MARYAM RAJAVI: THE PEOPLE OF IRAN, THE RESISTANCE UNITS, AND REBELLIOUS YOUTH WILL CONTINUE TO END THE REGIME
Message to parliamentary conference in Britain advocating support for the Iran uprising, decisive policy on Iran.
In part of this message, Maryam Rajavi said: We are at a sensitive moment in the history of the people of Iran. The Iranian Resistance seeks to establish a republic based on people’s free choice and vote, separation of religion and state, pluralism, gender equality, and abolition of the death penalty. I urge you to be the voice of the people of Iran in both houses of the UK Parliament. Urge your government to adopt a decisive policy on Iran, and recognize the right of the Iranian people to resistance. Ask them to take urgent action to free those arrested, and take the lead in referring the dossier on the regime’s crimes to the Security Council to prosecute and punish the regime’s leaders.
