In a strong demonstration of international solidarity with Iran’s pro-democracy movement, 56 members of Moldova’s 101-seat parliament have signed a joint statement expressing support for the Iranian Resistance. The statement also endorses the Ten-Point Plan of Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). This declaration comes as global concern mounts over Tehran’s ongoing human rights violations and its increasing efforts to destabilize the region.

Signatories to the statement include high-ranking Moldovan officials: Igor Grosu, President of Parliament; Doina Gherman, Vice President; and Ina Coșeru, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Commission. Other prominent figures such as Larisa Voloh, Adrian Belîi, and former Justice Minister Olesea Stamate also endorsed the initiative, joined by eight deputy chairs of key parliamentary commissions—reflecting wide institutional backing.

The statement condemned Iran’s extensive use of executions and political repression, highlighting the late 2024 death sentences of nine political prisoners linked to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The lawmakers praised ongoing resistance efforts and emphasized that the Iranian people had decisively rejected both monarchic and theocratic dictatorship during the 2022 nationwide uprising.

Moldovan MPs urged the international community to support the Iranian people’s right to resist tyranny and called for official recognition of the PMOI’s Resistance Units. They also demanded that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) be designated as a terrorist organization, citing its central role in domestic repression and regional aggression.

The statement reaffirmed support for democratic principles championed by the Iranian opposition, including secular governance, gender equality, and the rejection of mandatory religious laws such as the compulsory hijab. The legislators noted the regime’s dependence on proxy groups and foreign interventions, observing that recent blows to allies like the Syrian dictatorship and Hezbollah have weakened Tehran’s influence.

By aligning with Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan, the Moldovan parliament joins a growing international coalition calling for a peaceful, democratic transition in Iran. This initiative follows a broader global movement—bolstered in 2024 by the endorsements of over 4,000 legislators and more than 100 former heads of state and government.
