کنفرانس امنیتی مونیخ دعوت از شاهزاده رضا پهلوی را باز گرداند. #قدرت_ملت

In Berlin, a decision has been made to sideline and silence the Iranian people and to appease the Islamic Republic. At this important moment of change in Iran, I was pleased to be invited to take part in this year’s @MunSecConf. However, my participation in this conference has been blocked by @GermanyDiplo. The German Foreign Ministry’s intervention to block my participation places Germany on the wrong side of history. So while the German government caves to the Islamic Republic, I urge the German people to stand with Iranians fighting for human rights and democracy— not only for Iranians’ sake, but for their own. Along with my compatriots, I will continue my campaign to free Iran, and with it the world, from the terror of a regime that has been allowed to hold humanity hostage with its blackmail for far too long. This decision was not about silencing me. This was about silencing the Iranian people. It was about silencing all those who stand for freedom, justice, and dignity. And that we will not stand for. Despite attempts to deny the Iranian people a voice at this conference, I will nonetheless be traveling to Munich. For while we seek friends and allies in foreign capitals, we know our liberation is in our hands and will never be determined by foreign governments. It is we Iranians who will decide our destiny and we will not cease until we are successful.
