In the memory of Danielle Mitterrand
We cannot forget that in 1984, when hundreds of members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) were being executed by Khomeini on a daily basis, she appeared on the side of the Iranian Resistance’s Leader, Massoud Rajavi, in order to defend human rights in Iran.
We cannot forget that in 1987, when Iranian refugees in France became victims of a deal and were expelled to Gabon, she visited their families who had launched a hunger strike, in order to show her support.
