NCRI – Sir Roger Gale, a leading Member of Parliament from the United Kingdom, has pledged his support for the “Free Iran” rally on July 9th in Paris. Sir Roger Gale MP has been a long serving politician and his experience has made him a veteran in championing causes against oppressive regimes.<\/p>\n
He had stated that “the human rights situation in Iran is absolutely terrible”, which is why he seeks to bring attention to the issue.<\/p>\n
Moreover, he seeks to promote Iranian civil society, so that Iranians may have a voice for themselves.<\/p>\n
Sir Roger remarked that the Iranian people “clearly are unable to speak their minds”, since “the democratic process barely exists at all” in Iran.<\/p>\n
Sir Roger is a longtime supporter of the Iranian Resistance, which seeks to allow Iranians to have a voice in how their country should be governed.<\/p>\n
Sir Roger pointed out the Iranian people cannot be satisfied if the “current President is regarded as the least worst option available”, instead there needs to be a framework in place which allows the Iranian people to choose their best leader for themselves.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, Sir Roger touches upon the regional implications of the Iranian regime, and the turmoil it is causing in Syria, which could have long term consequences.\u00a0 Thus, the need for change is integral in Iran, which is why he is in support of the July 9th rally, so that he may send a “clear signal to the rest of the world that there is a very real concern that has to be addressed” in regards to the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
