Well, I know I speak for all of you here today in saying we will not stay silent about what is going on in Iran and we are not staying silent in the UK parliament.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope that today we will send a clear message to the Iranian regime that we will not be bowed by their threats. The more they attempt to influence our governments, to curtail our right to free speech, our right to freedom of assembly, the more we will fight back.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some governments today attempt to appease the Iranian regime in the UK, we believe the world must hear the truth. Young men and women massacred, protesters arrested and raped, bodies returned to families with such horrific injuries the murders are unrecognizable. The crimes are so horrific that it sickens us to hear them read out loud. The images are so shocking that we try to wipe them from our memory. But that is the regime we are facing, and that is the regime some governments are intent on appeasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is why our job today and on all days is so important. We must be the voice of the people of Iran, because the people of Iran are the people who will win this war, because a war is exactly what this is. Not a war by an enemy seeking to take your land, but an enemy that seeks to take away from an entire population, every single individual right and freedom, rights and freedom that we take for granted.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are standing on the side of good against evil. We\u2019ve heard recently the scale of executions carried out by the regime. We\u2019ve seen the regime taking hostages to use as tools in political games. We\u2019ve seen the regime intensifying its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons and other missile capabilities. All signs, I suggest, of a crumbling regime desperately clinging to power via any means possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that a huge proportion of Iranian society now lives in poverty whilst under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other senior officials plunder the nations wealth. However, in the face of the regime\u2019s brutality, the protest movement continues to flourish. In every area of the country and every walk of life, Iranians bravely protest on a daily basis, whether in the form of strikes, gatherings or otherwise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movement for democratic change is growing, and the role played by the Iranian opposition is significant. Resistance Units inside Iran work to organize this movement, grow its popularity and show the world that there is a democratic alternative to this regime, and that democratic alternative is embodied in Maryam Rajavi\u2019s 10-point plan for a future Iran. The support that the 10-point plan has received over recent months has been incredible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian people want change. They want a Democratic Republic built on the principles of freedom and democracy embodied in the 10-point plan, and they reject any attempt to derail their efforts with fake alternatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a nation and a people that wants to return to another form of dictatorship. It is a nation and a people intent on real change, a system built on freedom and equality. The people of Iran are fighting with energy, with courage, with bravery that is insurmountable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Senator Marco Scurria, Director of European Commission of Italian Senate, Co-president of the Italian Parliamentary Group for a Free Iran\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Senator-Marco-Scurria.jpg\" alt=\"Senator Marco Scurria, Director of European Commission of Italian Senate\" class=\"wp-image-47193\" 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\/2023\/06\/Senator-Marco-Scurria.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Senator-Marco-Scurria-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>Senator Marco Scurria, Director of European Commission of Italian Senate<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are opposing a regime like the mullahs\u2019 regime, you know that these actions can lead you to prison, they can lead you to sentencing death, and can lead you to harsh times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the regime in Iran is at the heart of international terrorism, which brings about attacks in all the Middle East, in Israel, but also in European states.

And that\u2019s despite the severe violent crackdown by the regime with the anti-regime slogans. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRGC and other cohorts have done everything they can to suppress the protests, whether it be within Iran or outside. Now, Iran is on the verge of major change, and it\u2019s vital that we press Western governments, all governments, to take action. Because the fact is that one government acting alone will not change the regime in Iran. So, their policy and our policies must change.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The West softline approach has allowed the regime to oppress the Iranian people, export terrorism, and destabilize the Middle East with impunity, while also incentivizing its nuclear escalation to the extent that Iran is now on the brink of becoming a nuclear state.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just imagine the threat to the West, to the region and everyone around the world if there\u2019s a nuclear Iran. If European governments continue this approach, they will stand against the people of Iran in favor of the regime. This would place all of us on the wrong side of history and allow the regime to continue its unacceptable and illegal behavior with complete impunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we need a firm policy, that keeps and strengthens the shift of power in favor of the people of Iran rather than the mullahs and, as the majority of parliaments and many parliamentarians from European countries have highlighted in their statements last month, the basis of the West\u2019s firm policy on Iran should be:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Number one, proscribe the IRGC in its entirety and seize their assets so they can be used for the benefit of the Iranian people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two, hold the regime to account by referring its appalling human rights dossier to the United Nations Security Council for prosecution.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognize and endorse the NCRI with Mrs. Mariam Rajavi\u2019s 10-point democratic platform as the viable democratic alternative to the current regime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emanuele Pozzolo, Foreign Affairs Committee of the Italian Parliament<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Emanuele-Pozzolo.jpg\" alt=\"Emanuele Pozzolo, Foreign Affairs Committee of the Italian Parliament\" class=\"wp-image-47198\" 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\/2023\/06\/Emanuele-Pozzolo.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Emanuele-Pozzolo-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>Emanuele Pozzolo, Foreign Affairs Committee of the Italian Parliament<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We love freedom in the west but it is not just for us.

It is very important that Europe and the international community continue to support demands for democracy, for freedom and for equality in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is wonderful that women and the younger generation of girls are at the forefront of protests in Iran. It shouldn\u2019t surprise us that they are, because it is women who have been leading the organized Iranian opposition, the PMOI\/MEK and the NCRI, for the last 44 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The women of Iran are challenging the regime every day with organized resistance and civil disobedience, making great personal sacrifices. Such brave women and such a contrast to the misogynist rulers of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian regime clearly sees women and girls as a serious threat to their grip on power, so they reduce them to second class citizens in both law and practice. The Iranian Resistance movement, the NCRI, on the contrary, sees women and girls as the driving force for change and the guarantors of a free, democratic and secular Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs. Rajavi and her 10-point democratic platform will transform Iran and the Middle East if and when it is implemented, because it gives women the opportunity to shape the future of their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is really heartening to hear parliamentarians from many European countries endorsing this movement in their statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as the current regime in Iran is in power, Iran will stand for human rights abuse, for torture, for mass executions and for terrorism. This in no way represents the people of Iran or their aspirations. The Iranian people\u2019s desire is to overthrow the regime and to establish a secular and democratic Republic. This is shown by their anti-regime protests. So, the international community must realize that and stand with the Iranian people and Mrs. Rajavi to make this day come sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU and the UK have a responsibility and a moral duty to hold the Iranian regime to account and bring the regimes leaders to justice. They can do it in a number of ways by referring the regime to the UN Security Council, by recognizing Mariam Rajavi and her 10-Point platform as an obvious democratic replacement to the regime by assisting Iranians and the Iranian resistance who are seeking justice under universal jurisdiction in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And most importantly, they can proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and designate it as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Andriy Osadchuk MP, Member of Parliament from Ukraine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Andriy-Osadchuk.jpg\" alt=\"Andriy Osadchuk MP, Member of Parliament from Ukraine\" class=\"wp-image-47235\" 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\/2023\/06\/Andriy-Osadchuk.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Andriy-Osadchuk-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>Andriy Osadchuk MP, Member of Parliament from Ukraine<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In May, Russia used more than 300 kamikaze drones against Ukraine.
