Time for a Democratic Change in IRAN
Friends of a Free Iran
In a statement titled “Iran's Nuclear Program: Time for Firmness,” 260 members of Parliaments and Euro MPs from22 European countries called for the immediate referral of the Tehran regime's nuclear file to the United Nations Security Council.
This regime is responsible for over 450 terrorist attacks abroad,
including assassination of dozens of political opponents. Despite possessing
enormous wealth of oil and gas, 80 percent of the Iranians live below the
poverty line, because the revenue from these natural resources serve only a
few in senior 
positions
of the theocratic regime who pillage public assets or use it to export
fundamentalism or acquire weapons of mass destruction including nuclear
weapons in order to stay in power. This regime today stands at the verge of
acquiring the nuclear bomb.
Women are stoned to death on bogus charges or are humiliated and subjugated. In Iran, public execution and flogging is routine. Over 200 have been executed since Ahmadinejad took office last year.
The regime has remained in power by suppressing the people of Iran and
with help from abroad, from Europe and the US. Powerful countries in the
world for years have turned a blind eye on the violations of human rights
and the oppression in Iran. For
years, the West,
pinning hope on the illusion of moderation, offered every possible
concession to the regime and as such contributed to the ascension of the
most extremist faction.
The
biggest concession to the regime has been the terror tag on its opposition
and the designation of the main opposition movement, the People's Mojahedin
as a terrorist group. Today, a majority of the representatives in the
parliaments of Europe and the US congress oppose this unjust designation.
The massive crackdown on June 17, 2003 with 1,300 policemen on the National Council of Resistances headquarters in Auvers-sur-Oise and the arrest of 165 members of the Iranian Resistance were part and parcel of the policy of offering concessions to the mullahs. Three years after this wave of arrests and after the freedom of all detainees, the dossier is completely empty, making it clear that the whole episode was the result of a dirty deal with the mullahs. This was a deal that victimized before all the most basic values France had been founded upon for mere purpose of economic gains.
Excerpts from speech by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, April 2006
« Today, the
world is facing a dangerous dilemma: the prospect of a fundamentalist
dictatorship acquiring the world's most dangerous weapon or the prospect for
a disastrous war in the region. Today, I have come to say that the
international community is not required to choose between the nuclear-armed
mullahs or a war. There is a third option: Democratic change by the Iranian
people and their organized resistance. Making concessions to the mullahs is
not the way to avoid war. It would increases the possibility of a war. »
