Catherine Perez-Shakdam, a French-born Jewish commentator who has said she spent years gaining access to senior figures in Iran’s ruling establishment, posted a message of solidarity with protesters on Tuesday, telling Iranians “you are not alone” as demonstrations continued.
In a lengthy post on X addressed to “the people of Iran,” Perez-Shakdam praised protesters for confronting what she described as decades of repression.
“You continue to stand, to speak, and to insist on the simplest right of all: to live as free citizens rather than as subjects,” she wrote.
“You deserve a country governed by law, not by terror; by accountability, not by corruption; by consent, not by coercion,” she wrote, ending her message with “solidarity and respect.”
