“The pavilion of the Islamic Republic of Tehran is run by the accomplices of those who imprison women, torture minors and commit atrocities against anyone who dares to challenge the Islamic regime. We are committed to representing the liberal, democratic and national aspirations of the Iranian people”, they say by the Italy-Iran Association for democracy and freedom of the Iranian nation
A noose was hung this morning on the bridge of the Academy of Venice, by the Italy-Iran Association for democracy and freedom of the Iranian nation, as a sign of protest for the presence of the Islamic Republic at the Art Biennale. The initiative was promoted by the Iranian artists of the association, to underline that “the war of the dictator Ali Khamenei is not the war of the Iranian people, who wish to live in peace with other nations and who at the same time want to escape from international isolation provoked by the obscurantist regime born from the Islamic revolution of 1979”.

The protest
Thus, the young Iranians hanged every day by the Ayatollah regime for political crimes of opinion are remembered. “We cannot remain silent – states a note from the association – while the same people who have deprived millions of young Iranians of their freedom and civil rights move among the works of art of this thousand-year-old city, trying to propagandize the their medieval and repressive ideology. The pavilion of the Islamic Republic of Iran is run by the accomplices of those who imprison women, torture minors and commit atrocities against anyone who dares to challenge the Islamic regime Iranian people, following the line traced by the leader for the transition to democracy: Prince Reza Pahlavi, the leader whom young people in Iran cheer in the streets at the risk of their lives”, concludes the note.
