The gathering, held at the headquarters of the Iranian Resistance, brought together representatives from various Muslim nations, intellectuals, and advocates of democracy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"1083\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>\u2019s message underscored Ramadan as a symbol of unity among Muslim nations, standing in defiance of the oppressive regime of Velayat-e Faqih in Iran. She extended her greetings to Muslims worldwide and expressed solidarity with the people of Iran, Palestine, and other oppressed nations. She also reflected on the significance of Syria\u2019s newfound freedom from dictatorship, marking a major setback for Tehran\u2019s influence in the region.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ro\" dir=\"ltr\">Conference in Paris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ramadan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ramadan<\/a>, A Month of Brotherhood and Tolerance vis-\u00e0-vis the Velayat-e Faqih and Fundamentalism<br>No Religious Coercion, No Compulsory Religion<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DmAvfLvCwr\">https:\/\/t.co\/DmAvfLvCwr<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xVIXz65qgI\">pic.twitter.com\/xVIXz65qgI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi\/status\/1897723784016408792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1124\">Remembering Sid Ahmed Ghozali<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1590\">A central part of Rajavi\u2019s address was dedicated to the late Sid Ahmed Ghozali, former Prime Minister of Algeria, whom she honored as a staunch advocate of democracy and an unwavering supporter of the Iranian Resistance. She highlighted his efforts in forming the Arab-Islamic Committee in Defense of Ashraf in 2009, his consistent condemnation of the Iranian regime\u2019s human rights abuses, and his commitment to exposing the 1988 massacre of political prisoners.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1997\">Ghozali, she noted, firmly believed in the necessity of a democratic alternative to the clerical regime in Iran. He recognized the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) as a grassroots movement representing the aspirations of the Iranian people. In his speeches and writings, he urged intellectuals and freedom-loving individuals across the Arab and Muslim world to support this resistance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1999\" data-end=\"2271\">Rajavi also recalled Ghozali\u2019s admiration for <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/massoud-rajavi-biography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massoud Rajavi<\/a>, the leader of the Iranian Resistance, and his belief that only through a democratic and organized opposition could the people of Iran overthrow the clerical dictatorship and establish a free and just society.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71351\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71351\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71351\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Prime-Minister-of-Algeria-Sid-Ahmed-Ghozali.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" 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\/2025\/03\/Former-Prime-Minister-of-Algeria-Sid-Ahmed-Ghozali.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Prime-Minister-of-Algeria-Sid-Ahmed-Ghozali-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Prime-Minister-of-Algeria-Sid-Ahmed-Ghozali-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Remembering Former Prime Minister of Algeria Sid Ahmed Ghozali<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"2273\" data-end=\"2336\">The Decline of the Iranian Regime\u2019s Regional Strategy<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2338\" data-end=\"2886\">In her remarks, Rajavi pointed to significant geopolitical shifts in the region over the past year. The collapse of Syria\u2019s dictatorship and the weakening of Tehran\u2019s influence in Lebanon, she argued, marked a severe blow to the Iranian regime\u2019s long-standing strategy of exporting crisis and conflict under the guise of revolutionary expansion. Amid escalating domestic unrest, economic collapse, and growing international isolation, Rajavi asserted that the regime now faced its most existential threat: an organized and democratic alternative.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2888\" data-end=\"3234\">She framed this alternative as a vision of <strong data-start=\"2931\" data-end=\"2951\">democratic Islam<\/strong>\u2014a stark contrast to the Iranian regime\u2019s oppressive and extremist ideology. This interpretation of Islam, she explained, is deeply rooted in Iran\u2019s history and culture and champions freedom, equality, and resistance against both the Shah\u2019s dictatorship and the mullahs\u2019 theocracy.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3236\" data-end=\"3311\">A Call for Religious Freedom and Separation of Religion and State<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3313\" data-end=\"3708\">A key pillar of Rajavi\u2019s speech was the emphasis on religious freedom and the rejection of compulsion in faith. She reiterated the core belief of the Iranian Resistance: <strong data-start=\"3483\" data-end=\"3535\">\u201cNo religious coercion, no compulsory religion.\u201d<\/strong> Citing the teachings of Islam and the Quran, she rejected the clerical regime\u2019s efforts to impose its will on the Iranian people under the pretext of religious authority.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3710\" data-end=\"4173\">She also highlighted the NCRI\u2019s long-standing commitment to the separation of religion and state. Since 1981, the NCRI has advocated for a secular, democratic Iran where no religious group holds political privilege, and the people\u2019s vote determines governance. She pointed out that this vision, formulated decades ago, remains the most viable solution to Iran\u2019s crisis and serves as a model for other Muslim nations seeking to break free from religious tyranny.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4175\" data-end=\"4215\">A Prayer for Freedom and Peace<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4217\" data-end=\"4588\">Concluding her speech, Rajavi echoed the words of Sid Ahmed Ghozali, who had once prayed for the liberation of the Iranian people, the success of the resistance, and an end to the suffering of those oppressed by the regime. She added her own prayers, calling for an end to war and bloodshed in the region and the ultimate downfall of the Velayat-e Faqih system in Iran.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4590\" data-end=\"4811\">Her speech was met with widespread support, reinforcing the message that true Islam stands for peace, tolerance, and democracy\u2014values that stand in stark contrast to the oppressive rule of Iran\u2019s clerical establishment.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Maryam Rajavi\u2019s speech at Ramadan Conf : Separation of Religion &amp; State \u2013The Path to Freedom-6 march\" width=\"800\"
