The National Council of Resistance of Iran is the parliament-in-exile
of the Iranian Resistance. The NCRI is a broad-based political
coalition comprising five opposition political organizations and
parties and more than 550 well-known political, cultural and social
figures, specialists, artists, intellectuals, sports champions,
scientists, and military officers.
Every part of the spectrum of Iran’s social and political mosaic is
represented in the NCRI, including those of religious, secular, liberal
and nationalist persuasions, as well as the representatives of ethnic
minorities, namely Kurds, Baluchis, Turkmens, and Arabs, Sunni Moslems,
and members of smaller religious communities, such as Jews, Christians
and Zoroastrians. Half of the members of the NCRI are women.
