Four members of the 'Mahsa Charter' issued a joint statement declaring that although 'the current circumstances have made continued solidarity difficult,' they will make their 'continued unity' a 'foundation for future efforts.' Shirin Ebadi, Nazanin Boniadi, Abdollah Mohtadi, and Masih Alinejad stated in a joint declaration published on Ms. Ebadi's Telegram channel: 'Four months ago, we joined together from various backgrounds and political spectra, driven by our belief in the goals and ideals of the Women, Life, Freedom revolution, and in response to the public's expectation for the establishment of a coordinating center, we gathered around the Mahsa Charter.' They emphasized: 'We had no goal other than to assist the movement within, promote the spirit of plurality and diversity, strengthen cooperation and solidarity, which were important messages of this revolution, and to convey the voice of the people's freedom-seeking movement to the world.' According to the signatories of the statement, their aim is 'to help the people achieve their main demand, which is a free ballot box to determine their desired government, and to attain freedom and justice and enjoy a human life based on human rights principles.' These four activists opposed to the Islamic Republic also added: 'We wanted, and still want, to fulfill our share in serving these noble and humanitarian goals.' They stated that 'the current circumstances have made continued solidarity difficult,' but said: 'However, we will make our continued unity a foundation for future efforts. The Mahsa Charter has arisen from the heart of the Women, Life, Freedom revolution and will not lose its meaning until its victory.' Prince Reza Pahlavi announced on April 11 that he has 'not limited himself to supporting and cooperating with a single group' and will continue to maintain 'neutrality towards all groups while being a supporter and encourager.' Hamed Esmaeilion, another member of the 'Mahsa Charter,' also announced on April 21 that he has left the 'Solidarity Council' and remains focused on 'overthrowing the Islamic Republic.'
