 NCRI – In protest against repugnant remarks by Iranian regime’s
president Ahmadinejad, and the regime’s nuclear and terrorist threats,
hundreds of Iranians and supporters of the Iranian Resistance gathered
in front of the European Union headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday,
December 21.
The event was organized to coincide with the resumption of talks
between the EU-3 and the Iranian regime. The participants called for a
firm position against the fundamentalist regime in Iran and referral of
its nuclear file to the UN Security Council.
Mullahs’ meddling in Iraq and its conspiracies against Camp Ashraf, the
base for members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran in that
country, was condemned by the protesters and they reminded the
Coalition Forces of their responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva
Convention to protect them. They also called on the EU to remove the
PMOI from its terror list immediately as a first step to end the
disgraced policy of appeasement which led to domination of a more
fundamentalist faction in Iran.
The event was addressed by members of the Iranian Resistance and the
Belgian Parliament as well as human rights activists and groups of
Iranian communities in Belgium.
“The mullahs’ president reveals the true face of the Iranian regime to
the world. The same face that people like Khatami had been trying to
cover and hide for years,” Jean-Pierre Malmendier, a Liberal member of
the Belgian Parliament told the crowd and added: “He made his stand
very clear when he said, ‘We did not have a revolution for democracy’
and later stated, ‘the waves of a New Islamic revolution will soon
spread to the entire world.’ These are all part of Iranian regime’s
foreign policy agenda.”
As the next speaker, Dirk Claes, a Christian Democrat member of the
Parliament stressed, “today it has become very clear that the Iranian
regime does not have any peaceful intentions with its nuclear program.
They broke their agreement to freeze all nuclear fuel cycle activities
in August and have insisted on their right to enrich uranium inside the
country ever since.” On Iraq he warned, “The mullahs want to take
advantage of elections to advance their agenda in Iraq to finally force
the coalition troops to leave and then impose their so-called Islamic
system onto Iraq.”
“But more importantly, by controlling Iraq, they hope finally to get
rid of their main opposition, People’s Mojahedin, who are mainly based
in Camp Ashraf, north-east of Baghdad,” cautioned Claes.
Yazdan Haj-Hamzeh, a senior member of the National Council of
Resistance of Iran, spoke about the threat of fundamentalism stemming
from Iran and warned that nuclear weapons in the hands of religious
dictatorship ruling that country would certainly put the security in
the region and the world in jeopardy.
The final speaker, Ms. Sarvnaz Chitsaz, chair of the NCRI’s Women’s
Committee, praised the PMOI members in Camp Ashraf for their
steadfastness and described them as the main obstacle to spread of
fundamentalism in Iraq which has turned them into mullahs’ terrorist
target in that country.
The gathering ended with messages of solidarity by various Iranian groups and personalities.
