On Saturday, October 25, an eight-hour international youth gathering titled “Free Iran 2025” brought together young supporters of the Iranian Resistance from across Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia. The meeting, held in the presence of NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi on the eve of the anniversary of Iran’s November 2019 uprising, was linked live to simultaneous youth assemblies in Bonn, London, and Zurich. Political figures from several countries also joined online as observers. Over the course of the event, speakers from 32 youth associations — athletes, engineers and technical specialists, lawyers and legal experts, doctors and medical staff, students, academics, researchers, families of slain activists, and young participants in the 2019 and 2022 protests inside Iran — took the floor. The message repeated throughout the day was that Iran’s younger generation sees itself not as an audience to politics, but as an organized force for change. In her keynote address, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi declared that “the people of Iran and the Iranian Resistance have reached an extraordinary moment in history.” She said destiny now “knocks at the door, calling upon us to fulfill our great historic duty and rise up for freedom.” She saluted the “rebellious young generation” whose courage and organization would “bring down the tyrannical rule of the mullahs.” Mrs. Rajavi cited the November 2019 uprising that erupted in 200 cities, where protesters targeted more than 1,890 centers of repression and over 1,500 demonstrators were killed. She reiterated that the regime now faces its most decisive phase: “Either the continuation of this regime, or a democratic revolution — either the rule of the mullahs’ Supreme Leader or a republic founded on the people’s vote.” https://tinyurl.com/ykscwuea

On Sunday, October 26, Leila Aliramaii, a 40-year-old Kurdish woman from the village of Bisaran and resident of Hejrat district in Marivan-Iran, was shot dead in broad daylight by Keyvan Basami, an official member of the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Basami opened fire with a Kalashnikov rifle, killing her instantly. Leila was the mother of two young children, who were at school at the time of their mother's murder. According to some reports, the murderer’s motive was Leila's refusal to submit to the vile demands of the IRGC member. Basami, who is married to two women, has a documented history of domestic violence against both of his wives. One of them had already filed for divorce, and her case was still under judicial review at the time of the murder. https://tinyurl.com/5n7zx9xb
