Shared Mourning, Shared Oath for Freedom<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Salute to the martyrs of freedom. Salute to the grieving mothers and fathers who seek justice. At this moment, I stand with you, beside the mothers and fathers who know no day or night as they search for the pure bodies of their children. I stand with you, those whose hearts are set ablaze upon seeing the lifeless bodies of their beloved sons and daughters. I stand with the young women and men whose entire being is filled with rage and grief after losing a sister, a brother, a friend, or a fellow comrade in struggle. Khamenei\u2019s Revolutionary Guards and their proxies turned the streets into killing fields. They gunned down men and women, teenagers, and even defenseless children. They fired directly at protesters, at close range, with utter brutality, aiming at heads, necks, hearts, and eyes with live ammunition.<\/p>\n
