  Many agree that the fate of Iran should be in the hands of the
• 0:04
  Iranian people. However, the majority of these
• 0:07
  same individuals and media outlets suddenly fall silent
• 0:11
  when the Iranian people are out on the streets chanting the name
• 0:16
  of their desired transitional leader, Rezapathevi, a man who
• 0:21
  champions the prospect of an Iran founded upon a secular
• 0:25
  democracy. So I record this video today to
• 0:28
  send one message to the world and its media.
• 0:31
  The Iranian people want Rezapatnabi, whether it's among
• 0:36
  the older generations or across the youth people like myself.

  Just a few months ago, the Islamic Republic detained and
• 0:45
  arrested Bita Shafi, an Iranian girl who was only 19 years old
• 0:50
  at the time of her detainment. Her reason for arrest?
• 0:53
  Because she showed support for His Royal Highness online.
• 0:58
  But the Iranian people continue to fight regardless.
• 1:01
  Regardless of the fact that with every yell for freedom, they are
• 1:04
  staring death directly in the face.
• 1:07
  And even then, they continue to use their dying breath to chant
• 1:11
  the name of Reza Pahlavi, a detail that the mainstream media
• 1:15
  conveniently decides to leave out.
• 1:18
  Well, I'm choosing to amplify the voice of Iranians and all of
• 1:23
  the words that many outlets refuse to cover.
• 1:26
  My name is Tara, I'm a 17 year old Iranian American and I
• 1:31
  support the Crown Prince Javed Shah.
