European Parliament President Metsola emphasized that the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei should mark the end of the era of dictatorships in Iran.

Stating that after 47 years the time for freedom must now have come, Metsola said:

“For everyone who was killed, executed, or forcibly disappeared; for all the children forced to grow up in fear of the regime’s chains; for every mother who had to search through blood-stained basements filled with the bodies of innocents while looking for loved ones; for generations of Iranians forced to leave their homes and live in exile; for every political prisoner tortured, executed, or unjustly imprisoned; for women, for life, for freedom; for Jina Mahsa Amini; for every voice silenced forever; for every child hanged from a crane in a public square; for every innocent European held hostage in horrific conditions by terrorists in the IRGC; for all the victims of terror proxies trained, financed, armed, and supported by the regime, who have killed thousands across the Middle East and around the world over the past two generations; for everyone who sees the struggle for freedom not as a political issue or a popular cause but as an existential necessity; for everyone who wants the Iranian people to live in the light rather than in darkness — Iran must now be free.”
