Simay-e Azadi, or INTV, an Iranian opposition satellite channel, held its 25th telethon on January 8, which lasted until January 12. Many Iranians, particularly from inside Iran, waited for hours to participate and express their support for the Iranian Resistance\u2019s cause for freedom.<\/p>\n

Simaye Azadi<\/a> (INTV), a 24-hour free to air satellite television station that broadcasts from Europe, has a massive following inside Iran and the diaspora.<\/p>\n

INTV has played a vital role in broadcasting images of the coronavirus crisis<\/a> and the Iranian regime\u2019s inhumane policies. This telethon was live on air for over 50 hours through four days, with over 100 telephone lines available for people to express their support. Iranians were also very active on the internet and social media platforms, including Telegram and Skype from inside Iran, rushing to the support of INTV and the Iranian opposition through all possible mediums.<\/p>\n

This telethon also portrayed the Iranian people\u2019s desire for freedom and showed another aspect of the Iranian Resistance\u2019s root in society.<\/p>\n

Members of the Resistance Units<\/a>, an internal network of People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>), and many more defiant youths called in during this telethon, expressing their support for the Iranian resistance.<\/p>\n

Despite their hardships inside Iran and under the mullahs\u2019 regime, and while grappling with the coronavirus outbreak<\/a>, MEK supporters and Resistance Units pledged to continue the struggle to overthrow the mullahs\u2019 regime.<\/p>\n

This telethon witnessed heartwarming yet moving calls by so many Iranians, particularly inside Iran. Many of those who contacted the program were suffering from illnesses, particularly the coronavirus. A man, identified as Farhad from Karaj near Tehran, contacted Simay-e Azadi and vowed to continue this struggle till the end, while he was breathing with great difficulty due to his lung infection.<\/p>\n
