Full Majid Tavakoli's Speech in Tehran University 16 Azar December 7th 2008

Majid Tavakoli's speech at the University of Tehran on December 7, 2008. Majid Tavakoli was arrested on December 7, 2009 at Amir Kabir University by regime agents. This is the third time that Majid Tavakoli has been arrested.

Highlights from Majid Tavakoli's speech (in English):

A large portion of my talk today is addressed to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic and the heads of the government. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is so suppressive that our friends in Daftare Tahkim Vahdat (a student organization) asked me not to talk about the Supreme Leader and Mr. Khamenei, since he may visit the University of Science and Industry in the next few days. I apologize to everyone; we do not want self-censorship to find its way in the student movement, but we will accept the request of our friends.

Let us talk about the ills of our society and what has brought us together today: enmity with democracy, hatred of freedom, abuse of human rights, suppression of worker activists and teachers, expulsion of university professors from the university, exile of thinkers, intense media censorship, suppression of minorities, closing down newspapers and publications, turning the national media to a the mouth-piece of the government, acting cruelly to the women of the university, filling the prisons with free-thinkers, and torturing students and other prisoners in prisons.

Today, our society is the victim of the incorrect economic policies of an obstinate and oppressive government that has caused various harms on society.

Our country is overflowing with flattery, duplicity, the selling of people, and deception. If yesterday people such as Shaban Bimokh (commonly known as a thug who led his men against opponents of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, notably during the 1953 coup. In Farsi, bimokh means brainless) harassed our people, and undeserving rulers such as Mozaffareddin Shah (Shah of Iran between June 1, 1896 and January 8, 1907) and Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar (Shah of Persia from September 17, 1848 to May 1, 1896) sold national capital to foreign countries, today, the Shaban Bimokhs are under the support of the Mozaffereddin Shahs and Nasser al-Din Shah Qajars.

Selling the Caspian Sea in a cheap game with the Russians, sitting under the shadow of the Arabian Gulf, working hand in hand with obstinate oppressors such as Chavez, and receiving aids from Venezuela and Cuba, are among the things happening in our country today.

Today, students have trouble entering the university or even their own homes. We saw an example of this today with the gates and the fences, and the security officials surrounding the university. Despite the various security measures taken and the oppressive atmosphere, the university is still alive today. And this last barricade of freedom is today the host of the students loud cries for freedom.

Today, the most important mission of the student movement, along with all the beautiful ideals it has (freedom, democracy, human rights, justice, peace, the development and improvement of Iran, and the well-being and security of Iranians), is fighting despotism.

The student movement in Iran, just like 1953 and 1979, and in the entirety of its existence to this day, should stand against governing despotism and oppression. Oppression is oppression, whether it is under the sovereignty of the monarchy or the sovereignty of a Supreme Leader.
