In the name of the Pure Ahura, after me, as long as Iran lives, do not shed tears for my death. Bury me with an Iranian flag and write on my gravestone: Under this mound of earth, among bones more or less decayed, a heart still beats with love for Iran. So pause here and remember me with a kind thought. My deity is Iran, my faith is Iran, my God is Iran, yes, yes, everything for me was Iran. - So if you want to read a prayer for the peace of my soul, and thus grant me strength under the heavy burden of my sins, pray for the greatness of Iran: say 'Long live Iran!' and ask that Iran remains everlasting, so that when you wish, you can sacrifice for the permanence of Iran. Yes, always say 'Long live Iran!'... Speak it with your tongue, wish it with your heart, and show with your actions that you want Iran to endure. Fellow countrymen, friends, we are approaching the anniversary of July 9. The experience that etched itself on the heart of Iranian history on the dawn of July 9, 1387, was an experience that shook the wall of religious tyranny. A wall that, instead of being a refuge for the weary nation of Iran, under its shadow committed crimes, looting, and violated the political, economic, social, and cultural dignity, making the slaughter of intellectuals and thinkers a source of comfort for them. A wall whose builders targeted the lofty ideals of the nation with bullets and the most heinous insults. A shadow that brought the elevation of ideals to decline... And now the anniversary of the passionate defense of the honor and dignity of our sisters and brothers, and the gifts of the Pure God is near. The anniversary when Siyavash, Kaveh, and Arash the Archer once again manifested in the path of saving the land of Iran and whisper the truth of freedom into each of our ears. Now it is our duty to save the sacred land of Iran from the hands of the night worshippers and to support the dynamic movement of our imprisoned youth such as Ahmad Batebi, Amir Abbas Fakhravar, Kianoush Sanjari, and Kourosh Sahati and thousands of other freedom seekers. Let us bring freedom to those who, in the black holes of the regime, are constantly thinking of freedom and salvation for Iran. The Independent Student Movement of Iran invites all the noble people of Iran in advance to achieve the goal of freedom for our dear homeland. Let us remember this historic day and unite our voices so that we can uproot tyranny and once again open the garbage dump of history to these demons. Hope to see you on July 9, 1382. Iran never dies. The Independent Student Movement of Iran (Members: Amir Abbas Fakhravar, Ahmad Batebi, Kianoush Sanjari, Kourosh Sahati, Iman Samizadeh)
