Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Speech to the Conference and Iftar in the Holy Month of Ramadan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a conference held at the headquarters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) in Paris to commemorate the holy month of Ramadan, several leaders from the French Muslim community, along with political figures and parliamentarians from Arab and Islamic countries, participated. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the president-elect of the NCRI<\/a>, delivered a speech during the conference.<\/p>\n

An excerpt from Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>\u2018s speech is as follows:<\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi: Anything erected on coercion, compulsion, and imposition does not reflect Islam<\/h2>\n

This year, as the Holy month of Ramadan unfolds amidst some of the most devastating conflicts in the Middle East, our hearts go out to all who are mourning. We fervently hope that the liberating spirit of this month will herald freedom, peace, and deliverance for the people of the region, particularly the oppressed people of Palestine.<\/p>\n

From day one, including on October 12, we have consistently said:
\nFirstly, instrumentalizing the Palestinian issue has been the enduring practice of the demagogic mullahs in Iran.
\nSecondly, it is not acceptable that the innocent people of Gaza pay the price of siege and be deprived of water, power, fuel, food, and medicine, in violation of international and humanitarian laws.
\nThirdly, everyone who yearns for peace, stability, and tranquility in the Middle East must target the ruling religious fascism in Tehran. What have the innocent people in Gaza and the innocent Jews done wrong? Where are the humanitarian and international redlines? Why are innocent people being starved? Why?<\/p>\n
