Iranian opposition march in Washington D.C <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, the Iranian opposition held a march in Washington, D.C., in solidarity with the popular uprising in Iran for regime change. The even was supported by distinguished American personalities and was marked with the vast presence of freedom-loving exiled Iranians and supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI) and the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The march, sponsored by the Organization of the Iranian-American Communities (OIAC),<\/a> convoyed this message that the world should stand with the people of Iran in their quest for freedom, regime change, and establishing a free and democratic state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants voiced their support for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), the main opposition and democratic alternative to the tyrannical rule of Tehran\u2019s mullahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\u201cWe call on the United States to support the Iranian uprising,\u201d said Amir Emadi, Iranian activist who made the opening remarks of the event. Emadi also called for the designation of the Iranian regime\u2019s Intelligence Ministry (MOIS<\/a>) as a terrorist organization.\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. designated <\/a>the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>) as a \u201cForeign Terrorist Organization\u201d (FTO<\/a>) recently, and Iranians across the globe have been calling for the MOIS designation as a complementary step to help stop Tehran\u2019s notorious apparatus of terror.

\u201cFellow sympathizers of the Iranian Resistance, rebels for a FreeIran, travelling all the way from across the U.S., to come together in Washington, D.C. The Iranian nation hears your anthems and your cries for freedom. For 40 years, the murderous mullahs have pointed their fingers at the U.S. as the enemy to fend off the people\u2019s fury. Now, the people of Iran cry out in every street and alley that \u2018our enemy is right here; the mullahs lie when they say America is the enemy,\u2019.
