Rt Hon. David Jones, Deputy Chairman of the European Research Group since 2020, MP for Cloud West since 2005, addressed at the Free Iran World Summit 2021 on July 11, 2021.
“Madam Rajavi, you and your movement have spearheaded the quest for freedom you called for a boycott of the sham presidential election, and the majority of Iranians answered your call in a clear rejection of the theocratic dictatorship.
In a sign of clear weakness and desperation, the regime and its supreme leader chose a man who has been called the butcher of the 1988 massacre, Ebrahim Raisi, as their president.
The UK should now press the United Nations to launch an independent inquiry into the 1988 massacre. The families of the victims and the entire Iranian people deserve that justice.
I and my colleagues will continue to petition the United Kingdom government to stand with the Iranian people in their pursuit of justice and to recognize the NCRI led by Madam Rajavi as the viable democratic alternative to the regime in Iran”.
