Interview with Radio 1, Italy
Maryam Rajavi: To confront Iranian regime, firmer sanctions, recognition of Iranian Resistance and delisting PMOI must be carried out

In a special interview with Radio Italy, channel 1, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said that firmer sanctions should be adopted against the mullahs’ regime, Iranian Resistance to be recognized and the Peoples’ Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) to be removed from terrorist list:
Q: The UN economic sanctions are not that much to distance away the Iranian regime from the nuclear program; in your view what should be done? Of course without war?

Mrs. Rajavi: I think it is necessary to have a strong policy before the mullahs’ regime. The sanctions have not been enough. There is a need for a decisive and rigid decision; I have mentioned several times that there should be a firmer policy and more sanctions. The second step is to recognize the Iranian resistance which is the alternative to the religious regime in Iran. PMOI must be taken off the terrorist list then we can take stronger steps.
Q: The PMOI that is the central nucleus of the Iranian Resistance has tried hard and the Italian representatives from both Parliament and Senate have tried and they agree that this organization must be removed from the list, What do you think and how could it be done?
Mrs. Rajavi: Many European Parliamentarians such as members of Italian Parliament and Senate have defended the PMOI, and have announced that the Iranian resistance is a legitimate and right resistance against Fundamentalism and for freedom. Also four international European courts have ruled out the illegal terror tag. Therefore, the European governments should listen to their parliamentarians and take the PMOI off the list.
Q: Generally the West and Europe has had double standard; from one side they support representatives of the Iranian Resistance and from the other side its former politicians go to Iran for the economic problems and shake Ahmadinejad’s hand, and it should be considered that the Europe’s exports to Iran has increased 18 percent since the sanctions has started against Iran; what do you think to be done for the Iranian Resistance?
Mrs. Rajavi: Unfortunately the priority for Europe is economic interest and to achieve this interest they take steps against all human and humanitarian rights and European laws and policies. It should not be so. They have taken steps in favor of the nuclear interest of the regime. Therefore, they have bought time and the necessary means for this regime. Unfortunately this is the case. Other measures should be taken against this regime which is a threat to Western and European countries. The Iranian regime is continuing to build atomic bomb. They are buying time that is why we have decided to increase our activities against this regime and to show to the world that the main source and the main exporter of terrorism in the region and the world are the Mullahs. In this path there have been efforts to delist the PMOI. There should be a united and strong support and cooperation by the European Parliamentarians for the PMOI which is the strongest force against fundamentalism in the world and the only democratic alternative for Iran.
About two thousand members of parliament in Europe have supported us and a committee in defense of a free Iran has been formed to support the resistance and to take the PMOI off the list. In their statement members of the Italian Senate have supported the Iranian resistance which will be made public by tomorrow. The Iranian merchants who used to support the mullahs are continuing their strike against the regime. Italy has an important and sensitive role in supporting the Iranian resistance and we ask the Italian government to support the Iranian resistance which is the only voice of democracy in Iran.
