The Paris conference brought together parliamentarians and political leaders from across Europe and North America, focused on supporting democratic change in Iran and recognizing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a legitimate alternative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"1221\">Sir Alan began by praising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a> for her leadership in uniting the Iranian diaspora into a powerful global Resistance movement. He highlighted the Iranian women and youth leading the charge, calling their role the driving force behind the nation\u2019s demand for change. Emphasizing Iran\u2019s deepening unrest\u2014marked by strikes across sectors\u2014he asserted that these are unmistakable signs of a \u201creal revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1515\">Drawing on decades of human rights work, he urged international labor organizations, including the UK Trades Union Congress and the ILO, to stand with Iranian workers. He called for global isolation of the regime, rejection of nuclear agreements, and immediate release of political prisoners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1681\">Sir Alan concluded with an emphatic call: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavis-ten-point-plan-for-future-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Ten-Point Plan<\/a> is not just a document\u2014it is the roadmap to a free, democratic Iran, and the world must support it now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1683\" data-end=\"1728\"><strong>The full transcript of the speech follows. Portions have been lightly edited for clarity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sir Alan Meale, former UK Minister:<br \/>&quot;Appeasement has failed.

It&#8217;s also about the resistance movement that&#8217;s there alive and thriving in trying to get freedom to that very important country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But before I start on the brief address that I&#8217;m going to make I want to pay tribute to in two areas. First is to you, Madam Rajavi, for your management of the whole mechanism to try and achieve a free Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You&#8217;ve gathered together, from the Iranian diaspora all over the world, an army of people who lead the Resistance and are organized for change and freedom in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know I\u2019ve been involved in human rights for a very very long time, and I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s a day goes by when I\u2019m not cornered by somebody from the Iranian Resistance asking me to sign something, to make contact, to be part of an organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;m not the only one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are hundreds of parliamentarians getting that all the time, and I was for seventeen years a leading member of the Council of Europe and involved in the election of the judge of the Court of Human Rights. And it wasn&#8217;t just in Britain \u2014 it was in Strasbourg, Brussels, in every one of the 47 countries that are members of the Council of Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And to say to you thank you for that management. And you&#8217;ve done it in a very, very different way than it&#8217;s been done before because you&#8217;re living proof that misogyny has no place in the future of our world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"2054\">At the lead are many courageous women, young girls, and children who are actually pushing the pace for change \u2014 in fact, demanding it \u2014 and that\u2019s what\u2019s so exciting about this revolution.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sir Alan Meale: We must rally lawyers, judges, and voices for justice worldwide. Most of all, we must strengthen support for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NCRIAlternative?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NCRIAlternative<\/a>\u2014without them, we wouldn\u2019t be here.

You made it clear \u2014 the truth is undeniable. Iran stands at a crossroads \u2014 a real crossroads \u2014 and as you mentioned in your speech, and the fine film showed, and the excellent address made by our colleague from Norway: the strikes by truck and lorry drivers are real.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And they&#8217;re now approaching the tenth day of action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And they stand alongside the many teachers who are daily going on strike, the retirees who have gone on strike, the nurses who have gone on strike and many of them have been arrested, have been threatened, some have been jailed and it&#8217;s not good enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And my colleague who&#8217;s going to speak very shortly, sir David Crosby, is an ex leading official of the transport workers in The UK and I&#8217;m the ex an ex transport minister.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2868\" data-end=\"3100\">Upon our return to the UK tomorrow, we will contact the British Trades Union Congress \u2014 the head of the unions in Britain, representing twenty-four million members \u2014 and we\u2019ll be urging them to express solidarity and offer help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3102\" data-end=\"3285\">We will also demand they contact the ILO \u2014 the International Labour Organization in Geneva \u2014 and ask what they are doing, and push them to get involved at the forefront of change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you say, I&#8217;ve been involved in, human rights for a very, very long time and you get when you&#8217;re involved in things, you get to see and recognize certain things are occurring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Madam said that tremors and earthquakes are occurring in Iran for change \u2014 you can see it. The mullahs know what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3560\" data-end=\"3692\">They recognize the strikes, the protests, the demonstrations from every layer of society \u2014 and it\u2019s never happened like this before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And what they do in such a when I&#8217;ve been involved in human rights in Southern America, South Africa, Eastern Europe, the Baltics, there&#8217;s certain things that come to the fore every time when people who are doing violations act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They&#8217;re bothered about what people read, they&#8217;re bothered about what people say, they&#8217;re bothered about what people wear, they&#8217;re bothered about what people watch and they&#8217;re bothered about what people say on the media and television.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All that&#8217;s occurring. It all occurs when things are coming to a head, when things are coming to an end and the mullahs know that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So there is a real revolution happening in Iran at this moment. And I believe I recognize most of the signs. And I\u2019ll say this: in the near future, people will ask themselves, &#8220;Why did it take so long?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4312\" data-end=\"4430\">It happens just like that. Mandela was released just like that. Killings in the Baltics \u2014 they stopped just like that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4432\" data-end=\"4554\">And we&#8217;ll look back and say, \u201cWhy did it take so long?\u201d And then we\u2019ll move forward \u2014 because there is a future to be had.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4556\" data-end=\"4780\">Madam Rajavi delivered a truly excellent discourse \u2014 highlighting the demonstrations, the plight of the people inside and outside Iran, and the pressure the Resistance has faced \u2014 even from governments, including my own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4782\" data-end=\"4884\">The U.S. said, \u201cThis is not the organization we want to work with.\u201d And yet \u2014 we turned it around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4886\" data-end=\"5054\">And we did it with the help of a document that Madam Rajavi chose to produce. It was a simple document \u2014 a Ten-Point Plan for economic recovery and freedom in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It stands today in every Parliament, we&#8217;ve seen the documents coming in again and again and again. People saying this is where it&#8217;s at. It&#8217;s not just a piece of publicity. It&#8217;s a real report, an agenda for change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An agenda that says: we want a free Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5305\" data-end=\"5441\">Sometimes, politicians put up hurdles. But now those hurdles are nearing their end \u2014 they\u2019re being pushed aside. Appeasement has failed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5443\" data-end=\"5626\">No more deals. What we want is the introduction of the Ten-Point Plan. And we want the UN to play a real part \u2014 along with the allies who now recognize the necessity of this plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5628\" data-end=\"5754\">We need them to accept it. We need to accept the UN Charter for change and recognize the threats posed to global security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5756\" data-end=\"5831\">There should be no deals whatsoever on nuclear fusion or nuclear waste.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5833\" data-end=\"5848\">And I ask: why?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5850\" data-end=\"6046\">Iran is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources \u2014 gas, energy, oil. And yet, it is secretly stockpiling material to build a nuclear bomb through nuclear fusion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"6048\" data-end=\"6052\">Why?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"6054\" data-end=\"6161\">The direction of science is changing. Soon, if you want energy, you won\u2019t need oil and gas in the same way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"6163\" data-end=\"6282\">They will still be useful \u2014 for medicine, fertilizer, and many industries \u2014 but the way energy is produced is evolving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"6284\" data-end=\"6367\">So this nuclear program was never really about energy. It was about something else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"6369\" data-end=\"6435\">It was about nuclear weapons. That\u2019s what it was always about.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sir Alan Meale: When <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Maryam_Rajavi<\/a> said these movements are causing political earthquakes in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>, she was right.

That\u2019s already happening \u2014 organized successfully by resistance movements. But we must go further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"6796\" data-end=\"6988\">We should insist immediately on the release of all detained prisoners, and we should urge the United Nations to set up a system to examine what has occurred in Iran \u2014 in the past, and now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"6990\" data-end=\"7028\">Now you may say, \u201cThat can\u2019t be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7030\" data-end=\"7156\">But I know how the overseas budgets of governments work. You don\u2019t need to give lots of money. You need to provide judges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7158\" data-end=\"7265\">And where better to find them than in the Iranian diaspora? There are already lawyers and judges out there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7267\" data-end=\"7363\">We need to recruit them across Europe and the world, and give them an agenda for change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7365\" data-end=\"7458\">And lastly \u2014 and most importantly \u2014 we must continue and expand our support for the NCRI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7460\" data-end=\"7521\">Because without them, we would not be where we are today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7523\" data-end=\"7607\">And if we want to win \u2014 and I believe we will \u2014 we won\u2019t get there without them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7609\" data-end=\"7690\">The future is the Iranian people \u2014 free and democratic.
