They condemned the Iranian regime’s plots to impose more pressure on Ashraf residents and demanded their rights to be guaranteed in accordance with international conventions.
Iranian-American community representatives from 12 states traveled to Washington to declare their support for Ashraf residents. A number of the demonstrators have family members in Camp Ashraf.
Mr. Moslem Eskandar Filabi, Chair of the Sports Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), urged President Barack Obama to support the Iranian people against a regime which commits stoning and executions.
Mr. Mohammad Ghorbani, an Iranian national wrestling champion and former world champion, read a message from the association of athletes to demonstrators in their 100th day of protests in defense of Ashraf residents’ rights. Mr. Ghorbani detested the terrorist label against the PMOI in the US, and said, “According to public acknowledgements made by State Department officials in 1997, this shameful label was the result of a deal with the Iranian dictatorship, and conceded a naive goodwill gesture toward the ruling fascism in Iran. He stressed that removing the unreliable and unjust terror label is the criterion of fundamental change when it comes to foreign policy toward Iran. It would undo the strategic blunders committed by the US in the past and pave the way for the Third Option as proposed by the Iranian Resistance’s President-elect, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, which calls for democratic change by the Iranian people and the Iranian Resistance.”
