كلمة مريم رجوي في المؤتمر السنوي العام للمقاومة الإيرانية بباريس

Deep military and nuclear cooperation between the two states makes dealing with these challenges even more difficult. One may have thought lessons would have been learnt from the devastating lessons of appeasement from World War II – yet the approaches adopted vis-à-vis North Korea and Iran in signing nuclear agreements have raised accusations that Neville Chamberlain’s famous policy is still alive and well.

On Wednesday, 13 September 2017, the Friends of a Free Iran in the European Parliament (FOFI), held a conference at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Strasbourg with the participation of dozens of MEPs.

In particular, they called for an independent investigation by the United Nations into the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran in 1988 and the preparation of the trial for those responsible for this crime.

By INU Staff INU - The democratic elections held by the Iranian Resistance show that there is indeed an alternative to the repressive, totally rule of the mullahs, according to one political scientist. Dr. Majid Rafizadeh wrote an op-ed for Arab News, entitled Iran’s opposition shows how to run an election, in which he dismissed claims by the Iranian Regime and their apologists that the mullahs are the only option for governing Iran. He wrote: “Proponents of the Iranian government argue that there exist no better alternatives to the political establishment of the ruling clerics. The reality is, though, that there are indeed alternative establishments — ones that are organized and democratic. As Iran finds itself engulfed in domestic and external turmoil, the opposition-in-exile has shown that it enjoys a tremendous amount of prowess and cohesion, and upholds democracy and democratic values.”
