I decided to run because I wanted to show that the path to a life full of enlightenment is not too long ....

People must be able to express their opinion and protest freely. A free society in the country can protect it much better than any military force.

I’m not afraid of being one of the post-election martyrs who lost their lives in their struggle for their rightful demands. My blood is no different from that of other martyrs.

Mir-Hossein Mousavi Khameneh is an Iranian politician, artist, architect, and opposition figure who served as the forty-fifth and last Prime Minister of Iran from 1981 to 1989. He was a reformist candidate for the 2009 presidential election and eventually the leader of the opposition in the post-election unrest. Mousavi served as the president of the Iranian Academy of Arts until 2009, when Iranian authorities removed him. Although Mousavi had always considered himself a reformist and believed in promoting change within the 1979 constitution, on 3 February 2023, in the Mahsa Amini protests, he announced his opposition to the Islamic Republic and asked for a widespread referendum to fully change the constitution and make a fundamental change in Iran's political system.
