The Interparliamentary Committee for a Free Iran in Italy issued a statement on April 12 regarding a conference on the same day in the Italian Senate titled “The road map towards a Democratic Iran.” The conference was held in the Italian Parliament’s press conference room, chaired by MP Elisabetta Gardini. Several deputies and senators attended the conference and expressed support for the Iranian people’s struggle for a secular and democratic republic and the Ten Point Plan of Iranian opposition president-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi.\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the statement highlighted, the conference at the Italian Parliament on the road map toward a democratic Iran was a platform for various Italian parliamentarians to express their support for the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy and to call on the West to review its policy toward Iran and take concrete measures to isolate the regime and support the resistance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement underlines how Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s plan<\/a> rejects any form of dictatorship, whether of the shah or of the religious.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance, spoke online at the conference and said that the recent riots have exposed the instability and fragility of the Iranian regime to the world. She called on Italy and the European Union to designate the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a terrorist organization and to recognize the Iranian people’s struggle to overthrow the regime.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Italian parliamentary delegation, led by Senator Giulio Terzi, had recently traveled to Ashraf, the home of thousands of members of the main Iranian opposition movement, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of the of Iran (MEK).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
