She said: \u201cDeals can\u2019t come at the price of human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.juliewardmep.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">Ms. Ward<\/a>\u00a0emphasized the importance of the European Union and its representatives using their position to uphold human rights and to expose human rights abuses in Iran. The regime, she said, needs to be challenged on \u201cits appalling human rights record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The regime is very \u201ccynical\u201d, \u201copportunistic\u201d and \u201cpushes against all kinds of sincere diplomatic overtures that the rest of the world makes,\u201d she said. She is shocked at the \u201cbrutal, medieval behavior\u201d the regime displays.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Ward said that despite being victimized and lied about in the Iranian state-run press, she still speaks out and continues to fight for a free Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the people of Iran, she said: \u201cYou have friends in the European Parliament \u2026 you have many friends in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She used the example of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-freedom-rally-2015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">June 13 Iran Freedom rally in Paris<\/a>\u00a0where many parliamentarians \u2013 past and present \u2013 attended to show their support and to \u201cstand in solidarity\u201d with the Iranian people and their organized Resistance movement.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Ward explained that, as someone who has been elected in a democratic society, she has been given a voice and she is using that voice to speak up about the atrocities happening in Iran. Her reason for joining the fight with the Iranian Resistance was that she heard about the way women are treated in Iran. She said that many Iranian women are frightened and are subject to horrifying attacks (acid attacks, for example), and she is appalled that they are encouraged by the regime. She highlighted that this kind of treatment would not be tolerated in her country and in other democratic societies where Muslim women can choose whether they want to veil themselves, they can choose how they dress and they are treated equally. Ms. Ward wants to see the same in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what the European Parliament can do to improve the situation of women in Iran, Ms. Ward explained that there are a great number of steps and recommendations they can follow in conjunction with the United Nations. She said, for example, the Istanbul Convention that is to stop violence against women needs to be upheld. She advises that they consistently speak out and that they be brave and recognize these abuses as violations that cannot be tolerated in the 21st Century.<\/p>\n<p>Her closing message was to the brave women of Iran who are standing up and speaking out. Although she recognizes that it is not always possible for those in the country to do so, she appreciates that refugees have a strong platform to speak up for them. Lastly, she appeals to the women of Iran to see themselves in a global context, as this is a \u201cglobal fight\u201d that the world is fighting together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related news:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-freedom-rally-2015\/18509-full-text-of-maryam-rajavi-s-speech-at-iran-freedom-rally-2015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">Full text of Maryam Rajavi\u2019s speech at Iran Freedom Rally 2015<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/women\/18850-3-women-chained-to-men-and-paraded-in-iran-capital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">3 women, chained to men and paraded in Iran capital<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/women\/18836-iran-regime-hangs-43-year-old-mother\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">Iran regime hangs 43-year-old mother<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/women\/18831-u-s-iran-officials-involved-in-the-human-trafficking-of-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">U.S.: Iran officials involved in the human trafficking of women<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/women\/18718-iran-cleric-immodest-dress-causes-intestine-disease-in-women\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"alternate noopener noreferrer\">Iran cleric: Immodest dress causes intestine disease in women<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI&nbsp;&ndash; The major world powers&rsquo; recent nuclear deal with the regime in Iran should not lead the West to ignore the appalling state of human rights in the country, Julie [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":43633,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-18854","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-women","8":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
