Thank you, Poland for giving visa to these beautiful woman. Look at these two faces. One was burned with acid for fighting the Taliban. One was blinded for shouting freedom in Tehran. Now look again. These are the faces the regimes feared most. Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband threw acid on her face because of her activities against against the Taliban and told her: now I have taken your eyes and your face, people will be scared of you, so I dare you to go out and talk to people. I invited them to come on stage with because I want to dedicate my award to these real activists. She met Kosar, an Iranian woman who was blinded by the Islamic Republic during the Woman life Freedom uprising. Thank you Poland for giving us visas. I am taking these two women to Auschwitz before they go on stage. They will stand on stage in Poland, the face her husband wanted to hide speaking to thousands. I do not see victims. I see heroes. They are not fighting for themselves. They are fighting to protect democracy everywhere from the most dangerous cancer, which is called Islamism. Meanwhile, women sit on death row in Iran right now, waiting for the gallows. Women are being erased from every classroom, every job, every public street under the Taliban. And the whole world is quiet. Where are the women's marches? Where is the outrage? This is why I call on universities across Europe and America: open your doors to these heroes. Invite them. Let the new generation of the West hear the truth from women who paid the price of freedom with their eyes and their faces. Books cannot teach what they have lived.

Women blinded under Islamic Republic, and Taliban, by shotgun and acid attack! I invited these incredible heroes to Spain and Poland because I believe the real awards belong to them. The Islamic Republic took their eyes for the crime of demanding freedom. They still do not lower their voices, unlike many Europeans they don’t bow to their oppressors. Europe is legitimizing the Taliban and shaking hands with the mullahs. Before you sign the next deal, sit with these women. Look into their eyes. Answer one question: Why? Their stories are not only about Iran. They are a warning. These women fight so their country can be free, and so your democracies stay safe from the same Islamist terrorists knocking at your door. Europe talks about values. But then it normalizes relations with the Taliban and Islamic Republic of Iran, the same regimes who kick out girls from schools, ban women from working, from being seen, from existing in public life. The mullahs hang women and men for speaking up. They hang young people for one post on social media. One day you will harvest what you have planted. This is called an Apartheid against women and we are all united against Islamic Republic and Taliban. Choose your ally! You stand with us or with these terrorist regimes willing to expand their ideology everywhere in the West!
