The Iranian Resistance continues to garner support for the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people and their desire to live in a free country that rejects any kind of dictatorship. Presently, the majority of 25 parliaments have joined the growing international movement to support the Iranian people and their Resistance movement.
One of these statements is signed by the majority of the French National Assembly. The statement reads in part, “Through their slogans the Iranian people have made it clear that they reject all forms of dictatorship, be it the deposed Shah or the current theocratic regime and thus reject any association with either.”
French MPs acknowledged that this is the first time that a statement of Iran gathers so many signatures.
On June 13, 525 members of the UK House of Commons and House of Lords expressed their support for the uprising of the Iranian people, their rejection of the mullahs’ and shah dictatorships, and the Ten-Point Plan of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
During a conference in which the statement was presented, MP Steve McCabe said: “Now is not the time for any kind of appeasement towards [the regime]. As many of my colleagues have said, now is the time to ban the IRGC. Now is the time to break off diplomatic relations with this regime. Now is the time to make it clear we are no longer in the business of dealing with them.”
And Baroness Nuala O’Loan described Mrs. Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan as “the blueprint for a future Iran which has gender equality, a separation of religion and state, and a republic founded on universal suffrage and pluralism.”
And more recently, 71 Nobel Prize winners added their voice to those of parliamentarians in a statement in support of Iran’s uprising. The signatories write, “Forty-four years ago, millions of Iranian people rejected the despotic rule of the Shah and its brutal secret police (SAVAK) by participating in mass demonstrations. Today, during the ongoing nationwide protests, they chant ‘No to Monarchy, No to Theocracy! Yes to Democracy, Equality.’”
The campaign of the Iranian Resistance, which has also garnered the support of 117 former world leaders, marks a new chapter in the struggle for freedom in Iran. This is the continuation of the activities carried out the brave people of Iran, the Resistance Units, and the defiant youth of Iran, who are making it clear that they are determined to overthrow the mullahs’ regime and they will not go back to the shah dictatorship.
