NCRI – Lord Carlile of Berriew and Lord Clarke of Hampstead, two prominent members of the British House of Lords, have sent messages of support to the upcoming Iranian opposition grand gathering in Paris scheduled for July 1st.
This is a very important gathering… and I will join in line and with the aim of establishing a new government in Iran that I hope will be governed by responsible individuals, such as Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, said Lord Carlile.
For years I have supported your movement and Mrs. Rajavi in your objectives to make Iran a free country. The recent elections in Iran have inflicted major wounds in this regime, he added.
The Iranian opposition conference will aim to keep the beacon of democratic freedoms alive forever, and this is very important… Our message to this gathering is to realize regime change to end crackdown and executions in Iran, Lord Clarke emphasized.
I have many good memories of these rallies where more than 100,000 people participated… the importance of this gathering lies in telling the world the people rallying there have come from all corners of the globe… one of the issues is a new look at the 1988 massacre. This is an opportunity to tell the world the same perpetrators involved in that horrific purge are now ruling this regime, he added.
Lord Clarke was referring to the 1988 massacre of some 30,000 political prisoners in Iran, the majority of which were affiliated to the main opposition group People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK).
