Serdar Y\u00fcksel, German MP, addresses an NCRI conference on May 31, 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On May 31, at the second session of the 2025 Free Iran Conference<\/a> near Paris, German MP Serdar Y\u00fcksel delivered an emotionally charged speech affirming his solidarity with the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for freedom, peace, and democracy. Speaking without prepared notes, Y\u00fcksel said he chose instead to absorb the atmosphere of the gathering and reflect on the lives lost over the last 45 years in the fight against tyranny.<\/p>\n

His thoughts, he said, were with the tens of thousands who have been killed by the Iranian regime since 1979\u2014men and women whose names must never be forgotten. Addressing the families of victims present in the crowd, he emphasized that their suffering imposes a duty on everyone to continue the fight for human rights.<\/p>\n

Y\u00fcksel declared that, in his view, the Iranian regime has never been as weakened as it is today. He described the current moment as a historic, perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meaningful change\u2014so that the sacrifices of past generations will not have been in vain.<\/p>\n

He contrasted the democratic freedoms enjoyed by European lawmakers with the dangerous, life-threatening conditions faced by those who engage in politics for Iran\u2019s future. Closing with a message of unity and resolve, Y\u00fcksel offered his full support to the Iranian resistance, stating plainly: \u201cYou have me on your side. Freedom. Azadi.\u201d<\/p>\n
