NCRI – In a rally outside the UN headquarters in New York, Iranians called on the world body to take urgent action against the religious dictatorship in Iran. The rally which was planned to coincide with the Security Council meeting on mullahs’ regime displayed Iranian people’s total rejection of the regime’s nuclear ambitions.
Participants chanted "No War, No Appeasement – Support Democratic Change in Iran" and "No Concession, No Delay – People Want Change."
A delegation from one of the UN working groups approached the rally and spoke to the organizers and representatives of the Iranian communities in the rally. The delegation received a copy of the declaration adopted by the rally to submit to the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan.
Professor Daniel Zucker, president of the American Association for Democracy in the Middle East also attended the rally and in his brief address he called on the Security Council not to allow the regime to buy time for its nuclear weapons program. He reiterated that a regime which had concealed its nuclear program for 18 years, had no other intention but to develop nuclear weapon. He added that the regime is planning to take the whole world hostage when it does obtain the nuclear weapon, therefore, the whole world should stand firm against the regime.
Professor Zucker concluded that the world community should not loose any time in dealing with the regime and said that the solution to Iranian problem was a regime change through people and its organized resistance, the National Council of Resistance of Iran. He also called for removal of the Council and its largest member organization, the People’s Mojahedin of Iran, from the terror list.
