In a significant show of support for democratic change in Iran, a majority of the Welsh Parliament has endorsed Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan<\/a>, which aims to establish a democratic republic in Iran. This statement, signed by 36 out of 60 Welsh MPs, calls on the international community to support the Iranian people’s revolution for global peace and security.<\/p>\n The endorsement includes backing from 13 of the 15 committee chairs in the Welsh Parliament and three ministers. The statement condemns the Iranian regime’s suppression of its people, particularly during the 2022 uprising, where security forces were documented shooting unarmed protesters. It highlights the regime’s status as the world’s leading executioner per capita, with at least 864 executions in 2023 alone.<\/p>\n The Welsh MPs’ statement also recalls the 1988 massacre<\/a> of 30,000 political prisoners, ordered by the regime’s Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini. They criticized the recent farcical trial of over 100 PMOI members in absentia, which they see as a pretext for future terrorist acts against dissidents, particularly in Europe.<\/p>\n The Welsh parliamentarians stressed that the Iranian regime’s actions are a major source of instability in the Middle East and beyond. They condemned the regime’s role in spreading terrorism through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its proxy groups, disrupting regional and global peace.<\/p>\n Welsh Parliamentarians Rally Behind Iranian Uprising, Reject Dictatorshiphttps:\/\/t.co\/OZAgBx55z3<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) May 18, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
