TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE: LETTER OF SOLIDARITY FROM DENMARK'S ARTISTS AND ORGANIZATIONS
As fellow artists and freedom supporters, we salute the Iranian people for their courage in taking to the streets in spite of devastating, deadly attacks by the Islamic Republic. Along with our condolences, we strongly believe that the fight for life not only extends to affected individuals and their families, but also to marginalized groups all over the world.
At every step, we hold you in high esteem and recognize that you are also fighting for us. The regime continues to violently arrest and abuse artists, activists, students, journalists, lawyers, and protesters, creating false narratives to slander and discredit their courageous efforts. At this crucial time, we acknowledge our duty to stand by the Iranian people. All ethnicities, genders, and ages are uniting with a common message:
the violent, oppressive, and totalitarian regime must go. We call on all organizations to publicly condemn the terrifying actions of the Islamic Republic, and believe it is important that international solidarity is expressed both within Iran and abroad, where the oppressive regime has displaced many Iranians in search of freedom, equality, and justice.
The letter of solidarity has been initiated by: Soho Rezanejad, Melodi Soltani, Shekufe Heiberg, Puyain Sanati and Sol Khorshid Woloszynski.
