Patrick Kennedy: The Struggle for Iranian Freedom Is a Universal Human Cause

 Former U.S. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy delivered an impassioned speech expressing profound gratitude for the masterful leadership of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, who has successfully preserved the movement’s focus on democracy, tolerance, and human dignity despite profound personal and organizational suffering. Congressman Kennedy emphasized that a confident regime does not rush architectural and electrical engineers to the gallows, noting that the recent executions of MEK veterans like the 67-year-old Abolhassan Montazer reveal a deep-seated, paralyzing fear of another domestic uprising.

He lauded the organized network of internal Resistance Units, detailing how they successfully executed a series of coordinated, province-wide operations across 15 Iranian cities just last week, successfully hitting IRGC and Basij operational bases. Turning his focus to history, Kennedy directly challenged Western policymakers who condemn the current theocracy but ignore the brutal legacy of the Shah’s SAVAK secret police, arguing that the MEK maintains unmatched legitimacy because it has fought against both forms of tyranny for nearly five decades.

Kennedy stated that the Ten-Point Plan offers a precise roadmap for free elections and an independent judiciary, concluding with an evocative reference to his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, asserting that the global struggle for Iranian freedom is a universal human cause.
