Iranian exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi on Friday accused European media of ignoring mass killings and executions in Iran, saying that despite extensive meetings he had with journalists in Stockholm and Berlin, none raised questions about Iran’s killing of protesters or the recent execution of political prisoners.

“They seem more interested in criticizing America, asking why the United States and Israel killed the dictator that has slaughtered our people for 47 years than criticizing the regime, doing the slaughtering,” Pahlavi said in a video message.

“Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country, even if we have to do this alone.”

MORE FROM REZA PAHLAVI:

I want to speak DIRECTLY to the people of Europe. In the past two weeks I held TWO MAJOR press conferences — one in Stockholm, one in Berlin. Over 150 JOURNALISTS showed up. We spent MORE THAN TWO HOURS with them…

And guess what?

NOT ONE SINGLE of those 150 journalists asked about the 40,000 IRANIANS SLAUGHTERED on the streets of my country on January 8th and 9th!

NOT ONE asked about the 19 political prisoners EXECUTED in the last two weeks.

When I told them 20 more are currently sentenced to death — CRICKETS. Not a damn question.

I stood right next to a grieving mother and father who lost their sons in that massacre and begged them to listen to their stories…

NOT A SINGLE ONE of those 150 journalists asked them a thing.

Let that sink in.

My 40,000 BRAVE INNOCENT COMPATRIOTS who were butchered fighting for liberty? They don’t give a damn.

They are too busy criticizing America and Israel for taking out the dictator who’s been slaughtering our people for 47 YEARS — instead of going after the regime that’s actually doing the killing!

They’d rather dig up Iran’s history than talk about what’s happening RIGHT NOW or the free democratic Iran we’re fighting for.

One EU parliament member even had the nerve to say Iranians aren’t ready for democracy. To that coward and to every fake journalist in the room I say this:

Iranians aren’t just “ready” for democracy… 40,000 of them just DIED for it! And I will NOT let their blood be in vain.

SO HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR:

Whether Europe stands with us or not…
Whether your journalists do their damn jobs or not…

Whether your politicians grow a spine or not…

I WILL FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE AND MY COUNTRY.

Even if we have to do this ALONE — we are fighting until IRAN IS FREE!
