As the children of the Iranian nation, they made the ultimate sacrifice in the struggle overthrow of the mullahs’ religious dictatorship
Text of speech by Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, at the ceremony in Auvers-sur-Oise commemorating the martyrs of the missile attack on Camp Liberty
November 1, 2015
Greetings to you all.
From here, we extend our heartfelt salutations to the blood-drenched and devastated Liberty and its lofty martyrs.
Although Khamenei failed to achieve his evil objective, the Thursday evening attack on Camp Liberty was one the most horrific assaults against the PMOI to date. It was intended to massacre all of the freedom-fighters at Liberty.
This massive barrage of 80 missiles continued uninterrupted for 10 minutes. Dozens of missiles were setting everything on fire and destroying everywhere. The massive shockwaves demolished even the protective concrete walls, scattering them around.
It was a Tsunami of destruction and fire. It appeared as though all the crimes and atrocities perpetrated by Khomeini and Khamenei’s over the past three decades had been compressed into 10 minutes.
Nevertheless, God’s blessing and the residents’ vigilance, timely reaction and fighting spirit saved them from being massacred so that they could continue to inspire the people of Iran with their resistance and perseverance.
I do not know how to describe the life-and death struggle of women and men who stood up amid blood and fire?
I can only tell them: What you did in those breathtaking moments encapsulated your nation’s faith, passion and wherewithal for freedom.
In the darkness of that cold night, you were extinguishing the fire with primitive equipment, pulling out the bodies of your comrades from under the rubble, and running around with wounded and bleeding bodies.
Indeed, you had become one body and showed that there are no limits to the determination and motivation of human beings who have chosen to fight for freedom.
I was with you and you were in my thoughts at all hours of that night. I was with you in the bunkers, when paying last respects to the martyrs and when attending to the wounds of the injured. I saw your bloodied faces and clenched fists. And I saw you raising victory signs. And of course, I was not alone. Anyone who saw those pictures was overwhelmed with pride and honor.
Truly, you could you not have conveyed to all that the enemy had been defeated any better!
On that night, amid the fire, smoke, explosions and shockwaves, your unwavering resolve and your belief in the resistance and the fight for victory, displayed the magnificence of this glorious struggle for Iran’s freedom. You proved the PMOI’s steadfastness and wherewithal.
I salute you, your struggle and persistence. And I salute your martyred comrades.
