1 - Who does Reza Pahlavi represent? As far as the monarchical dictatorship is concerned, the Iranian people have already expressed themselves, in 1979, with the Revolution, and today, for six months:
#No2ShahNo2Mullahs
#IranRevolution
@HJS_Org @DamianCollins @TheOxStu

2 - one of the main slogans of the protesters in Iran is 'Down with the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Supreme Leader [Khamenei]'. #No2ShahNo2Mullahs #IranRevolution

3 - Reza Pahlavi never condemned the crimes of his dictator father, nor the executions of dissidents carried out by the monarchic dictatorship, nor the torture perpetrated by the notorious SAVAK. #No2ShahNo2Mullahs #IranRevolution

4 - And of course, he did not condemn the fact that the photograph of Parviz Sabeti, SAVAK's top leader, is raised next to his own, in which he is referred to as the 'King of Iran', at rallies organised by his supporters. #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

5 - Below are some examples of the activities carried out by the Shah's SAVAK. nytimes.com/1979/06/18/arc…

6 -Reza Pahlavi has repeatedly admitted in public that he is in contact with repressive IRGC and Basij forces in #Iran. I invite you to watch the following video:
#No2ShahNo2Mullahs

7 - In light of the explicit demands of the Iranian people, and the positions, track record, and conduct of Reza Pahlavi, it is clear that he represents nothing more than the dictatorship that was deposed in 1979. #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

8 - Reza Pahlavi is in no way the representative of the Iranian people, who are instead demanding and sacrificing their lives to achieve freedom and democracy. #No2ShahNo2Mullahs #IranRevolution
