Baroness Redfern spoke during a conference held<\/a> at the United Kingdom’s Parliament on September 12, in support of the Iranian people’s uprising on its first anniversary. Reflecting on her own experiences, she highlighted the courage of those fighting for freedom in Iran.<\/p>\n

Baroness Redfern praised Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s commitment to freedom and the NCRI’s Ten-Point Plan, which offers a democratic alternative for Iran. She called on Western governments to proscribe the IRGC, the main suppressor of dissidents and exporter of terrorism. Baroness Redfern concluded by expressing her belief in the value of fighting for freedom and the ultimate goal of a free Iran.<\/p>\n

The text of Baroness Refern\u2019s speech follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, thank you very much for inviting me today and can I say listening to all the previous speakers, I think it’s been most revealing what is happening and still happening in Iran. As I was getting ready this morning to come to the conference, I had a knock at the door and it just made me reflect on what it must be like for those women and girls who are fighting for their freedom, what it must be like to get a knock on the door.<\/p>\n

We live in a free country, I could open my door and speak to whoever it was, not have something that somebody can just come and take and take away me for interrogation. Freedom is so important and have a right to speak and to have colleagues who are with you all the step of the way.<\/p>\n

Can I say I was at the Paris conference in 2018 where we had a foiled bomb plot and that many hundreds of people were there and their voices were loud and clear and can I say in 2023 their voices are even louder and clearer for a free Iran.<\/p>\n

Baroness Liz Redfern: "The NCRI\u2019s Ten-Point Plan provides a respectable, reliable alternative. Among other things, it calls for a non-nuclear, secular and democratic Republic that respects the rights of #women<\/a> and minorities."https:\/\/t.co\/Wm8zx2Gfdg<\/a><\/p>\n
