The day will come when the exhilarating dawn of freedom will embrace the lives of the Iranian people: Freedom of expression, freedom of belief, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and freedom of clothing.
The day will come when life in the hell the mullahs have created will give way to life in a democratic society, so that everyone would have the right to part take in decisions about the most important political affairs of society; And, when the right to change the government is respected.

NCRI – Part 9 (Final) of the text of speech by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of resistance of Iran (NCRI) in the gathering of more than 70,000 Iranian exiles in Paris on June 28, 2008:
Dear Compatriots,
The ruling mullahs cry out that they will forever safeguard and maintain their absolute rule embodied in the velayat-e faqih.
Appeasers tell us that freedom is nothing but mere hope worthy of being forgotten.
The regime’s apologists claim that the people are too fatigued by experience to rise up once again and change the ruling regime. Using a taunting tone, they say that sacrifice and love of freedom are ancient relics. And, they say that those fallen flowers running with the wind all sacrificed themselves in vain.
But, we say that there is a certain energy and force in the Iranian society and its history. We say that there is a never-ending thirst in the oppressed, which is foreign to a world outlook of surrender, shame, and disgrace.
This explosion of locked energies and shackled dreams, and this irrepressible love for freedom will tear asunder and form a thunderous outburst, capable of shattering all barriers.
We believe in a power that no other power in the world can withhold.
Indeed,
We are certain of a great dawn.
The sky is lightening up bit by bit
And we see the birth of a sun which speaks of freedom.
The day will come when every Iranian will enjoy the right to freedom and security and all citizens are equal before the law.
The day will come when the exhilarating dawn of freedom will embrace the lives of the Iranian people: Freedom of expression, freedom of belief, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and freedom of clothing.
The day will come when life in the hell the mullahs have created will give way to life in a democratic society, so that everyone would have the right to part take in decisions about the most important political affairs of society; And, when the right to change the government is respected.
The day will come when instead of this scorched land, hundreds of flowers will blossom in Iran with the freedom of thought, parties, assembly, organizations and syndicates.
The day will come when cranes, from which people are hung, torture chambers and torture acts are all but frightening tales of the past.
The day will come when the horrific abyss of bigotry will give way to tolerance and understanding. No religion will be privileged. No one will be denied his/her right because of the belief or non-belief in a religion; And there is the separation of church and state.
The day will come when the world of suppression and discrimination against Iranian women will crumble and gender equality will steer the Iranian society towards a new world.
And that day is very close.
So,
“In the name of the Iranian people's happiness and prosperity and in order to contribute to world peace…”
To realize the ideal of June 20, 1981 and Operation Eternal Light in 1998,
I call upon everyone to expand the struggle for the overthrow of the ruling religious fascism.
The glimmer of dawn is before our eyes
We are advancing to toward the peaks of victory
Toward my homeland, Iran
This is the voice of the Iranian people
The mullahs must go,
They must go,
They must go.
