Mission
The
Azadegan Foundation is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to
the promotion of democracy, human rights, and the establishment of a
secular government in Iran. Our organization has a concrete, measurable
strategy for facilitating change, and it is crucial for us at this
juncture to secure your financial and moral support in order to
accomplish our objectives.
The
clerical clique in
Tehran
views the world as a Mosque to be run by clerics who are inspired by the
ecumenical revolutionary ideals of Ayatollah Khomeini. As each day
passes, The Islamic regime of Tehran is ever increasing its covert
political, financial, military and logistical support to a variety of
terrorist groups. It is spending tens of billions of dollars, not for
defense, but solely to consolidate their shaky power base.
Iranians
who have risen against the tyrannical rule of the clerics have been
repressed brutally. Despite the danger they face, they are demanding
that the regime put an end to its arbitrary rule, and to free political
prisoners. Their struggle will continue and will intensify until the
retreat of the ruling clerics to mosques, and the ultimate transfer of
power to the people.
Today,
persecution of religious minorities continues and elections are
undemocratic and fraudulent. Almost all pro-democracy newspapers have
been shut down, and editors and writers have been imprisoned. Student
leaders and all nationalist opposition leaders are being arrested and
mercilessly tortured in prison, and women (even pregnant women) are
stoned to death.
Iran's
population is now 70 million, with 45 million under 25 years of age. The
economic situation and the over-all standards of living are rapidly
deteriorating. Discontent among the military, and even the Revolutionary
Guard created by the regime, is ever increasing. Religious leaders and
religious foundations totally control and mismanage the economy. Change
in Iran is imperative. The dictatorship of the clerics must end!
