. They include Saba, Hanif, and my own sister Asieh, who grew up in California Bay Area before she went to Ashraf. They made a conscious choice to fight for a better Iran. Today, Iran is a country of youth, with two third of the population under 30 years old, and it is this new generation that the mullahs are so fearful and know that this generation would play a key role to end this regime. The majority of the thousands murdered by the clerical regime in the 1980s were either high school or university students. Despite the gross injustices that youth had to endure, our message to Iranian people is, perseverance and hope. We will do every thing to ensure their voices are heard loud and clear all over the world. Our message to the Mullahs of Iran is simple: Your time is at an end.”
