The people of Iran have had to endure repressive laws that have stifled their freedom of speech and religion for too long.

Resist this war on God, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion all have a double aspect - freedom of thought and freedom of action.

Our rights are interconnected and inseparable. When freedom of expression is threatened, the rights to freedom of association and assembly, of thought, conscience and religion, are also compromised.

If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

There is no ageism or 'youthism' when it comes to freedom of speech. We are all citizens.
