She also acknowledged the presence of former Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme, noting his deep connection to the region and its humanitarian values.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1615\">Mrs. Rajavi highlighted Ypres\u2019 nightly remembrance ceremonies and its powerful historical memory, shaped by the devastation of World War I and the suffering caused by chemical weapons. She described the city as a moral beacon for human dignity, freedom, and peace, honoring the sacrifices of countless unknown soldiers. She announced her participation in the Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate, where she would lay flowers in memory of those who lost their lives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"2016\">Turning to Iran, Mrs. Rajavi drew a parallel between the tragedies of war commemorated in Ypres and the suffering of the Iranian people. She recalled the <a href=\"https:\/\/iran1988.org\/1988-massacre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a> of some 30,000 political prisoners, executed on orders from Iran\u2019s then-supreme leader and buried in mass graves.
