She expressed deep admiration for those who risk their lives for human rights and dignity, noting the powerful, unspoken resolve visible in their eyes and actions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof. S\u00fcssmuth highlighted the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity, drawing inspiration from the resilience and solidarity demonstrated by the Iranian Resistance. She urged continued support and participation, reinforcing the shared commitment to ending oppression and achieving freedom and peace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Addressing the significance of the day, S\u00fcssmuth praised the leadership of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a> and the courageous efforts of those at the forefront of the resistance.

Persecuted Iranians have been engaged in a passionate struggle for years to save those who are oppressed, persecuted, and murdered in their country. They are tormented and killed because they stand up for the human rights and dignity of all those affected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And they do not give up; they live by their convictions, and their commitment often speaks more through their body language than through spoken words. Look into their eyes if you have the chance; they radiate strength and tell us what people can achieve: the will to be free, endurance in the storm of persecution, solidarity, and many other sources of motivation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More footage<br \/>2-Grand rally in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Berlin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Berlin<\/a>, June 29, 2024: Freedom-loving Iranians and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MEK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MEK<\/a> supporters demand for regime change and support <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MaryamRajavi4FreeIran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MaryamRajavi4FreeIran<\/a>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran2024?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran2024<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran10PointPlan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran10PointPlan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fyzvusr6jQ\">pic.twitter.com\/fyzvusr6jQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Iran Freedom (@4FreedominIran) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/4FreedominIran\/status\/1808411247609581894?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From a central place in Berlin, we shout to you, we are with you, we stand by you, and we are strengthened by your example.
