From inside Evin Prison, Shahin Zoghi-Tabar delivers a powerful message of loyalty to Iran’s organized resistance, vowing to stand firm until the overthrow of the ruling regime.
An Iranian political prisoner held in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison has issued a deeply emotional and defiant message, reaffirming his commitment to resistance against Iran’s ruling regime and declaring his readiness to sacrifice his life for the freedom of the Iranian people.
Shahin Zoghi-Tabar, currently imprisoned for his political beliefs, addressed his message from inside Evin Prison in December 2025, expressing unwavering loyalty to Iran’s organized resistance and its leadership. His statement reflects the enduring resolve of political prisoners who continue to challenge repression despite prolonged incarceration, torture, and isolation.
In his message, Zoghi-Tabar described his path to political awareness as a personal transformation, stating that before encountering the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), he felt “without weight or meaning.” He portrayed his connection with the resistance as a defining moment that gave purpose to his life and aligned him with what he called “the only true capital of a nation in chains: organized resistance.”
Referring to the current conditions inside Iran, Zoghi-Tabar condemned the climate of fear, repression, and systematic violence imposed on society, describing it as the direct outcome of the regime’s ideological foundations and decades of authoritarian rule. He emphasized that living under such conditions leaves no moral choice but resistance.
Addressing Massoud Rajavi and Maryam Rajavi by name, Zoghi-Tabar pledged allegiance to the resistance movement and swore an oath to remain steadfast until the complete overthrow of what he described as the “clerical regime” and the transfer of sovereignty back to the Iranian people.
“I swear to stand with pride alongside the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran until the moment of the regime’s downfall,” he declared, adding that he would remain committed “until the last drop of blood.”
The message concludes with a request for his voice to be broadcast and shared through resistance-affiliated media outlets, underscoring the importance of amplifying the voices of political prisoners who are systematically silenced inside Iran’s prisons.
Zoghi-Tabar’s statement is emblematic of a broader reality within Iran’s prison system, where political detainees continue to resist psychological pressure and brutal conditions by reaffirming their political identity and commitment to change. His words serve as both a testimony to the regime’s repression and a reminder that resistance persists even behind prison walls.
As executions, arbitrary detentions, and harsh sentencing continue across Iran, messages like Zoghi-Tabar’s highlight the growing gap between the ruling establishment and a society increasingly unwilling to submit to fear. From within one of the regime’s most infamous prisons, his declaration stands as a symbol of defiance and a call for solidarity with Iran’s political prisoners.
