On the eve of the New Year, the Left Party of Iran, relying on the international solidarity of progressive humanity and believing in its power to bring about change, congratulates all freedom-loving, egalitarian, and peace-loving people on this New Year. We hope that in the New Year, wars will stop all over the world, especially in Gaza and Ukraine, and that humanity will be able to control the flames of wars in the world.

The Left Party of Iran calls on all social, trade union, and civil forces, parties, and political organizations that support the interests of different segments of the people to strengthen the people's struggle against poverty and deprivation and against the Islamic Republic, as the main cause of the current miserable situation, in every possible way.

The Left Party of Iran, like all those who fight for freedom, social justice, and human rights, condemns the execution of Aqeel Keshavarz. A regime that deprives people of their right to life cannot continue its shameful life. As a left-wing political party and advocate of freedom and democracy, we call on political parties, organizations, democratic institutions, and human rights activists to unite and make their voices heard against these crimes.

Let us note that the main target of the struggle is the Islamic Republic. This goal should not be overshadowed by dealing with the ugly and destructive actions of extremist forces defending the monarchy and Reza Pahlavi. The Islamic Republic, which is currently caught in multiple crises and fight against each other internally, is struggling to save its own life by diverting our struggle to get rid of this regime from its main goal. Let us be vigilant not to fall into this trap.

We respectfully urge you, and the relevant United Nations mechanisms, to call on the Iranian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Ms. Narges Mohammadi and all others detained for peacefully exercising their fundamental rights, including the right to mourn. We also ask that the United Nations to closely monitor the circumstances surrounding Mr. Alikordi’s death, the treatment of mourners, and the conditions of detention of those currently imprisoned.

Prior to these changes, the region’s conservative Arab regimes, as well as Israel, regarded the Iranian regime as their most dangerous and loathsome enemy. Now, however, Arab regimes recognise Israeli expansionism as their most serious threat

What will ultimately safeguard the country from both internal and external threats is the solidarity of its people and their continued, expanding struggle to secure their fundamental hum an and civil rights. The efforts of social movements to open political space and advance human rights are essential to bringing about the decline of the Islamic Republic
