NCRI – José Bové, a prominent Member of the European Parliament from France, has declared his solidarity with the major “Free Iran” gathering that is to take place in Paris on July 9.

In a video message, aired by the Iranian opposition satellite channel Simay-e Azadi, Mr. Bové said that while the French president, François Hollande, last week welcomed the Iranian regime’s foreign minister, 270 Members of the European Parliament “of all political persuasions signed a statement with a clear message condemning the mullahs and supporting democracy and reiterating that we should not be dealing with this dictatorship.”

“How can we today accept a regime that imprisons, prosecutes and executes thousands of women, journalists, union activists, and youths? The people are forced to keep silent. How can we accept that our democratic and secular country deals and trade with such regimes?”

“That is why I protest today. I ask all supporters of Maryam Rajavi and the Iranian Resistance to participate in the major gathering held on July 9 to support a democratic and secular Iran.”

“Today, more than ever, the world needs a democracy which is transparent and secular, and that is why I am supporting the Iranian Resistance,” he added.

The major gathering of Iranians and their international supporters in Paris on July 9, which will be attended by hundreds of senior political dignitaries, parliamentarians, human rights and women’s rights activists and religious leaders from the United States, Europe, and Islamic countries, will bring together international support for the cause of democracy and freedom in Iran.
