The President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, paid tribute to the November uprising and honored the 1,500 martyrs of those protests. &quot;The uprising in November 2019, was not a fleeting meteoroid.

Dozens of prominent political dignitaries from Europe and the U.S., as well as European lawmakers, addressed the summit. Among them were MPs Theresa Villiers and Matthew Offord from Britain, Zamaswazi Dalmini-Mandela, Ambassador Mitchell Reiss, former U.S. Director of Policy Planning at the Department of State, Theresa Payton, White House Chief Information Officer for President George W. Bush, Ingrid Betancourt, former Colombian senator and presidential candidate, along with dozens of European lawmakers.
