The rally was attended by renowned lawmakers from both sides of the Atlantic and thousands of freedom-loving Iranians.

Let&#8217;s make this new year the year of the liberation of the Iranian people from the dictatorship. This will be the best gift we could give to the Iranian people. Let me first make a moment to remember those who fell the over 750 victims of the present uprising and so many others that have been cruelly murdered by this regime. And as a mention was being made of Iraq, let me also say that we should also think about our Iraqi sisters and brothers that were murdered by the Iranian regime and its agents in Iraq.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559740&quot;:320}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">A special mention here to the member of the Iraqi parliament, Mohammed Alaqwazi, whom I&#8217;ve been with both in Geneva and here in Brussels, and who was murdered within the Iraqi parliament by the regime in connection with Al Qaeda in Iraq, working together.
