NCRI – In a message on the occasion of Christmas, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance Mrs. Maryam Rajavi congratulated all Christians in Iran and across the world on the birth of Jesus Christ whose prime words were of unity, benevolence and benediction and who stayed away from injustice and cruelty.
She wished that the New Year would be a year of peace, friendship and progress for everyone and hoped that it would bring the downfall of the religious tyranny ruling Iran which is the source of all mischief throughout the world.
She said that in the past year the European justice and people’s conscience have attested the legitimacy of the Iranian Resistance. Following the December 12, 2006, of the European Court of Justice verdict, courts in Paris and London ruled out the baseless allegations made against the Iranian Resistance and in particular the blacklisting of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Referring to the Iranian People’s uprisings in 2007, Mrs. Rajavi added that the New Year starts amid cries by the deprived people of Iran for justice and equality. Calls by women and youths who are longing for freedom and change were louder and clearer than before.
In the past year the Iranian people marked their struggle against the mullahs’ regime in more than 5,000 various forms of popular protests; they reverberated the slogans by PMOI members in Ashraf City (home to the PMOI members in Iraq).
She thanked God for the revelations made by the Iranian Resistance on the mullahs’ endeavors to acquire nuclear bomb which was a big service to the world peace. Had it not been for the efforts by the Resistance, the world community would have been faced with a major catastrophe. As Jesus preached, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will achieve the impossible.
The President-elect of the Resistance said that following the insulting remarks by the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Christianity, suppressive measures were adopted against Christians in Iran. A number of them were arrested for bogus reasons. Under the clerical rule most of churches were shut down. Followers of other faiths were not saved from the mullahs’ wrath and their sacred premises were demolished.
On Christians in Iraq, Mrs. Rajavi added that they were not spared from the Iranian regime’s atrocities. Thousands have lost their homes; however, they have not stopped supporting the members of the PMOI in Ashraf.
