“We do not release a people with strikes”: the anger of the Franco-Iranian lawyer Chirinne Ardakani

Guest of France Info, Chirinne Ardakani, lawyer and founder of the Iran Justice association, expressed a lively and lucid indignation in the face of the ongoing bombings against Iran, presented as a “liberation” operation. Moved, worthy, she denounced the cynicism of those who justify military aggression in the name of human rights.

“I was born here, I grew up here. I would never have imagined that we ask the question in these terms in France. Imagine that a foreign power comes to say: “We will make a change of diet in France, we will redraw the map of the Middle East”. But what does that mean? “, She launched. Chirinne Ardakani reminds him without detour: we are not faced with a future threat, but at the heart of a very real military intervention. And to those who claim to bomb “for the good of the Iranians”, she replied angry: “It has been two years since demonstrators pay the price of freedom for their lives. All of France chanted Woman, life, freedom. And now, their answer is death, is it bombs? For their property? But it’s obscene to say that. »»

And above all, she challenges: “What saviors?” – Before letting it be clear that it is. The name is not pronounced, but no one is fooled. Behind this alleged humanitarian operation, it is the same Netanyahu – war criminal for millions of human beings, author of an ongoing genocide in Gaza – who is today seeking to present himself as a liberator.

The voice of Chirinne Ardakani, inhabited by anger but guided by justice, echoed a people who refuses to be crushed in the name of his own emancipation. “The Iranians do not need saviors” to the brutality of the strikes, it opposes the resistance of the people, the dignity of the civil struggles and the strength of the law. An essential message, at a time when the words “democracy” and “freedom” are used as camouflage in destruction.
