 Rallies, gatherings by Iranians in 40 cities worldwide on anniversary of July 9 uprising
Call for an end to appeasement, removal of terror tag on Mojahedin
Today, supporters of the Iranian Resistance held gatherings, seminars,
rallies and conferences in 40 cities across the world to commemorate
the sixth anniversary of the July 9 uprising. In expressing their
solidarity with Iranian students, they called for an end to the policy
of appeasement toward the clerical regime.
Iranians underscored that the simultaneity of the criminal bombings in
London and a terrorist becoming the president in Iran gives dual
importance to the adoption of a decisive policy toward the clerical
regime, the heartland of fundamentalism and the terrorism emanating
from it.
A number of political, parliamentary, academic and human rights
personalities addressed these events and expressed their support for
the Iranian people’s endeavors for freedom and democracy. While
condemning the mullahs’ sham election that led to the election of a
Revolutionary Guardsman, a murderer and terrorist, the speakers urged
Western countries, particularly the European Union, to end the
disastrous policy of appeasement and urged the removal of the terror
label from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), the
principal Iranian opposition force.
These rallies, gatherings and events were held or in the process of
being held in Hamburg, Bremen, Göttingen, Frankfurt, Ulm, Nürnberg,
Berlin, Leipzig and Cologne in Germany, Brussels, The Hague, Stockholm
and Goteborg in Sweden, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen,
and Arendal in Norway, Rome, Sydney, Vienna, Berne, Limasol, in Cyprus,
Lille, Luxembourg, Denver, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Atlanta, Washington,
DC, San Diego in the United States, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and
Vancouver in Canada.
Seminars and conferences will also be held in the coming days in
Dallas, Houston and Nashville in the United States, Rome and Sydney.
Those in the rallies carried Iran’s tri-colored flags and pictures of
the Resistance’s leadership as well as placards, supporting the July 9
uprising and condemning appeasement. They were chanting, “Cry of every
Iran is freedom,” “Democracy, Freedom with Maryam Rajavi.”
The resolution of the rallies read in part, “The coming to power of the
most extremist faction of the clerical regime is the by-product of the
Western policy of appeasement. This policy’s most serious windfall for
the mullahs was the terror label against the main Iranian opposition
group, the People’s Mojahedin (PMOI). Appeasement not only failed to
bring about moderation in Iran, but also gave the mullahs freer reins
in suppression and export of terror and in pursuit of nuclear weapons
and ultimately led to an internal purge. Continuing appeasement would
be a disaster. The solution for Iran is neither appeasement nor a
foreign war, but democratic change by relying on the Iranian people and
Resistance. The terror label against the Resistance is the biggest
impediment to the realization of this change.”
The resolution also drew the attention of European governments to the
conspiracies of the mullahs’ agents and activities by their espionage
and terrorist networks against Iranian refugees as well as members and
sympathizers of the Iranian Resistance. It called on them to pursue,
punish and expel Tehran’s agents and prevent European soil from
becoming the roaming ground for the Ministry of Intelligence.”
