In separate letters to the leaders of the eight industrialized nations,
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance’s President-elect, called on
them to end the policy of appeasing the mullahs in Iran and recognize
the rights of the Iranian people for resistance against religious
fascism.
Pointing to the decisive boycott of the elections and the criminal and
terrorist record of the mullahs’ new president, Mrs. Rajavi
underscored, “Now for the first time power in the executive, judiciary
and the legislature is consolidated in the hand of Khamenei’s faction
and the most extremist grouping within the regime.”
She added, “The policy of appeasement, which Western countries promoted
under the veneer of strengthening the moderates within the regime,
assured Khamenei to continue domestic suppression, export terrorism,
pursue nuclear weapons and ultimately purge the internal factions with
impunity.” The inclusion of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran
(PMOI) in the terrorist list, the most striking feature of appeasement,
has created the biggest obstacle to democratic change in Iran, she
added.
The Iranian Resistance’s President-elect stressed, “As far as the
clerical regime is concerned, the election constituted a major schism,
out of which the mullahs emerged weaker, and will face new crises and
deadlocks,” adding, “Change in Iran is an urgent necessity for the
Iranian people and for peace and tranquility in the region. Through the
boycott of the elections, the Iranian people demonstrated their will
for change. Appeasement has so far impeded this change which explains
why a policy change is an urgent necessity.”
Mrs. Rajavi urged the G8 leaders to “Recognize the right of the Iranian
people to resist and by revoking the terrorist tag against the PMOI,
remove the biggest obstacle to change in Iran.”
She also called for the referral of the mullahs’ abysmal rights record,
export of terrorism, fundamentalism, and its nuclear file to the United
Nations Security Council for the adoption of binding decisions.
