Bill Clinton: World community to continue supporting people of Iran

The world community is a witness to the courage of the Iranian people and will continue to support them, former US President Bill Clinton said in a video message, Report informs.

“I have been in awe of the courage the Iranian people have shown particularly the brave women and girls as they fight for their freedom. This fight is about more than headscarf. It’s a fight for basic rights. The right to speak to assemble freely. The right to appear unveiled, the right for equality before the courts of law, the right to realize the dreams you hold so dearly for themselves and their children. The right to a future they can chart. I join calls from all across of the international community for the Islamic Republic to immediately stop the abduction of the protestors and to release all the political prisoners, many of whom require urgent care and many more whose whereabouts are unknown,” he noted.

“To the people of Iran: the world is witnessing your courage and we will stand with you for as long as it takes to achieve your freedom.

To the international community: the Iranian people need us. They want to be part of our global community. Iranians are educated, highly industrious, creative and sophisticated. They want normal relations with the West and they deserve our support,” he added.
