But its impenetrable security cordon signals the fact that this site, measuring two square miles, is a place of business: and the business is to replace Iran\u2019s theocracy with a secular, democratic and West-facing government. The NCRI already boasts 1,000 resistance units within Iran\u2019s borders, helping to effectively organise the protests which have been raging across the country as Iranians express their disillusionment with the oppressive regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/26461-live-updates-annual-free-iran-conference-at-the-mek-s-headquarters-in-albania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ashraf 3<\/a>, as the town is called in memory of the People&#8217;s Mujahedin of Iran first place of exile in Iraq, is intensifying the effort.<\/p>\n<p>Its main conference centre, boasting Roman pillars and pre-pre-revolutionary emblems such as the golden lion, contains a no-expense-spared museum dedicated to the 120,000 members tortured and murdered in Iran since it became an Islamic Republic in 1981 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/26465-live-page-perpetrators-of-iran-s-1988-massacre-must-be-held-accountable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">30,000 in 1988<\/a> alone, The Express wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The article added: With giant photos and touch screen displays, no expense has been spared to remind this group, and international supporters, why they continue to fight. At its first conference here, the group demonstrated just how sophisticated its operation is with a series of Hollywood-quality videos produced at its headquarters in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>Express.co.uk wrote:<\/p>\n<p>One depicted a teenager living in Europe reading news headlines proclaiming the execution of Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo &#8211; in clear reference to the execution of Iranian national football team captain Habib Khabir, tortured and killed by firing squad 1984 for belonging to the PMOI \u2013 Steven Spielberg sentenced to death for expressing political opinions and Serena Williams executed for supporting a freedom charity foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Another showed young Iranians supporting the PMOI risking arrest, torture and death by spray-painting messages decrying: \u201cReady, Ready, Ready\u201d for a new regime.<\/p>\n<p>And Tehran is worried, in March Albanian security services foiled a car bomb plot here &#8211; an echo of last year\u2019s attempt to blow up its Paris conference. The March plot led to the expulsion from Albania of Iran\u2019s ambassador and another diplomat.<\/p>\n<p>In France, where the NCRI is officially headquartered, President Macron last year rejected a request by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to expel the group; ironic since it was Paris which harboured the regime\u2019s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after he was banished from Iran by the Shah.<\/p>\n<p>As dignitaries from ten nations watched, survivors told how they were tortured in Iran\u2019s brutal prisons, often packed ten times their capacity, while women told how they were made to care for babies discarded among cell mates following the execution of their parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey came at midnight to arrest me, I was nine months pregnant but they beat me,\u201d said one female survivor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce in prison I was forced to watch my husband being tortured, and then he was forced to watch me. When he was hanged the prison guard told me they didn\u2019t want him to live to meet his child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After giving birth she was returned to prison with her newborn baby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no milk for my baby so my cell mates gave me their sugar rations &#8211; two cubes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were allowed 15 minutes of warm water every ten days for our babies. We had to wash 50 children in a very short time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She escaped after her son became gravely ill and she was finally allowed to seek hospital care.<\/p>\n<p>Dignitaries from more than ten countries attended the conference, with speakers including Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani, Senator Joseph Lieberman, former Canadian PM Stephen Harper, former French foreign and defence minister Michelle Alliot-Marie and a UK delegation led by Dr Matthew Offord MP.<\/p>\n<p>Rudy Giuliani, who has supported the NCRI for 11 years, said: \u201cI think Iran\u2019s regime are cold blooded murderers. There\u2019s probably no regime we deal with today, be it Russia or North Korea, which has murdered as many of their own people as Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA million of their own people. They\u2019ve murdered so many people that if they ever had a conscience, it\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Offord told the 1,000-strong delegation: \u201cThe British delegation is here to remind our government of our obligations under international laws of human rights, I believe that we should follow the US example and proscribe the Iranian Republican Guard Corps as a terrorists organisation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They have a maligned influence throughout the Middle East and are now threatening the UK government directly with attacks on our oil tankers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn light of the hostile actions by Iran currently, and the reality that the nuclear deal is dead, we must withdraw from it and support the US by levying sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose sanctions are working, and we\u2019ve seen unprecedented protests within Iran as normal people who are repressed by the regime rise up against it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a great appetite for regime change through peaceful means by Iranians and the NCRI\u2019s ten point plan \u2013 which seeks secular freedom, equality the rule of law and respect for human rights \u2013 shows that it will make for the foundation of a successful new government when the time comes. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI also want to see the regime held to account for the 1988 massacre of 30,000 opposition members in Iran, most of which were tortured before being hanged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an impassioned speech Sen Lieberman said: \u201cMy wife is the child of survivors of the Nazi holocaust, and she sees echoes of that with what\u2019s happening in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen survivors said \u2018never again\u2019 they meant never again will a regime, like the one which rules Iran, be allowed to commit these atrocities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the NCRI directly, he added: \u201cYou have given us the opportunity to be true to our national principles. Our Declaration of Independence says every person is created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those rights were also given to every child born in Iran, and every young person whose life was cut short by this brutal regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last night NCRI president elect Maryam Rajani said: \u201cWe started this journey on June 20, 1981 when the Iranian Resistance\u2019s Leader Massoud Rajavi forged a deep-rooted and resolute resistance against the religious dictatorship of the mullahs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, Ashraf 3 stands tall along this long journey, a journey that has had many new beginnings and revivals throughout. On this path, we endured ten years of blood-drenched perseverance at the besieged Camp Ashraf and another four years full of determination at a slaughter house called Camp Liberty (in Iraq).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis marks another chapter in a great march towards freedom, towards a free Iran, towards a glorious destination, of course after undergoing enormous suffering and dedicating a roaring river of the martyrs\u2019 blood.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britain&rsquo;s Express has reported on the unveiling of &lsquo;Ashraf 3,&rsquo; the new home of thousands of members of Iran&rsquo;s main opposition group, the People&rsquo;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (Mujahedin e [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":53575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-26469","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-resistance","8":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
