Speech by Bill Richardson<\/a> at Free Iran The Alternative Gathering<\/span>\u00a02018 Villepinte , Paris<\/p>\n

Governor Bill Richardson,<\/a> former US Ambassador to the UN
\nAll you read about is water shortages, lack of free elections, pensions disappearing, and a lot of unrest. You know why? The end is near.<\/p>\n

A lot of people ask, is there an alternative to the mullah\u2019s dictatorship, and the answer is yes. It\u2019s the MEK, it\u2019s Mrs. Rajavi, but it\u2019s you!<\/p>\n

And I say to you, why? Because you are the ones that have fought against the Shah, you\u2019ve fought against the dictatorship, against the religious dictatorship. You were there in the trenches fighting and dying.
\nAnd you represent a democratic platform of freedom and democracy, you stand for gender equality, you stand for the UN charter of human rights, you stand for free and fair elections, you stand for the private sector.<\/p>\n

You stand for the end of Sharia law, you stand for democracy and young people having an opportunity for a future, for a future with jobs.<\/p>\n

As your friend, I tell you the power is with you. And each one of you represents thousands in Iran saying no to dictatorship. They\u2019re saying the end is near.<\/p>\n
