NCRI - Hundreds of Iranians and supporters of the Iranian Resistance staged a rally in central Birmingham today to call for democratic change in Iran.

Demonstrators also condemned mullahs' ploy to execute political prisoners following the referral of their nuclear file to the UN Security Council as an act of revenge. It was the Iranian Resistance which unveiled the clerical regime's nuclear program back in 2002 turning its political prisoners as soft targets for criminal mullahs in Iran.

Valiollah Feiz-Mahdavi, member of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, received his death warrant in March for a date set on May 16. He has been in jail for the past five years.

Participants in today's rally in Birmingham gave their full backing to a proposal by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, for democratic change in Iran through Iranian people and their resistance. In her plan to deal with the crisis in Iran, Mrs. Rajavi rejected foreign military intervention and the failed policy of appeasement which would eventually lead to an inevitable war if it continued.

Speakers in the rally included Lord Corbett of Castle Vale; Mr. Stephen McCabe, MP; Malcolm Fowler, former Chair of Birmingham Bar Association; Ms. Dowlat Nowrouzi, NCRI representative in the UK; Mr. Massoud Zabeti, representative of Iranian Lawyers Association; Mr. Hossein Abedini, member of the NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee and heads of various Iranian communities in Britain.

The rally received widespread support from members of public who felt the Iranian regime was no longer a problem for Iranians but a major threat to world peace and security.
