 Declaration of London Seminar
7 July 2005
The meeting of leading lawyers and members of both Houses of Parliament
from the three major political parties, to debate policy towards Iran
at the start of the UK Presidency
-
Congratulates the majority of the Iranian people who refused to take
part in the mullahs’ fake presidential election and instead insisted on
democratic change.
- Deplores the rigged election of Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, who helped to mastermind the seizure of the American
embassy in 1979 and was involved in torture and assassinations of those
demanding freedom at home and abroad.
- Believes the sham elections reflect the weakness
and fragility of the theocratic regime as it turns to the most
extremist faction in its bid to survive.
- Concludes that years of attempted appeasement of
the mullahs by EU states has failed and only damaged the Iranian
people’s bid for democracy and left open the regime’s road to nuclear
weapons.
- Calls upon the UK Presidency and the EU to reverse
its present policy towards the mullahs and back those demanding freedom
and their Resistance, rather than those who have stolen it from
them. This means removing the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of
Iran (PMOI) from all lists of terrorist organisations.
- Considers that the establishment of the Committee
of British Lawyers for deproscription of the Iranian Mojahedin to
assist the campaign to remove the terror tag on the PMOI a valuable
contribution to establishing freedom and respect for human rights in a
new Iran.
- Shares the view of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi,
President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, that
democratic change relying upon the Iranian people and their Resistance
is now within reach.
