According to the Iranian regime\u2019s officials, at least 2,000 women are arrested in the streets every day for not observing the compulsory veiling. Over 80 women have been executed under Hassan Rouhani as president. This is the person wearing the mask of moderation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite all this, Iranian women and youths have been able to expand the uprising to 142 cities. They have a fundamental role in expanding the protests and strikes. The situation in Iran is turning against the mullahs\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want a republic based on separation of religion and state. They seek establishment of freedom and democracy and women\u2019s equality \u2026 I would like to urge members of the British houses of Parliament to support these demands\u201d, reiterating the Iranian people&#8217;s desire for democratic change.<\/p>\n<p>Baroness Lister of Burtersett CBE, said, \u201cI endorse today\u2019s recommendations urging the Government to use its voice in the UN to support the democratic aspirations and the struggle of Iranian women and men as well as Maryam Rajavi\u2019s 10-point plan, grounded in the principals of human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the last 39 years 120.000 from the main Iranian opposition movement were executed by the Iranian regime. 30 % of those were women \u2026 We stand behind the women who have risen up to liberate the whole [Iranian] nation\u201d, Baroness Harris of Richmond DL, stressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-50796\" title=\"Iranian-women-4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/Iranian-women-4.JPG\" alt=\"Iranian-women-4\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Iranian-women-4.JPG 800w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Iranian-women-4-300x200.JPG 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Iranian-women-4-768x512.JPG 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Iranian-women-4-696x464.JPG 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dr Jocelynne A. Scutt is a Barrister and Human Rights Lawyer and Cambridgeshire County Councillor, added, \u201cWomen in Iran did not benefit from the game of so-called reformists versus hard-liners. Regime change is the right of Iranian woman and the only way to achieve freedom and equality. I echo those words of Maryam Rajavi who is fighting this struggle so strongly and leading the NCRI and the national effort to gain democracy for Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her remarks, Kirsty Brimelow QC, chairwoman of Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales, who co-chaired the conference, highlighted the ongoing torture in the regime\u2019s prisons and the 1988 massacre of 30.000 political prisoners in Iran among them young girls and pregnant women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe international community needs to do more in finding teeth. 30 years and there has been no accountability for those who were identified, who ordered, executed or took part in some way in the massacre of 1988, which was the biggest crime in the Islamic Republic, according to the late Ayatollah Montazeri. We must move forward to obtain justice not only for the women but also for those victim of that massacre\u201d, Kirsty Brimelow QC added.<\/p>\n<p>Other participants and speakers include: Baroness Masham of Ilton DL; Rt Hon Lord Dholakia OBE DL; Anna McMorrin MP; Margaret Owen OBE, Director WPD and Human Rights Lawyer; Dr Ayla Gol, Director of Graduate Studies International Politics at
