December 2022

Below is Roza Rozbahan's speech about the ongoing "Women, Life, Freedom" movement in Iran on Dec. 20 2022, to members of the Canadian Steel Workers Union Local 1998

The left party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) is with the call of December 19, 20 and 21. We invite groups supporting the movement to participate widely in these three-day protests. In these three days, it should be shown that the revolutionary movement is still alive, dynamic and capable, and executions, killings and creating fear have not weakened the will of the forces of the revolutionary movement.

Hereunder the Message of the Internaonal Commisssion of the Left Part of Iran (People's Fedaian) to the 7th Congress of the Party of the European Left (EL)

The 7th Congress of the Party the EUROPEAN LEFT was held in Vienna from December 9th to 11th. The Congress passed a resolution with 95.9 percent of votes in solidarity with the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement in Iran

We expect the member states of the United Nations, which are committed to the declaration of human rights, to condemn the violation of the principles of the declaration of human rights by the Islamic Republic regarding the citizens of our country and take a clear stand against the recent arbitrary executions.

The Left Party of Iran (People's Fadaian) calls on women and men, workers and office staff, university and school students, professors, doctors, nurses, athletes, artists, marketers and every freedom-loving person who is fed up with the violence of the Islamic Republic to raise their voice of protest.

The left party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) calls on the fighting compatriots inside and outside the country to make their voices louder on December 10th, Human Rights Day, wherever they are. The Islamic Republic intends to destroy the lives of defenseless people, especially those arrested. Let us not let it achieve its inhumane goals. Let us not forget that every voice has an effect and if the voices are tied together, the interconnected voices produce a tremendous force that can end the life of the corrupt and autocratic regime of the Islamic Republic forever.

In the last three months, the Islamic Republic has arrested and imprisoned at least 18,000 people. It has killed around 470 people in the streets, including sixty-four children. A large number of these dead, wounded and arrested are women. Many of them are young boys and girls who should study in a normal society and gain knowledge and experience to "prosper their country". But the regime of the Islamic Republic is alien to knowledge and progress, to happiness and creativity and everything that has sign of life.

The uprising in Iran has entered its third month, with no end in sight. At issue is democracy and human rights, not religious dogma . This uprising is for life, for democracy, for human rights, for gender equality and for equality of each individual Iranian, regardless of their ethnic or religious affiliation.

Will they be successful in transforming this peaceful democratic movement into a sectarian civil war? The Iranian diaspora - and the international community - can play a role in keeping it peaceful and democratic.
