NCRI - "Next, and very soon, we expect our government to fulfill its legal and moral obligation to ask the European Union to remove the copycat ban on the Resistance imposed at the UK’s request. And, the Americans then would be wise to do the same since the Resistance is on the side of freedom and not the enemy of freedom," Lord Robin Corbett, Chairman of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom told a gathering of more than 70,000 Iranians in Paris on June 28, 2008.

Text of his speech follows:

NCRI - Head of the moral security police of the State Security Forces of the Iranian regime, Brig. Gen. Ahmad Roozbehani, announced on Monday "more security forces will be deployed in parks." He added that 65 to 70 thousands would be used in the new plan against women.

"In big public parks police force will be stationed permanently and in smaller ones security patrols will be active," Roozbehani told state-run media reporters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration moved Tuesday to impose financial sanctions on Iranian officials and companies accused of helping the country develop nuclear weapons.

The action by the departments of State and Treasury marks the latest effort to tighten the financial noose on Iran, which the United States accuses of bankrolling terrorism and seeking a nuclear bomb.

"It seemed to me ridiculous that governments were treating as outlaws the people who were working for a better regime in Iran, a better regime which respected human rights and looked after their own people properly, and one that was working for democratic change. That was the PMOI (MEK) [the People's Mojahedin organization of Iran]," Lord Waddington, former UK Home Secretary told a gathering of more than 70,000 Iranians in Paris on June 28, 2008.

Text of his speech follows:

NCRI – Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee in a video message to the gathering of 70,000 Iranians in Paris on June 28, 2008, congratulated the lifting of ban on Iranian Resistance in Britain.

Congresswoman Jackson Lee greeted the participants on behalf of the many members of congress who respect and admire Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-Elect of the Iranian Resistance for her freedom fighting, her peace loving, and her leadership of the people of Iran.

NCRI- The European Parliament Vice-president, Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras, in a speech in the gathering of more than 70,000 Iranian exiles in Paris on June 28, 2008 expressed his support for the Iranian Resistance and its President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi.
