Iran's 1979 Anti-monarchy revolution
Today is the 35th anniversary of 1979 Iranian anti-monarchy revolution. It is true that the 1979
revolution was diverted from its path but it has left a significant
effects not only in Iran, but elsewhere in the region. While the Iranian
people struggle against the current regime for freedom and democracy,
we celebrate the generation before us for their achievements. As Martin

oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. And the Iranian people
who have been oppressed for 35 years will embrace freedom.
