\"At — Italian MEP Convenes Roundtable at European Parliament<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
At the behest of Gianna Gancia, an Italian Member of the European Parliament, a roundtable discussion convened to address issues pertaining to Iran and the ongoing struggle of its people for a democratic republic. The gathering welcomed various representatives from Iranian medical and specialist associations based in Italy.<\/p>\n
Held within the confines of the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, the roundtable delved into recent developments involving the clerical regime\u2019s purported trial of 104 members of the Iranian Resistance<\/a>, including the entire People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>). Participants underscored the escalating repression in Iran and stressed the imperative of backing Iran\u2019s Resistance against terrorism and bellicosity.<\/p>\n

MEP Gancia underscored the authoritarian grip of the Iranian regime, particularly its intensified repression against the Iranian populace in recent years since the 2022 uprising. She highlighted the absurdity of summoning 104 PMOI members for trial<\/a> in Tehran, given the regime\u2019s track record of violence against dissenters. The Italian MEP urged Europe to address such dire circumstances to support the Iranian people\u2019s pursuit of freedom.<\/p>\n

Ms. Gancia further asked this question to Dr. Yousef Lesani from the Free Iran Association in Italy that the dictatorship ruling Iran claims to have an independent judiciary and asked the Mojahedin <\/a>to introduce their own lawyers to the court. Therefore, it is very important to clarify this matter.<\/p>\n

Dr. Yousef Lesani said about the actions that Europe can take against such actions of the mullahs\u2019 regime: \u201cIt is very important that we expose these regime\u2019s reasons for prosecuting the Mojahedin to public opinion and expand international support for Iran\u2019s resistance.\u201d Such an action is a clear message that the violation of human rights and the support of terrorism are no longer tolerated and such a regime has no credibility to prosecute freedom fighters such as the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization.<\/p>\n
Gancia also lauded the significant presence of women in Iran\u2019s Resistance, expressing confidence in their eventual triumph. She praised NCRI President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi for her leadership, characterizing her as a capable and resolute figure with whom she had the privilege of meeting multiple times. Gancia reaffirmed her commitment to standing alongside Iranian women and all individuals resisting the oppressive regime.<\/p>\n

The EU Parliament's vote to designate #IRGC<\/a> as a terrorist organization highlights urgent need for approval from both EU and Member States. Iranian people's right to self-defense and Platform for Future are crucial for freedom. #Iran<\/a> @Maryam_Rajavi<\/a> @JosepBorrellF<\/a> @Europarl_IT<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Y3JPVxmZ2b<\/a><\/p>\n
