And my heart ached for those who have experienced this,
for those who were wounded and taken captive, for those who were executed with a
final shot, for the children who are now in chains,
and for their families who have no news of them. We really must
continue to be the voice of these dear ones. For us, this, this internet blackout,
this cut in communications is very painful, very frightening.
The only hope of these dear ones is us outside Iran. I mean we must be their voice,
we must cry out their names loudly. We are responsible for everyone.
We are responsible and we must not stay silent. Look, the eighteenth and
nineteenth of Dey are no longer just dates in the calendar for us,
they are an open wound that will be with us forever.
Our loved ones were taken, not in war, not in an accident, but from among
people who only wanted to live, who were staging a civil protest with bare hands.
Each one of these kids was a dream, was a smile, was an unfinished life.
Their loss remains, their memory remains for us, For the mothers who
are still waiting, but will not be forgotten, we will not forget them.
Not the names, not the faces, not the truth. And we must not let the truths
be forgotten. We must not let the names
of the loved ones we lost be forgotten.
But we also must not forget that there are still loved ones who are imprisoned,
there are still families who have no news of their loved ones.
We must be the voice of everyone.
We must not stay
silent and let this internet shutdown, this cut in communication, drag everything
into oblivion in silence, bury everything in silence. This is oppression.
That is why I really ask everyone, look, I lost my brother, my dear brother.
Babak was truly a piece of my soul. But despite all this,
sometimes I put the grief for Babak in a corner of my heart and I try to
be the voice of the others.
I try, during this internet shutdown,
to be the voice of those who have been arrested,
to be the voice of the loved ones whose families are waiting for them.
The voice of… The situation is really hard for our fellow countrymen in
Iran, really hard.

Original transcript (Persian)
و قلبم به درد میاومد برای کسایی که اینو تجربه کردن، برای کسایی که زخمی، اسیر شدن، خانوادههاشون که ازشون بیخبرن. ما واقعا باید همچنان صدای این عزیزان باشیم. خیلی ترسناکه. امید این عزیزان فقط به ما خارج از ایرانه. یعنی ما باید صداشون باشیم، باید اسمهاشون رو بلند فریاد بزنیم. ما مسئولیم در برابر همه. مسئولیم و نباید سکوت کنیم. ببینید، هجده و نوزده دی ماه برای ما دیگه فقط یه تاریخ توی
تقویم نیستن، یه زخم بازه که تا ابد همراهمونه. عزیزان ما رو گرفتن، نه تو جنگ، نه تو حادثه، بلکه در بین مردمی که فقط میخواستن زندگی کنن، برای مادرایی که چشمبهراهن. ولی فراموش نمیشن، ما فراموش نمیکنیم. نه اسمها رو، نه چهرهها رو، نه حقیقت رو. و نباید بذاریم حقیقتها فراموش بشه.
نباید بذاریم که اسم عزیزانی که از دست دادیم فراموش بشه. ولی نباید هم فراموش کنیم که هنوز عزیزانی هستن که در بندن، هنوز خانوادههایی هستن که از عزیزانشون خبر ندارن. ما باید صدای همه باشیم. ما نباید سکوت کنیم و نذاریم که این قطعی اینترنت، این قطعی ارتباطها همهچیز
ما نباید سکوت کنیم و نذاریم که این قطعی اینترنت، این قطعی ارتباطها همهچیز رو تو سکوت به فراموشی ببره، همهچیز رو تو سکوت دفن کنه. این یه ظلمه. برای همین واقعا از همه میخوام، ببینید من برادرم رو از دست دادم، برادر عزیزم رو. یه تیکه از جون من بود بابک واقعا. ولی با همه اینا گاهی غم بابک رو میذارم صدای کسایی باشم که بازداشت شدن، صدای عزیزانی باشم که خانوادههاشون
شرایط خیلی سخته برای هموطنانمون تو ایران، خیلی سخته.
