Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi: Starting the Committee for the Code of Transitional Justice
My dear compatriots,
To you who, over the past five decades, have been victims of injustice, torture, and repression by the Islamic Republic;
To the grieving, justice-seeking mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers, whose number this tyrannical regime has increased every year, every month, and every day;
Today, with pride, and in pursuit of justice for each and every one of you, I have established the Committee for Drafting for Transitional Justice Regulations.
This committee will be tasked with drafting the regulations for a truth-finding commission and court.
The members of this committee are experienced Iranian experts spanning four different generations:
Dr. Shirin Ebadi
Mr. Iraj Mesdaghi
Dr. Leyla Bahmany
Dr. Afshin Elian
Dr. Ebadi has accepted the chairmanship of this committee.
Additionally, a number of the most distinguished international legal scholars will assist this committee in an advisory capacity.
Transitional justice is a critical part of our program for free Iran.
The truth will be revealed.
Justice will be served.
Light will triumph over darkness.
Long live Iran
Reza Pahlavi
