 EventsThe first day of this month I spent outside Paris with Mrs.
Rajavi in her gilded citadel. Gilded prison you could say in another
way. I was with her for 2.5 hours, and I just want to say that I was
enormously impressed by her. I mean I have met quite a few resistance
leaders, or revolutionary leaders over the years and they tend, perhaps
inevitably, but they tend to be fairly egoistical, to be fairly
arrogant.
I must say, and I say this directly and honestly, I found nothing of
this in Mrs. Rajavi. I did not sense any personal ambition; the only
ambition she had was for her people. That sounds platitudeness, but I
really do think it is true.
I went on afterwards, with my colleague here to Paris, where there was
a very large meeting of Parliamentarians from all over Europe, with
Mrs. Rajavi making a video link.
I think that the United Kingdom should remove the terrorist tag from
the PMOI and that there is no justification for its maintenance. I have
read the Home Office report which in fact specifically says that no
terrorist attacks have been undertaken against British or British
allies by this movement. But irrespective of that, I think that it is
wrong to label them as terrorist.
Secondly, I think that the French are wrong to try and maintain their
so-called case against Mrs. Rajavi. I am certain that that will equally
be demonstrated to be untrue and France with her long reputation for
the protection of human rights and the protection of people seeking
democracy in their own countries should stop this nonsense. |
