Majid Tavakoli's Speech

Majid Tavakoli gave a speech on 16 of Azar at Amir Kabir University in Tehran. It was a big hit among the students, but not the regime. Reports say that he was arrested and has been tortured in prison. Here is his speech because the regime can jail the revolutionary, but it cannot jail the revolution:



Update Translation:

Today 16 Azar (7 December) .. it is OUR day .. STUDENTS day .. the most historic day of resistence by students against tyranny... a day dedicated to freedom seeking .. Today is a day to stand together against and yell on tyranny
(students chanting Death to Dictator ... Death to Dictator...)
My voice does not reach all of you ... if you could squeeze more ...
There are friends who on behalf of you want speak up to all dictators and autocrats of this country loud and clear. Meaning that we no longer accept tyranny
(students applauding ... students chanting "student will die but will not accept humiliation")
We shall speak thoroughly but first of all it is our duty, for the sake of 5/6 months of hard efforts by our people, for the sake of all this oppression .. all these tortures and and sexual abuse in prisons .. and all these issues .. it is our prime duty to gather once again in front of the entrace gates of the university and once again show our unity and solidarity .....
