\"During — Dutch MEP Ms. Dorien Rookmaker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
During a conference<\/a> held in the Hague, the Netherlands, Dutch MEP Dorien Rookmaker, condemned the 1988 Massacre<\/a> and ongoing executions in Iran and praised the democratic opposition led by Mariam Rajavi<\/a>. Expressing concern over the upcoming sham court in Iran, she urged Western action to prevent appeasement.<\/p>\n
Ms. Rookmaker emphasized the need to echo true sentiments in the European Parliament and stand in solidarity with Iranians demanding justice. Admiring Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>\u2018s dedication, she highlighted her remarkable capacity for self-sacrifice and openness to diverse beliefs.<\/p>\n
*Excerpt of the MEP Dorien Rookmaker\u2019s Speech follows:<\/em><\/p>\n*
*The unpunishment* 1988 Massacre<\/a> is ongoing with daily executions in the country. Gratefully, there is a democratic opposition, and you are here. This great opposition is resilient, and it is a resistance movement that has been steadfast. It is led by the remarkable Mariam Rajavi<\/a>, whom you can already see on the screen. She is a big role model for me and, I believe, for many women in this room because I don\u2019t know of a woman so courageous and fearless, standing up to such a cruel regime.<\/p>\n
In the coming month, the Iranian judicial authorities plan to hold a sham court in tan to try members of the resistance. We must question why such ridiculous scenes are permitted by this regime. The answer lies primarily in the inaction of the West. We have to look to this, and we have to take action.<\/p>\n

Jong en strijdbaar!! De oppositie in Iran verdient onze steun. Delen is fijn.
