It is a real tribute to the organizational skills of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>that we could pull together in the middle of a worldwide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/component\/tags\/tag\/iran-coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pandemic <\/a>this kind of gathering to bring together old friends and new friends in support of freedom for the people of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know, we\u2019ve been through a lot together over the last decade. When I first came to the first meeting of this organization in Paris, there were still members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK <\/a>in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/camp-ashraf-liberty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Camp Ashraf<\/a> in Iraq. Soon we were working to try to increase the living conditions in Camp Liberty, which was misnamed because there was no liberty there for the MEK members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And thankfully, because of the work of many of the people who have been a part of this movement, we saw finally those individuals moved to <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/iranian-opposition\/6819-albanian-leaders-in-support-of-mek-pmoi.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Albania<\/a>, and thanks to the work of our many, many distinguished supporters. And now I think we are able to focus entirely on our efforts on the real struggle, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">struggle<\/a> for freedom for the people of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen again over the last few years <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iran-protests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uprisings <\/a>in big cities and small cities across Iran people who were pushing for more food, better jobs, a better <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/component\/tags\/tag\/iran-economy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">economy<\/a>, but also importantly, more freedom, for the right to be able to select their own leaders, to be able to live in a country that honored<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/future-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> civil liberties<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen in this last year, the toll that the pandemic has taken, and Madame Rajavi talked about the 70,000 people who are dead in Iran from this terrible pandemic. The fact is, we don\u2019t know how many people have died. That\u2019s really an estimate of those we can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There's no question that the regime is collapsing.

The regime has been interested in only one thing over the last many years, and that is in building a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/a-look-at-irans-nuclear-weapons-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nuclear weapon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That has been where the regime has put their top brains and their money is to try to build a destructive weapon.

We know who the regime fears are going to take its place. And we saw no better evidence of that than in the attempted bombing of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/category\/activities-outside-iran\/annual-gathering\/grand-gathering-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2018 gathering<\/a> of the NCRI in Villepinte, France.<\/p><cite>Linda Chavez<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Three major pledges of the Iranian Resistance <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran2020?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran2020<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MpGLf4xTDH\">pic.twitter.com\/MpGLf4xTDH<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi\/status\/1291389497981177863?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That was an attempt to take out Madame Rajavi and to kill as many of the supporters and terrorizing those who would dare to stand up to the regime.

They have been arraigned this week and we are hopeful that they will remain behind bars for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, why is it that the regime fears <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/the-president-elect-maryam-rajavi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madame Rajavi<\/a>? Is it because she has tanks? Because she has guns? Because she has soldiers who are going to attack the regime? No, it\u2019s not for any of those reasons. It\u2019s for the simple reason that she stands for ideas of liberty. That her<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/tomorrow-s-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> ten-point plan<\/a> is the best hope for the freedom of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"861\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Linda-Chavez.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16903\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Linda-Chavez.jpg 861w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Linda-Chavez-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Linda-Chavez-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Linda-Chavez-750x468.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 861px) 100vw, 861px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She has been a beacon in the wilderness to gather together those who support a free Iran in which the people of that country can enjoy equal freedoms, equal rights before the courts, they will have the power to assemble, the right to express their own views, and the right to worship as they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that\u2019s what the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/iran-irgc-pmoi-mek-uprisings-20191105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regime in Iran fears<\/a> most.
