Paris - Brussels: Europe and the Arabs
The Iranian opposition said in a statement distributed last night in Brussels, a copy of which we received: “An inspiring conference held in Paris to celebrate International Women’s Day witnessed prominent women, jurists and women’s rights defenders from 28 countries expressing their support for Iranian women’s struggle for freedom, democracy and equality.
The keynote speaker was National Council of Resistance of Iran President-elect Maryam Rajavi, who stressed the necessity of women’s active and equal participation in leadership to achieve true democracy and equality.
She emphasized, saying, “The experience of our resistance, which is the struggle against dictatorship, specifically the war against the ruling Islamic fundamentalism in Iran, and the struggle for equality, are two battles that are not separate from each other, because it is not possible to confront religious tyranny without liberating the great energy latent in men.” And the pioneering women.” Addressing Iran’s rising women, especially the pioneering young generation, she said: Millions of Iranian women have been shackled by tyranny, poverty, and exploitation, and their salvation is in your hands. Rise up and raise one voice throughout Iran and the entire world.
Fill the universe with this cry: No to compulsory hijab, no to compulsory religion, no to compulsory rule, and it is possible and necessary to overthrow the guardianship of the jurist system.
Mrs. Rajavi added: “I say to Khamenei and the mullahs that the chains of inequality and tyranny against Iranian women, and the chains of superstition and religious coercion, will not last any longer, and that the era of tyranny, oppression, and ignoring the existence of women is coming to an end, and you will be overthrown by these free women.”
“The day will come when no one will be interrogated because of his clothing, his individual life, or his religious or political beliefs, when no woman will be executed, when no woman will be flogged, when no woman will be chained and shackled, and when the echoes of the breaking of chains will be heard; It is the voice of revolution.. It is the end of dilapidated and outdated systems and the beginning of new systems based on freedom, democracy and equality.
“The 12-article thesis on women’s freedoms and rights presented by the Iranian Resistance is the best guarantee for women’s rights in the free Iran of tomorrow.” According to a publication on the website of the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran
