He described Trump’s policy as the complete trampling of logic, dialogue, and rationality in favor of savagery and murder.
Saeid Reza Ameli, a jury member hailed the awakening of American youths and mobilizing protest against the US war on Iran and killing of Minab school students in contrast with the years needed to build anti-war awareness during Vietnam era.
Mick Wallace, the former Irish Member of the European Parliament, was among the recipients of the award, recognized for his independent foreign policy and advocacy for social justice.
In part of the ceremony, video messages were screened from recipients who could not attend the meeting among them Professor Haim Bresheeth-Zabner, a British historian and filmmaker at SOAS, renowned Syrian actress Sulaf Fawakherji, Yemeni cartoonist Kamal Sharaf, Tushar Gandhi, an Indian activist and grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and Charlotte Kates, a Canadian human rights lawyer and coordinator of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
Organized by the Office for the Preservation and Publication of the Works of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the ceremony was held on Keshvardoost Street, close to the site where the Leader of Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khamenei was martyred in February.
The Right Side of History Medal originates from a letter by the martyred Leader of Islamic Republic addressing the American university students in May 2024, in which he praised their political awakening and support for Palestine.
The event is one of several ceremonies held worldwide to honor those who have formed a branch of the Resistance Front and taken part in this activism to voice their opposition to the brutal crimes of Zionism and Global Arrogance.
