[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/faRMW9KnmVPG/en/maren-jasper-winter-on-the-freedom-award-for-iran-and-reza-pahlavi?t=6) We’re presenting the Friedrich Naumann Foundation’s Freedom Prize here today for the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom.

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/faRMW9KnmVPG/en/maren-jasper-winter-on-the-freedom-award-for-iran-and-reza-pahlavi?t=15) It’s so important to us, and we feel very honored that so many Iranian women and men are here today.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/faRMW9KnmVPG/en/maren-jasper-winter-on-the-freedom-award-for-iran-and-reza-pahlavi?t=40) What do you say to that? Reza Pahlavi is accepting the prize in a trustee capacity and he himself says he hopes that soon, freely elected, democratically elected representatives of Iran then be able to take over his prize.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/faRMW9KnmVPG/en/maren-jasper-winter-on-the-freedom-award-for-iran-and-reza-pahlavi?t=56) In that respect, he is the right person for us today. Thank you.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/faRMW9KnmVPG/en/maren-jasper-winter-on-the-freedom-award-for-iran-and-reza-pahlavi?t=60) Um, could you please tell us a little about yourself?

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/faRMW9KnmVPG/en/maren-jasper-winter-on-the-freedom-award-for-iran-and-reza-pahlavi?t=64) Yes. I'm Maren Jasper-Winter. I'm a board member of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation and it's simply a wonderful day.
