5-Real Independence and Freedom
The Islamic Revolution had three main slogans, which were seen within
the realm of Islam: "Independence, freedom, Islamic Republic". These were the
three slogans that the nation, young and old, from the very beginning raised
them with the Lord's blessing in disguise. The Islamic Republic system was
established through a referendum held in April 1979, with 98.2 percent of the
people's vote. Freedom was achieved from the very dawn of the victory, that is,
February 11, 1979 with the collapse of the illegitimate regime. It was only
independence that needed time to be materialized in all its aspects, though
some of its aspects, like political independence was achieved immediately after
the victory of the revolution.
