Democracy advocates support Prince Reza Pahlavi to lead the transition period

Democracy advocates issued a statement supporting Prince Reza Pahlavi to lead the transition period after the Islamic Republic.

A large number of pro-democracy Iranians from various political spectrums issued a statement yesterday, Sunday, July 13, equivalent to July 22, titled “Pro-democracy Collective Support for Reza Pahlavi to Manage the Transition Period” in Persian, English, German, and French. In this statement, they announced the launch of a campaign against division and the widespread unity of Iranians with the aim of overthrowing the criminal and destructive regime of the Islamic Republic.

The statement began with the line “Who wants you and I not to be us” from Hamid Mossadegh’s famous poem “Blue, Gray, Black.” The democrats wrote in the statement: “He who fears the power of the people, he who rules by division, he who sees his survival in our separation, is the criminal and destructive regime of the Islamic Republic.”

They continued the statement: “If we have reached this common truth today, there is no longer room for silence and doubt. We can no longer remain on the sidelines, because this regime now stands in its weakest, most unsupported, and most unstable position in the past four decades, and we are on the verge of a historic decision.”

In this statement, while referring to the unity of the people at this fateful moment, it is emphasized that: "If we do not unite at this fateful moment, if we do not turn our will into action, this rotten government will rebuild itself again. We must become one voice, one desire, one will. Let us put aside individual, partisan, and ideological differences and, with awareness, courage, and empathy, pave the way for liberation. This is our call to all those who still believe in the light: to those who prefer freedom to any expediency. To those who seek to rediscover Iran not in the past, but in a bright future. Our proposal is clear: support Mr. Reza Pahlavi."

In the aforementioned statement of support, the democrats explained the reason for their proposal to support Prince Reza Pahlavi for leadership after the transition period from the Islamic Republic and achieving a free Iran as follows: "With a realistic understanding of the country's multi-layered crises, he has accepted the heavy responsibility of the transition period and, by proposing a 100-day program based on guaranteeing human rights, separating religion from the state, and preserving Iran's territorial integrity, has presented a national, modern, and humane framework for a peaceful transition from the existing order. Supporting this path means beginning to rebuild trust, meaning laying the groundwork for the formation of a national interim government based on the sole criterion of legitimacy, the free vote of the Iranian people."

In this statement, they described the future of a free Iran for all Iranians as follows: “1. Iran’s honorable return to the international community 2. Opening the doors to the economy and investment 3. Informed participation of the people in determining their own destiny 4. Rebuilding the educational, judicial, social, and environmental systems 5. Revival of culture, art, and wisdom among future generations 6. Realization of complete equality of rights for all citizens regardless of religion, creed, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.”

The authors of the statement wrote about the people's responsibility for a free future: "Democrats, intellectuals, and civil activists have a heavy but glorious duty: not to be mere spectators, but to become the builders of tomorrow. This is the moment of transition from watching to action, the moment of rising up; a free Iran will be the home of all its loyal children of every language and color, religion and belief, lineage and experience."

At the end of their statement, they called on the people to join the “New Wave of Freedom and Reconstruction of Iran.” 134 people from different countries are among the signatories of this statement, whose names are as follows:
