Demonstrators also called for removal of terror tag from People's Mojahedin
Maryam Rajavi: Iranian nation demand end to policy of appeasement and demand sanctions against regime
Simultaneous with the European Union's meeting of foreign ministers' in
Brussels today to review its policy toward the religious, terrorist
dictatorship ruling Iran, more than 35,000 Iranians staged a
magnificent rally outside the EU headquarters, demanding the immediate
referral of the clerical regime's nuclear file to the Security Council
and the removal of the terrorist tag from the principle Iranian
opposition force, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI).
In a live satellite video link to the rally, the largest of its kind in
Europe in recent years, the Iranian Resistance's President-elect Maryam
Rajavi urged the world community, particularly the European Union, to
end two decades of appeasing the mullahs of Iran. She stressed that the
solution to the Iranian problem, was neither appeasement, nor foreign
military intervention, but democratic change by relying on the Iranian
people and their Resistance.
"Two weeks ago, the mullahs' President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad engaged in a
demagogic tirade, threatening to set regional and Islamic nations
ablaze and beating the drums of war in a bid to conceal the dire state
of a regime that is on its last legs. His speech, a revolting call for
religious war proved, as the Iranian Resistance predicted four months
ago, that owing to deep crises and fundamental weakness of their
regime, the mullahs have, in a pre-emptive move, declared war on the
international community," Mrs. Rajavi said.
She added, "Western countries have condemned the pernicious remarks by
the mullahs' President. Long overdue, the reaction is in no way
sufficient. What is necessary is to take action. Western leaders keep
silent on the fundamental fact that Ahmadinejad's warmongering is a
direct consequence of their policy of appeasement."
Emphasizing, "It was proven that as long as the mullahs' dictatorship
remains in power, it will show enmity to Middle East peace and will act
as the main obstacle to the establishment of democracy in Iraq," the
Iranian Resistance's President-elect called for the "referral of the
Tehran regime's nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council and
sanctions against the religious tyranny ruling Iran, prosecution of its
leaders for committing crimes against humanity, including the massacre
of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988, and the removal of the terror
tag from the Iranian resistance movement."
Some 30 members of parliament from different European countries
addressed today’s rally, underscoring their support for the Iranian
Resistance and its struggle for freedom on Iran and demanding the
removal of the terror tag from the PMOI.
They included Morten Hogland (Norway), Tunne Kelam (Estonia), Lord
Corbett of Castle Vale (Britain), Lord Russell-Johnston (Britain),
Brian Binley (Britain), Paolo Casaca (Portugal), Senator Patrik
Vankrunkelsven (Belgium), Jean-Pierre Malmandier (Belgium), Karin
Lalieux (Belgium), Talbia Belhouari (Belgium), Senator Erika Thijs
(Belgium), Dirk Claes (Belgium), Senator Pierre Galand (Belgium),
Herman Van Rompuy (Belgium), Jaroslav Zverina (Czech), Dietrich Thiede
(Germany), Stefan Sarreach (Germany), Helmut Markov (Germany), Gereta
Tuellmann (Germany), Ryszard Czarencki (Poland), Lars Rise (Norway).
In part of his speech, Lord Corbett of Castle Vale from the British
House of Lords said, “More than half of the British House of Commons
and 122 Peers in the House of Lords demand that the PMOI be removed
from the list of terrorist organizations. We are the many, the mullahs
are not. It is not the PMOI who are terrorists, it is the mullahs. It
is not the PMOI that is providing weapons and training to the
terrorists in Iraq, it is the mullahs. Why then is the terror tag not
around the necks of the mullahs? It was the Iranian Resistance that
warned the world that Islamic fundamentalism was a global threat.
Today, that threat is evermore approaching. The Iranian regime’s
nuclear file must be sent before the UN Security Council.”
Mr. Paolo Casaca, a member of the European Parliament, said that the
time had come to send the regime’s nuclear file to the UN Security
Council. He also urged the removal of the unwarranted terror tag from
the PMOI, while voicing support for the Iranian Resistance in its
struggle for democracy in Iran.
British MP Brian Binley said, “A country that openly promotes suicide
operations and threatens the existence of another state is a threat
that we cannot ignore and I and my colleagues in the British Parliament
will do all that is necessary to isolate this regime.”
Belgian Senator Pierre Galand, first vice chair of the Senate’s Foreign
Affairs Committee, said, “My colleagues in the Senate believe the PMOI
should be removed from the terrorist list immediately.”
German MP, Stefan Sarreach, voiced support for the third option
proposed by Mrs. Rajavi and urged the EU to take up the Iranian
regime’s dangerous nuclear program at the Security Council.
The NCRI’s Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Mohammad Mohaddesin said,
“The time for waiting is over. The ruling mullahs’ have brutally
suppressed the Iranian people and threatened peace in the region and
the world. The EU should not sacrifice human rights at the altar of
short-term economic interests. Send Tehran’s nuclear file to the
Security Council now.”
