The power outages happen even as Iran sits on a sea of oil and one can easily accommodate the people\u2019s electricity needs.

The result is that Khamenei is building a bomb and will not stop. Any agreement he signs to reduce these activities, and any promise he makes, are pure lies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that \u201cany agreement that does not completely close down the regime\u2019s bomb-making, enrichment and nuclear facilities is unacceptable. And the Iranian people will not accept it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opposition president also the regime must also be obliged \u201cto withdraw the Revolutionary Guard Crops (IRGC) from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Lebanon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, any agreement that doesn\u2019t take into account the brutal human rights violations in Iran and does not oblige the mullahs to stop torturing and executing young Iranians will be unacceptable, Mrs. Rajavi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnything less, in any wrapping, is tantamount to caving in to the mullahs\u2019 nuclear catastrophe,\u201d she said, adding that the nuclear weapons program is \u201can important part of Khamenei\u2019s strategy to escape his overthrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But overthrow is a fate that the regime cannot escape, Mrs. Rajavi emphasized. \u201cDespite all these sufferings, the Iranian people and their Resistance are determined to overthrow the religious dictatorship. And it will not matter if the regime is nuclear armed or not, we will overthrow it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Maryam Rajavi addresses the second day of the Free Iran World Summit\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MGtf9YoDbBs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"baroness-betty-boothroyd-former-speaker-of-the-house-of-commons\">Baroness Betty Boothroyd, former Speaker of the House of Commons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Baroness-Betty-Boothroyd.jpg\" alt=\"Baroness Betty Boothroyd, former Speaker of the House of Commons\n\" class=\"wp-image-23411\" 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\/2021\/07\/Baroness-Betty-Boothroyd.jpg 616w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Baroness-Betty-Boothroyd-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><figcaption><em>Baroness Betty Boothroyd, former Speaker of the House of Commons<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Greetings\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madame Rajavi<\/a>, as I do to the people of Iran, to our friends in Ashraf 3, and to dignitaries gathered here for this event. It is a privilege to join you all to this year\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/freeiran-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free Iran Global Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We gather, of course, at a critical and decisive time in Iran\u2019s history. In a democracy, people like me, campaign enthusiastically and publicly in the streets, encouraging people to go out, use your votes, I say to them, \u201cMake your own choice about the government of your country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is your birthright to do so. It\u2019s not a luxury, it is an important civil rights and civil liberty.\u201d And as the people of Iran have no such civil liberties, they were not given a choice. That they made their choice very clear indeed. When the time came, their choice was a resounding\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/06\/30\/what-does-the-iran-election-boycott-tell-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national boycott<\/a>\u00a0of the regime is a phony election. I say, well done, my friends in Iran, I salute you. As my friend Maryam said, \u201cThe people show to the Iranian dictators and to the world that they want real change, genuine change, and not a masquerade of statesman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are reminded, especially today, of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/tomorrow-s-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madame Rajavi\u2019s 10-point plan<\/a>\u00a0for the future of Iran, which encompasses the democratic aspirations of the people. And guarantee is the realization of their long-standing desire for civil liberty, and for the democratic process. It is no coincidence that women of all ages are in the vanguard of this popular resistance movement against the regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I admire the role women are taking and the courage they demonstrate in doing so. For world leaders and the international community, this summit, with thousands in attendance, reflects only a small portion of the strong support the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI\u00a0<\/a>and its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">President\u00a0<\/a>has among the Iranian people and worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friends, the time has come to recognize this democratic alternative, unpopular movement, as it marches and certainly marches to victory for a free Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stand with you, men and women of Iran, and support you until the day when we can gather to rejoice for the final celebration in Tehran, the capital of a free and democratic nation.

After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raisi<\/a>\u2018s emergence as president in Iran, the United Kingdom, European Union, and United States of America must unite behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI<\/a>, its President-Elect <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a> and the people of Iran, because they are our best allies to secure a free Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, ladies and gentlemen, today, I\u2019m delighted to announce that so far, over 100 of my colleagues have signed a very <a href=\"https:\/\/iran-freedom.org\/index.php\/581-press-release-british-mps-uk-must-stand-with-the-people-of-iran-and-support-the-national-boycott-by-rejecting-raisi-as-president\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strong statement<\/a> on Iran. And here it is, in the red book from the House of Lords and the Green Book from the House of Commons. And this statement, rejects the brutal religious dictatorship in Iran, and supports the Iranian resistance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madame Rajavi<\/a>. So, let me read parts of this statement, signed by 102 members of Parliament and members of the House of Lords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe the missing piece in our policy is disregarding the objective conditions in Iran, and the yearning of the Iranian people for freedom and democracy. During nationwide protests over the past few years, the Iranian people have clearly and loudly rejected the notions of moderates versus the hardliners, and have expressed their desire for genuine change and outcome that remains in the hands of the Iranian people and their resistance movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/tomorrow-s-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-point plan<\/a> outlined by President-elect of the NCRI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a> and her calls for the establishment of Republic in Iran, based on free and fair elections, separation of religion and state, gender equality, non-discrimination against religious and ethnic minorities, and a non-nuclear Iran deserve our support. We call on our governments to adopt a firm policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the regime in Iran and to hold its leaders to account for suppressing the Iranian people engaging in terrorism in Europe, meddling in the region and taken hostage individuals withdraw citizenship. We also call for the imposition of tougher sanctions, as long as the Iranian regime continues with its rogue behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we call on our governments to stand with the Iranian people and the desire for human rights, freedom, and democracy. The recent presidential election and the announcement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> as president reflects the dead end that the Mullahs\u2019 regime finds itself in. It is a regime bereft of any ideas, with nowhere else to go but to revert to pointing the finger from the ideological hardline. As a well documented director of numerous human rights abuses, Raisi\u2019s appointment brazenly displays the content of the fundamentalist gullible as for any kind of positive dialogue or reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, ladies and gentlemen, I together with my colleagues in the British Parliament, strongly support a call by the Secretary General of Amnesty International, as well as Professor Javid Raman, the Special Rapporteur for human rights in Iran to independently investigate the crimes against humanity committed by this butcher Raisi and prosecute him for sending 10s of 1000s of people to the gallows in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> summer of 1988<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And over the past four decades, this brutal man must be put in prison and not become the president of our great country, which is what Iran is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sir David Amess's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JJfUcU4thqg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"david-jones-deputy-chairman-of-the-european-research-group-since-2020-mp-for-cloud-west-since-2005\">David Jones, Deputy Chairman of the European Research Group since 2020, MP for Cloud West since 2005<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David-Jones.jpg\" alt=\"David Jones, Deputy Chairman of the European Research Group since 2020, MP for Cloud West since 2005\" class=\"wp-image-23422\" 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\/2021\/07\/David-Jones.jpg 616w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/David-Jones-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><figcaption><em>David Jones, Deputy Chairman of the European Research Group since 2020, MP for Cloud West since 200<\/em>5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madam President-elect<\/a>, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, people of Iran, and especially friends and residents of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/ashraf1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ashraf 3<\/a>, all of us attending this event today agreed that the future of Iran must be decided by the Iranian people.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madam Rajavi<\/a>, you and your movement have spearheaded the quest for freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You call for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/06\/18\/live-report-widespread-boycott-of-the-mullahs-sham-presidential-election-by-the-iranian-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boycott of the sham presidential election<\/a>, and the majority of Iranians answered your call in a clear rejection of the theocratic dictatorship. Your movement and its resistance units inside Iran have helped the people to carry out this campaign by mobilizing the opposition to the regime and organizing protests across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is why, as we can see by the strong attendance today and the boycott of the national election, that you have strong support among Iranians and among cross-party parliamentarians in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Europe. The momentum is growing in your favor at this critical moment in Iran\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, in a sign of clear weakness and desperation, the regime and Supreme Leader chose a man who has been called the butcher of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>\u00a0as its president. This should be a source of alarm to the international community and reinforce the case for an investigation into the massacre\u2013 an inquiry that the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran has called for following Raisi\u2019s emergence. The UK should now press the United Nations to launch an independent inquiry into the 1988 massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The families of the victims and the entire Iranian people deserve that justice. And I know that such an inquiry has widespread cross-party support in both houses of the United Kingdom Parliament, and is the best way for the government to show the Iranian people that the United Kingdom stands with them, and not with their oppressors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, 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\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI<\/a>\u00a0led by Madame Rajavi as the viable democratic alternative to the regime in Iran, that is such a menace to the Iranian people, and a threat to the wider world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madame Rajavi, your resistance has for the past 40 years advised the international community that the regime ruling Iran is not capable of reform. History has shown us that any attempt to unearth any ounce of real moderation within the regime is futile. Despite your sound guy who was a western pilot, instead of supporting the Iranian people in their resistance, pursued the wrong path by attempting to appease the Mullahs\u2019 regime by prescribing your legitimate movement, dealing a heavy blow to the democratic will of the people of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach that you advocated all along was the correct one, and the one that the west pursued was wrong.

It\u2019s a pleasure to join the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/freeiran-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free Iran World Summit<\/a>. President-Elect <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, can I thank you for the leadership, hope, and vision you continue to provide for the Iranian people during these dark, ugly years of the regime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yours is a vision of hope and light against multiple crimes, and dufty traits designed to tarnish the opposition and deny the truth. Everything from diplomats who smile and flatter while threatening simultaneously. And those like <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/02\/05\/assadi-sentenced-to-20-years-in-prison-for-terror-plot-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Asadollah Asadi<\/a> who let the mask slip completely and expose their terrorist credentials are the PD agents who pose as victims of alleged PM who committed crimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too often, we\u2019ve listened to these receipts, they\u2019ve led us to deny you the support you deserve. They led to the binding of the PMI, which was eventually corrected in the legitimate courts of the US, EU, and UK, where justice can prevail. They led to claims of respect and support for the opposition to let Iran descend into the carnage that is severe today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what is present in Iran? A place for those in charge, executing innocent people at will, where protesters disappear in the night, where basic rights are denied, where money that could be used for food and vaccines is diverted to weapons for terrorist groups, fighting proxy wars, a place obsessed with adding to the nuclear threat the world already faces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what the clerical regime expects the west to protect. We should have listened to the opposition years ago, instead of practicing appeasement. We might have avoided giving so much in return for so little over nuclear weapons. We might have shown more compassion, and given more assistance to the people of Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty. We have a second chance. We\u2019ve seen the farce of the latest presidential election in Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve witnessed the treachery over the nuclear deal. Now is the time to stand square with a democratic aspiration of the Iranian people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the time for the British people to put things right, ensure support for you and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/tomorrow-s-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-point plan<\/a> for a free and democratic Iran. Iran will be free. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Steve McCabe's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yosaXVgaUek?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bob-blackman-british-mp\">Bob Blackman, British MP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bob-Blackman.jpg\" alt=\"Bob Blackman, British MP\" class=\"wp-image-23438\" 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\/2021\/07\/Bob-Blackman.jpg 620w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bob-Blackman-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption><em>Bob Blackman, British MP<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madame Rajavi<\/a>, honorable colleagues, people of Iran, ladies and gentlemen, it\u2019s great to be with you today, at least virtually. And an honor to join parliamentarians and Iranians from all around the world for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/freeiran-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this international gathering<\/a>\u00a0to support the people of Iran and the resistance movement, which calls for justice, and a free Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 2016, my colleagues and I, tabled a parliamentary motion with regard to the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, which were killed in Iran\u2019s prisons in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/story-of-1988-massacre-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">summer of 1988<\/a>, including women and children, and all political prisoners, who supported the opposition movement of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMOI<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This motion was one of the most supported parliamentary motions during the 2016-2017 session, which urged the United Kingdom Government to recognize and condemn this brutal massacre as a crime against humanity, and ask the United Nations to order an investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, in July 2018, my colleagues and I tabled another parliamentary motion, condemning\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/02\/05\/assadi-sentenced-to-20-years-in-prison-for-terror-plot-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the attempted bombing of the gathering of the Iranian opposition<\/a>\u00a0in Paris, for free Iran, the alternative. I was one of those representatives at the conference, and indeed, had the terrorist plot succeeded, I had many other colleagues in the UK Parliament, and parliamentarians from across the world, including, sad to say, the leaders of the free Iran movement would have been killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even worse, we now know, of course, that that was held and that terrorist attempt was made by an Iranian diplomat using the diplomatic pouches to pass the ball to terrorists who would then go from Belgium into France to Paris to place that bomb underneath the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the motion that we put down was supported by a large number of my colleagues in the British Parliament. And as to the strong support for our two parliamentary motions, reflects the strong cross-party support the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI\u00a0<\/a>enjoys, and indeed, the President-Elect Madam Rajavi enjoys in the UK Parliament and amongst your friends in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our two parliamentary motions show that there is strong support of bringing the mass murderers to justice, including a sham election of the president of Iran, who, of course, was responsible for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>. And I would like to make this pledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That 35 of our colleagues in the commons and lords, including many of my colleagues who are present today, made the history and destroyed the terror attack against the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMOI<\/a>, which was a great victory, not only for the Iranian resistance and for you,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>, but for the people of Iran. We are going to take the mass murderer,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0Ebrahim Raisi\u00a0<\/a>to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We call on the United Nations Security Council to refer him to the International Criminal Court and try him as a criminal against humanity. And this is a must, as you always say, Mrs. Rajavi, we can, and we must. Let us call for a free Iran. Iran will be free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Bob Blackman's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EttKVtCZzIY?list=PLX_G5GCxiq1Mx6d7dt2UECewpW9MxUUSP\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dr-matthew-offord-mp-for-hendon\">Dr. Matthew Offord, MP for Hendon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Matthew-Offord.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Matthew Offord, MP for Hendon\" class=\"wp-image-23442\" 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\/2021\/07\/Matthew-Offord.jpg 611w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Matthew-Offord-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><figcaption><em>Dr. Matthew Offord, MP for Hendon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Madam Rajavi, this great Free Iran summit and the huge support this resistant movement has inside and outside of Iran with over 1,000 parliamentarians of political dignitaries from all five continents throughout the world clearly shows the vast support that you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we have seen the selection of a known perpetrator of gross human rights violations Ebrahim Raisi as the next president in Iran meanwhile the regime continues to rich uranium to 65% without any credible civilian use and refuses to cooperate with either the IAEA or the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any honest observer today can see that the Iranian people want a different Iran, an Iran free from the religious dictatorship.

The pandemic has wreaked havoc, and the sham presidential election, which was loudly boycotted by the Iranian people, proves once more that the regime cannot be trusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after rigging and inflating the votes, the regime could not claim a voter turnout higher than 48%. It is clear that the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/06\/30\/what-does-the-iran-election-boycott-tell-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boycott\u00a0<\/a>was a huge political blow to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2020\/10\/24\/who-is-ali-khamenei-iranian-regime-supreme-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Khamenei\u00a0<\/a>and his regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, Iran is entering a new era with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raisi\u00a0<\/a>as President. As you know, he has been involved in human rights violations for the past four decades. There is no indication why a Raisi government would not continue to perpetrate such violations within a culture of reigning impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The international community must respond adequately and hold Raisi to account for his past and future actions. The European Union it self has tools at its disposal for this, and we\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 should make use of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raisi\u2019s rise to power is a direct consequence of the international community\u00b4s appeasement towards Iran. It is another proof that, much like we have seen over the past 40 years, this regime is incapable of reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cmoderate vs hardliner\u201d paradigm, that many in the West had believed in, is debunked. In fact, the Iranian people\u2019s protest chant on the street has lately been: \u201cReformer, Hardliner, the game is now over.\u201d This is why we need a new policy toward the regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experience has shown us that the fundamentalist regime in Iran cannot be trusted. This regime has lied about its nuclear program for the past 20 years, so we cannot isolate this one issue with all the other issues of the regime.\u00a0 It would be wrong to assume that once the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-source-reports\/iran-s-nuclear-weapons-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JCPOA\u00a0<\/a>is in place, the international community can address the regime\u2019s other threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right policy should not just focus on the regime\u2019s nuclear weapons program, but also its ballistic missile program, its sponsoring of terrorism, its regional malign influence and its human rights violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these elements should be part of a coherent and comprehensive policy toward the regime. A core part of this strategy however must be our clear and public display of solidarity with the Iranian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Union and the international community should stand with the people of Iran in their quest for freedom. The world should demand from the Iranian regime to free all political prisoners and to stop torture and ill-treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human rights should be our top priority, and we should make our relations and negotiations with the regime contingent on its absolute respect for human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We stand in solidarity with the people of Iran, as they demand respect for their fundamental human rights and freedoms. We stand in solidarity with the people of Iran, so they can choose their leaders freely and democratically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular protests during these last years have shown that the Iranian people demonstrated their desire for fundamental change. They desire free and fair elections, freedom of speech, gender equality and no discrimination against religious minorities or different ethnicities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of you, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>\u00a0and Mrs.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u00a0are working towards this goal and deserve our support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is now up to us, the international community, to hear these voices, and to put them front and center in our strategy towards the regime. Thank you all, and I wish you a successful summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Antonio L\u00f3pez-Ist\u00fariz White's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8hNX1EeOz08?list=PLX_G5GCxiq1Mx6d7dt2UECewpW9MxUUSP\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"radoslaw-sikorski-mep-minister-of-foreign-affairs-in-donald-tusk-s-cabinet-between-2007-and-2014\">Rados\u0142aw Sikorski, MEP, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Donald Tusk\u2019s cabinet between 2007 and 2014<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"619\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Radoslaw-Sikorski.jpg\" alt=\"Rados\u0142aw Sikorski, MEP, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Donald Tusk's cabinet between 2007 and 2014\" class=\"wp-image-23481\" 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\/2021\/07\/Radoslaw-Sikorski.jpg 619w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Radoslaw-Sikorski-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><figcaption><em>Rados\u0142aw Sikorski, MEP, Minister of Foreign Affairs in Donald Tusk\u2019s cabinet between 2007 and 2014<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 is one of outrage at the recent election and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the election of a man<\/a>\u00a0who is universally condemned as one of the systemic violators of human rights, a man condemned by Amnesty International someone who has been the regime\u2019s enforcer, and someone who is stands accused of gross human rights violations, particularly the execution of 1000s of political prisoners in Tehran in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can the regime even expect us to meet with [Raisi], to talk to this person?

We are gathering in a time when someone under the most serious accusations of crimes against humanity has been installed as the next president in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an appalling evidence that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>\u00a0based his career on promoting encouraging and holding the massive killing of 30,000 political prisoners, even Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri objected to these killings and in a secret recording released in 2016 he\u2019s heard calling on Raisi and the fellow executioners, in my view, the biggest atrocity in the Islamic Republic for which the history will condemn us has been committed their hands and your hands, and in future, your name will go down in history as criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Raisi publicly defended these killings as one of the proud achievements of the system. We, as a group of MPs stated in a letter right after Raisi was announced that European leaders and the European Union are faced with this hard reality. We cannot have business as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We cannot close our eyes to human rights violations and oppression of women. We cannot ignore the Iranian regime of terrorism that has taken 85 million Iranian hostages. At this precise moment, we have to show our commitment to democracy and human rights and our support for the Iranian people to decide for free elections in a free and democratic Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last February, a Belgian court sentenced the regime\u2019s terrorist diplomat\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/02\/05\/assadi-sentenced-to-20-years-in-prison-for-terror-plot-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Asadollah Asadi to 20 years in prison<\/a>. Three of his accomplices were also sentenced to between 15 and 18 years in prison for plotting a terrorist attack against the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Threats of terrorism and abduction by the clerical regime double down on the need for a firm policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have in Europe, a sanctions mechanism against the act.

These kinds of meetings are very important, as they help us to raise awareness of the situation in Iran and gather vital support among the members of the European Parliament in Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me state clearly that I fully support the aspirations of the Iranian people who want to live in a free, stable, inclusive and democratic country. I strongly condemned arbitrary detention of protesters, tours of prisoners and mass executions by the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is simply unacceptable in a modern world. We need to do our best to stop these massive human rights violations. That is why I have continuously appealed to the commission and council to raise human rights violations as a core component of the bilateral cooperation with Iran and to impose sanctions against those responsible for human rights abuses.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>\u00a0and the main perpetrators of crimes against the Iranian people need to face consequences for all crimes they have committed against humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I would like to renew my solidarity and profound support for your tireless efforts,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>\u00a0and your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/tomorrow-s-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-point plan\u00a0<\/a>for a free Iran.

The Iranian resistance had said and stood by their word for 40 years that this regime is not capable of reform from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have worked tirelessly to expose the regime\u2019s crimes, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mrs. Rajavi\u00a0<\/a>has said time and again that the policy of appeasement is a failed policy and the only language the regime understands is crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, with the coming of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, the regime\u2019s new president, this call has been taken seriously. The United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Iran called on June 29, 2021, for an independent inquiry into state order executions of thousands of political prisoners in 1998, and the role played by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/iran-who-is-ebrahim-raisi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raisi\u00a0<\/a>as the heroine Deputy Prosecutor. This included his direct involvement in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>\u00a0of 30,000 political prisoners, mostly by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMOI\u00a0<\/a>supporters, and also the recent arrests and killing of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">protesters in 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian people demand democratic change and the establishment of a democratic republic that rejects both Shah and mullahs dictatorships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To their national uprising, the people of Iran have expressed these demands in their slogans. Those who invested in this regime are hoping to find moderates who cannot see the result of this simple truth. There is no moderate within the murderous dictatorships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, knowing the merit or power, the Iranian people need to replace the mullahs\u2019 dictatorship with democracy. The alternative exists in Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s movment. Today, it is even more important that we unite behind and support the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI\u00a0<\/a>under the leadership of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>\u00a0with her democratic platform that guarantees the rights of all citizens, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, faith or political tendency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure of my continued support for free Iran.

In keeping with the theme, solidarity with the women of Iran in the struggle to secure basic fundamental human and gender rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important for us all to remember and draw strength, that despite the adversity we confront in our crusade to secure our inalienable human rights, we shall and will not capitulate to the torture, violence and barbarism brought upon us, just like the women everyone are experiencing and are currently being subjected to, and capturing the history of our liberation struggle against apartheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is usually the faces of men that are presented as the heroes to the world. But it was often women who embraced the idea of mass campaigns, and went to jail for the protests long before amended. Alongside the comrades, women enjoyed unimaginable loss, humiliation, detention interrogation, banning orders, house arrest and murder in the struggle for dignity, equality and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the current dictatorship in Iran, women are unable to leave their houses without being accompanied, unable to attend school, unable to work unless permitted by their husbands and are mandated to wear hijabs whenever in public. This is despite Iranian women being at the forefront of the revolution, and a piece done by CBC Radio Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in March 2019, titled The Stolen Revolution: Iranian woman of 1979, centered on how the regime had betrayed the women of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mere weeks of the Ayatollah Khamenei power, Iranian women marched to show their fury at the new regime, which now seem to be turning against them. The rallying cry which brought 10s of 1000s of Iranian women together onto the streets of Tehran on March 8, 1979, was we didn\u2019t have a revolution to go backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The women\u2019s support is at the main opposition to the<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0Mujahideen-e-Khalq<\/a>\u00a0who are Muslims, but we\u2019re at the forefront of defending the rights of women to choose their own attire. Suppression of women in Iran has been institutionalized. The mullahs\u2019 Sharia laws have been used to oppress, subjugate, humiliate, abuse, undermine, and strip the women of Iran, their dignity, just like apartheid did to the black woman of South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The genocide of some<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a030,000 young men and women who were killed\u00a0<\/a>because of their political beliefs against the system. We call upon the international community to condemn and demonize such acts against the many lives lost. They need to support everyone against this brutal regime. We must acknowledge the brave women and men who have laid their lives at risk against the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Council of resistance of Iran<\/a>\u00a0led by the president like Mrs.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u00a0is the Iranians\u2019 people\u2019s opposition to the current regime. It is a four decade old coalition of democratic forces that have persevered against the mullahs\u2019 fascism. Mrs. Rajavi advocates a 10-point plan for the future of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This impressive plan affirms the people\u2019s sovereignty in a problem founded on universal suffrage and tourism, support social, religious and political freedoms, seeks justice for those massacred in purpose of torture and the death penalty, ensures gender equality pursues the independence of the judiciary employs equal opportunities within a free trade market economy and provides for non-nuclear one as well as the protection of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regime ruling Iran must be held to account by world governments and the United Nations for its heinous crimes against humanity. Now it\u2019s time to hold\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>\u00a0to a conference role in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/story-of-1988-massacre-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK\u00a0<\/a>supporters and other political prisoners. Now is not the time for silence and inaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must forge your way forward together and find a collective way against Iran\u2019s regime for the freedom and prosperity of this generation and the next. As my grandmother remarked, \u201cThere is no longer anything I can do. There is nothing that the government has not done to me, there isn\u2019t any pain I haven\u2019t known.\u201d As the mother of the nation, she showed strength and the invisible spirit is done against a brutal, racist and oppressive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, what I have tried to emphasize is if we as women want to drive meaningful change together to bring about human rights and equality, we can only achieve this if we bring about meaningful systemic, structural and prevalent societal changes, which requires a paradigm shift in our societal system and belief system. I thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Zamaswazi Dlamini- Mandela's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SJxL8IPfdXI?list=PLX_G5GCxiq1Mx6d7dt2UECewpW9MxUUSP\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aude-de-thuin-founder-and-president-of-women-s-forum-for-the-economy-and-society-france\">Aude de Thuin, Founder and President of Women\u2019s Forum for the Economy and Society \u2013 France<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"588\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Aude-de-Thuin.jpg\" alt=\"Aude de Thuin, Founder and President of Women\u2019s Forum for the Economy and Society \u2013 France\" class=\"wp-image-23589\" 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\/2021\/07\/Aude-de-Thuin.jpg 588w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Aude-de-Thuin-300x222.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" \/><figcaption><em>Aude de Thuin, Founder and President of Women\u2019s Forum for the Economy and Society \u2013 France<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We have to cry out to the world.

This is another reminder that the regime does not have the best of its people on this agenda, but rather invests billions of dollars from the country\u2019s wealth, nuclear program, and it is certainly destabilizing activities in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By appointing Raisi as the next president, the Supreme Leader signals that the dictatorship will continue to press for the head as the same on a safer path eroding with repression, terrorism, and events in a nuclear program that has no civilian use. This shows that the regime in Iran cannot be trusted with dialogue, essentially, and the only way forward is to firm and pressure Iran to abandon its unacceptable behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, today, at this summit, we have seen and heard that there exists another alternative to the regime, a democratic alternative that sets the priorities and aspirations of the Iranian people first, a democratic alternative that wants Iran to live in peace with its neighbors, and cooperate with the outside world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This democratic alternative is represented by the National Council of Resistance (<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI<\/a>) and stipulations in the 10-point plan of the NCRI President-Elect<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0Madam Rajavi\u00a0<\/a>as this clearly demonstrated joined the Free Iran Summit. It has strong support among Iranians and international recognition, which is often repeated by the regime that the democratic opposition is finished and has no proper support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is now time to for the EU and European leaders, including our own leaders, indeed our all foreign minister, Minister Coveney, who is currently sits on the UN to accept this reality and admits that the best way forward is to stand with the Iranian people and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NRCI\u00a0<\/a>for a free and democratic Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, stand on the side of millions, not the mullahs.

I first want to offer my unwavering support and admiration for the hard work you\u2019re all doing to create a better future for free and democratic Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been a long, hard fight, and each time I am invited to speak here or meet with the Iranian community in Canada, I\u2019m inspired by the tenacity and heart of the Iranian people. You are relentless in your fight, and you must be for the sake of all around.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/tomorrow-s-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-point plan\u00a0<\/a>clearly lays out our angle of adjusting to a democratic, free, and peaceful future for all Iranians. It also reminds me how much Canada can and must do to support\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi\u00a0<\/a>and each and every one of you to achieve the Iran of the future you deserve: Iran that respects human rights, the rule of law, liberty, democracy, and individual liberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over my time as a member of Parliament, one of my proudest moments was in 2017 when Senator Raynell Andreychuk and I successfully saw our bill, the justice for victims of foreign officials act, Canada\u2019s own Sergei Magnitsky law, passed with unanimous support in both the Senate and House of Commons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a monumental and emotional occasion. Parliament had taken a clear stand and gave the federal government the tools needed to combat international corruption and the abuse of human rights, in addition to naming and shaming despots, tyrants and kleptocrats. The Magnitsky law ensures Canada cannot be used as a safe haven by corrupt foreign officials and gross human violators, who have all illicitly enriched themselves for the abuse of their authority and want to take advantage of Canada\u2019s lucrative financial and real estate markets and stable economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, speaking to you now, four years later, I\u2019m deeply frustrated and disappointed to say Canada has largely allowed these powers to collect us. Well, the crimes were designed to punish for happening with alarming frequency, especially in Iran under the terrorist regime in Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Myself, my colleagues and Her Majesty\u2019s loyal opposition have spoken in the House of Commons sent many letters to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, hosted events on Parliament Hill, and still the Government of Canada has refused to use Magnitsky sanctions against President\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raisi<\/a>, Supreme Leader Khomeini, former President\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2019\/09\/24\/hassan-rouhani-crimes-iran-mek-1988massacre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rouhani<\/a>, and any other Iranian officials responsible for the ongoing human rights abuses against Syrian citizens, the systemic corruption, the horrific\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>\u00a0and the downing of Ukrainian International Airlines\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/new-information-shed-more-lights-on-the-role-of-irans-senior-officials-irgc-in-downing-ukrainian-airliner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flight PS752<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The liberal government\u2019s own report on the cause of downing and passenger flight PS752, showed a disgusting and willful blindness. They refuse to blame the Iranian regime for firing the missiles that brought down the aircraft. Questions are also being raised on why the Royal Canadian Mounted Police very quickly declined to investigate the shooting down of PS752 as the largest murder of Canadians since the downing of the Air India flight 182 in 1985. In my opinion, that decision must be revisited. Terrorist atrocities committed against Canadians wherever they are in the world must be fully investigated by the proper authorities. It is simply not good enough to leave these matters in the hands of bloodthirsty terrorist regimes and take their word for what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, that is exactly what the Liberal government has done in Canada. Families of the victims of flight PS752 have shared with me their deep disappointment in the Canadian government as it continues to appease the Iranian regime by refusing to lay any accountability on the Iranian theocracy, refusing to list the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC\u00a0<\/a>as a terrorist organization or take legal action at the International Court to bring to justice all who are responsible for this atrocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me be clear, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC\u00a0<\/a>is a terrorist entity. I know that, you know that, the Parliament of Canada passed a motion to declare that in June 2018, and just last month, the Superior Court of Ontario ruled the IRGC a terrorist organization. Unfortunately, the Trudeau government has sat on its hands for over three years, and has failed to officially list the IRGC as a terrorist entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This combined with the video of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau glad handing and backslapping around so-called Foreign Minister shows that the current Liberal government would rather shamefully appease the oppressive and brutal regime and Tehran than seek justice for victims of terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So today, I, along with other like-minded Canadian parliamentarians, pledged to fight for all pro-democracy Iranian activists and ensure Canada does more to support you in fulfilling your aspirations for free and inclusive Iran. I can assure you that a future Conservative government, Canada, can and will do more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then. I\u2019ll continue to use my voice in Canada\u2019s House of Commons and take every opportunity to push our government to better support all Iranians for fighting for freedom, democracy, and human rights. Together, we will succeed. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"James Bezan's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7jWb3vjzGpY?list=PLX_G5GCxiq1Mx6d7dt2UECewpW9MxUUSP\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"candice-bergen-canadian-mp\">Candice Bergen, Canadian MP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"605\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Candice-Bergen.jpg\" alt=\"Candice Bergen, Canadian MP\" class=\"wp-image-23627\" 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\/2021\/07\/Candice-Bergen.jpg 605w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Candice-Bergen-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><figcaption><em>Candice Bergen, Canadian MP<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Freedom, democracy, gender equality, the separation of religion, and government.

I do not intend to repeat what our guests have said. As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/isjcommittee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ISJ\u00a0<\/a>President, I would like to share with you our conclusion from these unique and eloquent events. And this conclusion is the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There remains no excuse for tolerating the evil regime of Iran anymore. Determination of the<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>\u00a0for a free Iran as we have all heard from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>\u2018s speech in this event leaves no note that Iranian people are resolute to change this regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, we have heard clear messages from inside Iran by those who are risking their lives to reach out to express their desire for regime change. All the valuable contributions made in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/freeiran-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this unique three-day summit<\/a>\u00a0indicate a strong international support for the Iranian people\u2019s will for such change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I am addressing the European leaders and the regime in pieces to say this. Let us face it. Despite all your placements, the regime has not given nor will it give you sentiment concessions. By appeasing the mullahs, you will only be distancing yourself from the Iranian people, who want to get rid of the mullahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And also you are discrediting Europe, discrediting the European Union, in the minds of millions of Iranians, who see the appeasement policy with a mocking look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If our governments do not turn their back to the mullahs to face the Iranian people, they will be their absolute losers, and we will trample upon the European values for which millions of people, millions of Europeans lost their lives in the 20th century. In the end, let me inform you that the International Committee in Search of Justice has pledged more than ever before to achieve change of the European Union policy in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in this regard, we will welcome all the dignitaries participating in the summit to join and help. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ys_ES6L-_vE?list=PLX_G5GCxiq1Mx6d7dt2UECewpW9MxUUSP\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"struan-stevenson-scottish-mep-1999-2014\">Struan Stevenson, Scottish MEP(1999 \u2013 2014)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Stevenson.jpg\" alt=\"Struan Stevenson, former President of European Parliament\n\" class=\"wp-image-23641\" 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\/2021\/07\/Stevenson.jpg 621w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Stevenson-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><figcaption><em>Struan Stevenson, former President of European Parliament<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-ebrahim-raisi-a-mass-murderer-for-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, the president-elect of Iran pulling <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/06\/18\/live-report-widespread-boycott-of-the-mullahs-sham-presidential-election-by-the-iranian-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a sham election<\/a>, is due to take up his office in August.

The talks will bring together heads of state, climate experts, and campaigners to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>200 world leaders and more than 30,000 delegates are expected to attend. But as we all know, <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2019\/03\/20\/ebrahim-raisi-massacres-henchman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raisi <\/a>is on the US sanctions list for serial human rights violations. He is a murderer and a perpetrator of genocide, who was openly boasted of his role as a member of the death commission, which oversaw the massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">summer of 1988<\/a>. Most of those executed, including many teenagers, and even pregnant women, were supporters of the main opposition <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mujahadeen-e-Khalq (MEK)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raisi was until his elevation to the presidency Chief of Iran\u2019s judiciary, where he was able to indulge his expertise as a mass executioner. He has directed the hanging of 251 people in 2019, 267 people in 2020, and scores of executions so far in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to eyewitness survivors, Raisi often supervise the torture of men and women, and then personally attended their execution. Agnes Callamard, the Secretary General of <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/08\/07\/amnesty-international-crimes-against-humanity-loom-large-over-ebrahim-raisis-inauguration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amnesty International<\/a>, has called for Raisi to be investigated for crimes against humanity and for his involvement in murder, and forced disappearance and torture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I want to make it clear today that Raisi is not welcome in Scotland. The Scottish people do not like mass murderers. I\u2019m calling the UK government who are hosting the summit and the Scottish Government to ban Raisi\u2019s entry to the UK. He is a pariah president of a pariah state, and he should be treated as such. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last mass murderer who came to Scotland was Hitler\u2019s Deputy Rudolf Hess. He flew to Scotland in 1941 and was immediately arrested and spent the rest of his life in prison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raisi should take note. He will be held accountable for his crimes. There can be no impunity for mass murder and genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Struan Stevenson's Remarks to the Free Iran World Summit 2021- July 11, 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UdgsyRNNmqE?list=PLX_G5GCxiq1Mx6d7dt2UECewpW9MxUUSP\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"paulo-casaca-former-mep\">Paulo Casaca, former MEP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Casaca.jpg\" alt=\"Paulo Casaca, former MEP\" class=\"wp-image-23642\" 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\/2021\/07\/Casaca.jpg 615w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Casaca-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><figcaption><em>Paulo Casaca, former MEP<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Conscious that the theatrics of moderates versus conservatives is no longer able to fool people within or outside its borders.
