00:00 I am very proud to announce that the 2023 Saharoff Prize for Freedom of Thought has
00:09 been awarded to Gina Mahsamini and the Women, Life and Freedom Movement in Iran.
00:16 The 16th of September 2022 is a date which will live in infamy and the brutal murder
00:23 of 22-year-old Gina Mahsamini marked a turning point. It has triggered a women-led movement
00:30 that is making history. The world has heard the chants of "Women, Life, Liberty" – three
00:37 words that have become a rallying cry for all those standing up for equality, for dignity
00:44 and for freedom in Iran. To the brave and defiant women, men and young people in Iran
00:52 who despite coming under increasing pressure are leading the push for change. The European
00:58 Parliament hears you, the world sees you and we are with you. Zan zendegi azadi.
01:06 Thank you.
