Rally DC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On March 11, following a major summit<\/a> that featured leaders and prominent figures from both ends of the American political spectrum, a rally was held in front of the White House in Washington, DC, where Iranian Americans and supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a> and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) came together to express their solidarity with the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people and their desire to overthrow the mullahs\u2019 regime. The rally was a demonstration of the strong support for the Iranian people’s quest for democracy and freedom, which was the central theme of the bipartisan conference held earlier in the day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rally was also an opportunity for Iranian Americans and supporters of the MEK and NCRI to voice their concerns about the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on dissidents and opposition groups. They urged the international community to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its human rights abuses and to support the Iranian people in their struggle for democracy and freedom.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the conference, Mrs. Rajavi emphasized<\/a> that the missing link in western policy towards Tehran is the exclusion of the Iranian people and the Resistance from the equation in Iran. She highlighted that this has harmful effects not only on the people of Iran but also on the region and the world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The speakers at the conference and rally rejected the notion of the return of the ousted monarchy to Iran and highlighted the importance of democracy and freedom in Iran. Mike Pence, the 48th Vice President of the U.S. and former Governor of Indiana, stated that there is an alternative to the ruling theocracy, which is a well-organized, fully prepared, perfectly qualified, popularly supported resistance movement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
