Abadan freedom loving youths: We will continue on in Gholamreza Khosravi’s path

The freedom loving youth of Abadan issued a statement condemning the criminal execution of PMOI hero Gholamreza Khosravi. This statement reads in part:
“After enduring 12 years in detention and under torture, the anti-humane mullahs’ regime executed Gholamreza Khosravi on the morning of Sunday, June 1st. Gholamreza Khosravi was a brave man who heroically withstood years of torture and this regime’s pressures, becoming a symbol of loyalty and perseverance. This is the true nature of ‘moderation’ in the mullahs’ regime where they seek to remain in power with increasing executions in their dungeons. However such measures only make us stronger in our path to freedom. We will continue the path of Gholamreza and other martyrs until the very end.”
“Viva freedom”.
