NCRI member Zinat Mirhashemi takes the floor to address the audience.<\/p>\n
Mirhashemi:\u00a0<\/b>Thank you all for your contribution to the resistance of the Iranian<\/a> people. In every corner of Iran, we can see several generations of the Iranian people are joining our struggle to say no to the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n At the forefront of this struggle are workers, teachers, farmers, nurses, and especially the women. The people will no longer tolerate tyranny and oppression of the regime.<\/p>\n The struggles of the people entered a new phase in January. The people don\u2019t believe in change from within the regime but by overthrowing the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n The regime has only added to the misery of the Iranian people and the environmental disaster of the country through its mismanagement and its violent meddling in the region. The people are showing that they want to get rid of the dictatorship.<\/p>\n We pay tribute to the martyrs of freedom in Iran. These martyrs helped pave the way for what we\u2019re seeing today. We can see a future where we can avenge their death and this day will stay in history forever.<\/p>\n We hope that next year, this gathering will take place in a democratic Iran. As Mrs. Rajavi said, victory will come.<\/p>\n Mirhashemi:<\/b>Those who scare the people from change, have either ignored the the struggle of women and men of But the impoverished people of Iran have sent their message to the world.
