Baroness Verma: It\u2019s Time for Action to Bring Democratic Change to Iran<\/h3>\n
On May 31, 2025, Baroness Sandeep Verma of the UK House of Lords addressed The Second Free Iran 2025 Conference<\/em><\/a> organized by the Iranian Resistance, uniting lawmakers and leaders from around the world in support of democratic change in Iran. The event endorsed the National Council of Resistance of Iran (*NCRI<\/a>) and Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/a> as a path forward.<\/p>\n*
Baroness Verma commended the resilience of the Iranian people and the leadership of the NCRI, particularly the PMOI-led Resistance Units operating within Iran. She stressed that this conference was not merely symbolic\u2014it reflected the power of unified international resolve. She urged world governments, especially in Europe, to move beyond words and take tangible steps, beginning with the designation of the IRGC<\/a> as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n
Highlighting ongoing human rights abuses, Verma called for the creation of a special tribunal to investigate crimes against humanity and drew attention to political prisoners like Maryam Akbari Monfared. She voiced strong support for the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesday\u201d campaign and demanded that the UN be granted access to detainees.<\/p>\n
Concluding her remarks, Baroness Verma affirmed the UK Parliament\u2019s firm backing of the Ten-Point Plan and declared the fall of the current regime in Iran inevitable. \u201cA free and democratic Iran is not a matter of if, but when,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

.@Baroness_Verma<\/a>: We urge European & international leaders to go beyond words\u2014take concrete action to hold the regime accountable. Proscribe the IRGC, central to its terror. The perpetrators are known, sanctioned, and documented by the UN.#BlacklistIRGC<\/a>
