On November 29, 2024, a conference at the Italian Senate<\/a> brought together prominent political figures and foreign policy experts to discuss Europe\u2019s policy failures on Iran and to advocate for a firmer stance against Tehran\u2019s authoritarian regime. Key speakers included Senator Giulio Terzi, former Italian Foreign Minister; Alejo Vidal-Quadras, President of In Search of Justice (ISJ) and former Vice President of the EU Parliament; Farzin Hashemi, Deputy Chair of the NCRI\u2019s Foreign Affairs Committee; Matteo Angioli, Secretary General of the Global Committee for the Rule of Law; Anna Cinzia Bonfrisco, former Member of the Foreign Affairs Committees at the EU Parliament; and former Italian Senator Roberto Rampi.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event highlighted Iran\u2019s escalating human rights abuses and its continued use of state-sponsored terrorism. The discussions underscored the regime\u2019s tactics of intimidation and urged the European Union to adopt a cohesive and uncompromising policy toward Iran, ensuring the safety of its citizens while supporting the Iranian people\u2019s aspirations for freedom and democracy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Matteo Angioli<\/span><\/b> opened the conference by welcoming participants and emphasizing the importance of the event in addressing Europe\u2019s failed policy toward Iran. Angioli praised the leadership of Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras and Senator Giulio Terzi, the organizer of the initiative, for their tireless efforts to highlight the Iranian regime\u2019s human rights abuses and support for terrorism.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Angioli remarked, \u201cIt is an honor and a privilege to host Alejo Vidal-Quadras, a champion of justice and democracy, and Senator Terzi, whose leadership as President of the Permanent Commission for EU Affairs of the Italian Senate has been pivotal in this cause.\u201d He acknowledged the participation of key figures in the fight for a democratic Iran, including Cinzia Bonfrisco, Roberto Rampi, and others who have been steadfast supporters of the Iranian Resistance<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting the stage for the discussions, Angioli underlined the critical role of such conferences in galvanizing international action, adding: \u201cThis is not merely a presentation of a report but a vital step toward shedding light on the atrocities of the Iranian regime and supporting the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
