On January 12, Simay-e Azadi<\/a>, also known as INTV, an Iranian opposition satellite channel, successfully hosted its 28th telethon, extending until January 15. Despite allocating dozens of phone lines for the initiative, individuals within and outside Iran faced prolonged wait times to participate and convey their support for the network dedicated to spotlighting the Iranian people\u2019s pursuit of freedom.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the 28th INTV telethon successfully raised $7.05 million. Simaye Azadi, a 24\/7 Persian-speaking TV network, operates solely on contributions and remains independent from any foreign government influence, making it immune to external intervention and fluctuating policies towards the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n

INTV broadcasts simultaneously on multiple satellite platforms<\/a>, including Express AM6, Hot Bird 13B, Hot Bird 13C, Eutelsat 7B, Eutelsat 7B, and Turkmen\u00c4lem.<\/p>\n

Gholam from the United States, who made a collective contribution of $10,000 said, \u201cThis telethon once again showed that supporters of this Resistance movement are countless. People are eagerly waiting in line for days to make contributions, and regardless of the amount, they do it with humility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Azar and Behzad<\/a> from Canada who contributed $1.5 million said, \u201cWe are making this contribution because we have witnessed how selfless members of the Iranian Resistance are and how every penny is used by the INTV to reflect the voice of the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI make a million-dollar contribution from my personal account and I feel proud because you connect us with the pain of our people inside the country and encourage us by showing the bravery of the defiant youth who challenge the regime\u2019s authority,\u201d Azar added.<\/p>\n

Simay-e Azadi, the pioneering and longest-standing Persian satellite network broadcasting from Europe, commands a substantial audience both within Iran and abroad. Operating independently and relying exclusively on public contributions, INTV has steadfastly combated the regime’s censorship and relentless interference for years, ensuring coverage aligns with the interests of the Iranian people and their Resistance.<\/p>\n
