Support awarding the 2026 Freedom Prize to the people of Iran
The Issue
As a Farsi-speaking Christian ministry based in Toronto, we serve many members of the Iranian community and are deeply connected to their enduring struggle for freedom, dignity, and self-determination. We have closely witnessed their unwavering hope over the years and their relentless pursuit of a free and dignified life. It is with this intimate understanding that we champion the decision of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom to award the 2026 Freedom Prize to the people of Iran.
This prize, we firmly believe, transcends a mere symbolic gesture; it is a profound acknowledgment of the immense courage and aspirations of the Iranian people. Hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets, stood against oppressive regimes, and have consistently voiced their desire for change. They've shown extraordinary bravery in advocating for freedom of conscience and a future determined by their own will. The Freedom Prize should rightfully honor and recognize their collective efforts and sacrifices.
We advocate for entrusting Prince Reza Pahlavi, a prominent figure of hope and continuity for many Iranians, with receiving and holding this prestigious award on behalf of the nation. His leadership is seen by many as instrumental in uniting efforts toward a future where Iranian citizens can fully realize their rights and freedoms. Ensuring that this award is held in trust reflects the continued hope for the realization of these aspirations.
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom's decision will resonate strongly among the people of Iran and amongst all communities supporting human rights globally. It sends a powerful message of support and solidarity and upholds the universal values of freedom and democracy that we all cherish.
We urge you to support this initiative by signing this petition. Let's collectively affirm our commitment to the people of Iran, recognizing their struggles and hopes for a brighter future. Your signature can serve as a beacon of support, contributing to a global call for change and justice for the Iranian people. Please join us in this significant cause, and help amplify their voice on the world stage.
