On Thursday, February 23, British MPs, the Rt. Hon. David Jones, former United Kingdom\u2019s\u00a0 Secretary of State for Wales and Brexit, and Mr. Bob Blackman, a renowned lawmaker from the UK\u2019s House of Commons, visited members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization<\/a> of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) in Ashraf 3 in Albania.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both renowned British lawmakers reiterated their support of the Iranian opposition, particularly Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), who also attended this meeting. The MPs from the UK also supported the Iranian people\u2019s revolution and highlighted the MEK\u2019s Resistance Units<\/a> leading role in the revolution in the making in Iran.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"UK<\/p>\n

They both echoed the bi-partisan support of many lawmakers from the UK Houses of Commons and Lords of the Iranian people revolution and Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s ten-point plan<\/a> for the future of Iran. They presented the statement in this regard, supported by 250 UK lawmakers from all political parties.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In her remarks, Mrs. Rajavi praised the British lawmakers\u2019 efforts to \u201cencourage the UK to designate the IRGC as a banned terrorist entity.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, Mrs. Rajavi added that \u201cUnfortunately, the West\u2019s long history of appeasing the Iranian regime has allowed the regime to use Western markets, companies, industries, the press, think tanks and even universities to pursue its terrorist warmongering, and unpopular goals.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranian people and their Resistance hope that the British Parliament would lead the way in this regard, including designating the IRGC as a terrorist group, closing down the regime\u2019s embassies, expelling the regime\u2019s agents, and revoking their residential documents in the West,\u201d Mrs. Rajavi added.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"David<\/p>\n

The Rt. Hon. David Jones began his remarks by praising \u201cThe important role that the women of Iran have played in the struggle for freedom and democracy. They have shown huge courage, dedication, and determination.\u201d He then emphasized that this leading role \u201cis inspired by the leadership of Madam Rajavi, as the president of the Democratic Opposition Movement, the NCRI, and reflects over 40 years of struggle<\/a> by tens of thousands of female members of the PMOI who have rallied to the cause of the Resistance movement.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe PMOI and the NCRI are central to that cause of freedom, as they have been for so many decades. You’re at the forefront of the struggle against the regime, and you’ve been instrumental in mobilizing the people of Iran to stand up for their rights and claim for themselves and for their children the future of the country that they love,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than ever, it is necessary for Parliamentarians and freedom loving dignitaries to support the people of Iran and their uprising. Your efforts to encourage the UK to designate the IRGC as a banned terrorist entity are truly valuable. #IranRevolution<\/a>#BlacklistIRGC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4KlFN8EU9g<\/a><\/p>\n
