Emadeddin Baghi

 

Quote by Emadeddin Baghi: “I am more committed than ever to what I call a millimeter or inch-by-inch revolution. We have no choice — I have no choice — but to persevere and do what I can do to educate and inform the Iranian people about a more fair and just way of life. I cannot stop."  

Acceptance Speech by Professor Heibatollah Baghi on behalf of Emadeddin Baghi: Emad's evolution from Islamist revolutionary to tempered democratizer suggests an alternative way forward in the Middle East…Reformers like Emad believe that their patient struggle for religious and political reform offers a new beacon for the region — one that may have a more lasting and progressive impact on the Islamic world than the West's war on Islamic terrorism.
