Transcript:
Hi! How are you?
I have been looking for my brother’s corpse for 40 years! The people of Iran have shed blood. The Islamic Republic is a usurper. Shame on Khamenei. Death to Khamenei. Shame on the filthy Islamic Republic of Iran. Our brothers were killed. Islam has only brought us misery. Death to Khamenei. Death to Khamenei (inaudible) the criminal. Long live freedom. Long live the people of Iran.
Down with the Islamic Republic of Iran
Freedom for Iran
Do you think these disagreements [among the protesters] is going to get in the way of people uniting?
Without unity, we’ll have no results. They have been ruling over people for 40... 39+ years [since the 1979 Islamic Revolution]. If our people don’t have unity, how can we support the young [protesters in Iran]? It’s up to you and me. We have to unite in our beliefs. As one.
Do you think these reformists are in the same camp as the hardliners?
Everyone replies: They are all the same, they are all together!
When people have had it up to here, they bring in the reformists to give people false hope. So that people calm down.
The people have risen in Iran (inaudible) they want freedom. They want a secular government. They want to have a humane life. They don’t want to be hungry. They want equality between women and men. They want to overthrow the Islamic regime. I’m here to support them.
When you say they want a secular government, and that they want to remove the Islamic regime, do you really think that this is something that many [in Iran] are saying?
[Yes] because when I see - in the protests in Iran - when some chant Allahu Akbar, the people respond “shut up, shut up.” That is so important. Nine years ago, in the 2009 protests [in Iran] (AKA the Green Movement) there was no such thing. This is a new movement. It's humanist. The people want to put religion aside. They want to say we are hungry; we want food, we want freedom, we want equality. If someone says Allahu Akbar, they respond “shut up.”
Today, the Islamic republic is shouting and says that Western governments are supporting the people in these protests. They [non-Iranians] need to show them that Western governments didn’t bring the Iranian people into the streets. This is the voice of the people [of Iran], this is the spontaneous movement of the people [of Iran], that’s what brought people out [into the streets].
I will break your phone.
