He described the recently executed PMOI members as &#8220;students of Massoud Rajavi&#8221; who &#8220;stood against both the Shah and the mullahs and broke the deadlocks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Marandi reflected on the &#8220;silence of solitary cells&#8221; he experienced in the 1980s, testifying that the &#8220;executioners of Khomeini&#8221; could not break the spirit of the PMOI members. He linked the current &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/pmoi-resistance-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a>&#8221; to the heroes of the past, stating that the sacrifice of today\u2019s youth in Tehran and Qom proves that the &#8220;ideology of egoism&#8221; has been defeated by a commitment to &#8220;everything for our oppressed people.&#8221; He concluded with a vow: &#8220;We swear by the blood of our companions, we stand until the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Reza Shemirani<\/strong>, a former political prisoner who spent over 4,000 days in the regime\u2019s jails, highlighted the symbolic evolution of Iran&#8217;s prisons. He noted that &#8220;Evin and Gohardasht&#8230; were built by the Shah and completed by Khomeini,&#8221; and pledged they would be &#8220;destroyed&#8221; by the revolution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shemirani addressed the unwavering stance of prisoners who remain steadfast. He challenged the notion that the era of idealism is over, pointing to the &#8220;courage of the Resistance Units&#8221; as evidence that &#8220;the spirit of the 1988 massacre victims lives on.&#8221; He reaffirmed his commitment to continue the struggle, stating, &#8220;We do not fight for power or share-seeking. What drives us forward is sacrifice for the people and freedom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Minoosh Mashhadi<\/strong>, representing the Iranian diaspora in the Netherlands, spoke on the regime&#8217;s &#8220;war against its own people&#8221; that has lasted over 40 years. She noted that while the world sees headlines about external wars, for Iranians, the enemy has never changed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mashhadi highlighted the conscious choice of martyrs like Vahid Bani-Amerian, who &#8220;could have signed a forced confession&#8230; but chose not to.&#8221; She called for the closure of the Iranian regime&#8217;s embassies in Europe, describing them as &#8220;instruments of the regime\u2019s repression&#8221; used to track and threaten exiles. She concluded by stating that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/plan-for-future-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ten-Point Plan<\/a> is not just a wish, but a &#8220;roadmap led by someone who has dedicated her entire life to making it a reality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mohsen Kasechi<\/strong> focused on the impact of the Resistance within Iranian society, where &#8220;mentioning the word PMOI requires courage&#8221; as it is the &#8220;reddest line of the regime.&#8221; He stated that today\u2019s youth have &#8220;mocked death&#8221; and brought the regime&#8217;s interrogation apparatus &#8220;to its knees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kasechi observed that the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/pmoi-resistance-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a>&#8221; involve &#8220;Gen Z and even Millennials,&#8221; proving that the spirit of sacrifice is &#8220;alive and reproducible.&#8221; He argued that the PMOI&#8217;s 60-year history has shown that freedom will not be won through &#8220;foreign wars or appeasement,&#8221; but through &#8220;the path of the Resistance&#8221;.
