MEK \/ PMOI\u00a0<\/a>Free\u00a0 Iran rally in Albania<\/a>\u2013 Gerry Horkan, Irish Senator supported MEK and\u00a0 Maryam Rajavi\u2019s plan for a free and democratic Iran<\/a>, July 13, 2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerry Horkan: Good evening,\neverybody. I know I may be the person who\u2019s stopping you from getting your\ndinner, so I\u2019m hoping that I won\u2019t be too long. We are hungry for change, as\nsomeone said earlier, but after so many hours of listening to so many fantastic\nspeakers, I know that you\u2019re all looking forward to being able to socialize and\nhave some food later on. And hopefully I\u2019ll be able to talk to many of you then.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerry Horkan: I just want to say\nit\u2019s an enormous honor for me as an Irish senator from the Irish Parliament to\nbe here with my colleague, former minister John Perry, and it\u2019s a fantastic\nhonor for me to share a platform with so many far important dignitaries than\nme, such as Rudy Giuliani, Joe Lieberman, John Baird, and to be here with\nMaryam Rajavi and so many very famous politicians and members of the U.S.\nmilitary and other military who are here, have traveled long distances to be\nhere to support you and the Iranian people right across the globe and\nparticularly those back in Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerry Horkan: I want to say that\nwe are from the Irish Parliament I bring you greetings from many of my\ncolleagues, some of who would like to be here today. We are with you in your\nquest for democracy, for freedom, and for human rights. We are with you, Madame\nRajavi, and the NCRI in everything you are trying to do. We know the regime is\na threat to peace and stability not just in Iran or even in that regime but\nright across the world and right across Europe. The state sponsored terrorism,\nas has been pointed out by former Mayor Giuliani and others, is causing havoc\nin that region, in Syria, in Yemen, and extending right across to Europe from\nthe effects of what\u2019s happening in Syria. We must never forget that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerry Horkan: In Ireland this\nyear we are celebrating the 100^{th<\/sup> anniversary of our first\nprovisional Parliament, the first indication that we were to become a free\ncountry breaking away from what was years of repression under another regime. We\nare celebrating 100 years of our first Parliament in 1919 and we have a decade\nof centenaries going on at the moment. We never at the time, Irish people did\nnot think they would get their freedom then. Last week I was with the NCRI in\nBerlin and I was at the Brandenburg Gate with Patrick Kennedy and Ms. Betancourt\nand others. Nobody thought when the Berlin Wall was going to fall that it fell\nwhen it did. Nobody thought that the Iron Curtain would fall when it did.\nNobody thought Ireland would get independence when it did. And I think the day\nis coming sooner than you think for the regime to fall and for free, fair and\ndemocratic elections to be held in Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n}

Gerry Horkan: I arrived\nyesterday, or on Thursday evening, or yesterday, and we saw everything that was\ngoing on in terms of the exhibition, the sheer horror. Normally when you go, I\nwas in Budapest, I saw an exhibition about the 1950s, the Soviet regime in\nBudapest. We have seen Auschwitz, things that happened in the past. This is\nwhat is still happening, it is happening in Iran, it is happening ow, they\u2019re\ntrying to silence it. It is an amazing exhibition, a very, very humbling\nexhibition, a very, very terrifying exhibition. But it brings home to me and to\nall of us here what is happening in Iran, the murderous state-sponsored terrorism\nregime that is there. And we must get rid of that regime. As a world, as a\nglobal world, we must all of us do everything we can to bring to an end this\nvicious, dangerous regime that is not allowing its own people to have freedom\nof association, freedom of thought and freedom of expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerry Horkan: I just want to say\nto you that we are here, all of us from so many parts of the world, with you in\nsupport of Madame Rajavi and all of you in your regime. And I hope very soon\nthat we will all be in Tehran supporting and celebrating a free and fair open\nIran. Thank you all very much. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
