”Stockholm – Riksdagen
On this date, I personally visited the Swedish Parliament (Riksdagen), met with representatives, and worked through formal channels to invite Prince Reza Pahlavi.
We followed a legal and structured process — submitting official bulletins, engaging in dialogue, and even reviewing the official halls inside the Riksdag suitable for hosting dignified events.
This was not a symbolic effort. It was real, serious work.
What is deeply concerning is that this opportunity was not realized — despite the fact that Prince Reza Pahlavi has been received in many countries with dignity, respect, and proper representation.
Across Europe — including countries such as Germany, France, and Italy — public figures of his level are typically invited to speak in respected institutions, conferences, universities, or formal venues that reflect the importance of the occasion.
Such events are organized transparently, with broader representation and professionalism.
However, what took place in Sweden did not reflect that standard.
Instead, a limited group became the visible organizers, without transparency, while others — including those who had worked through legal channels — were excluded.
Furthermore, I must raise a serious concern:
During the event, I was prevented from participating despite being present with the Iranian national flag and a photo of Prince Reza Pahlavi. I was asked to leave and told directly that I could be removed by force.
In the days following, I have also experienced behavior that raises concern for my personal safety, including being followed and filmed in public spaces without my consent.
This is not only unacceptable — it is concerning.
Freedom of expression must apply to all, not only to selected groups.
I share this not only as a political concern, but as a matter of personal safety and accountability.

One of my photos from inside the Swedish Parliament.
For over a year, I worked through official channels to support the invitation of Prince Reza Pahlavi.
While I welcome his visit, it deserved a more dignified and inclusive organization.”
