A majority of lawmakers in the Saxony State Parliament in Germany have issued a strong declaration supporting the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for democracy and their organized resistance movement. The statement highlights human rights violations under the clerical dictatorship and urges international backing for democratic change led by the Iranian people.<\/p>\n

The declaration, signed by prominent political figures including six ministers, two deputy speakers, three faction leaders, five faction deputies, and three committee chairs or vice-chairs, calls for a principled shift in Western policy toward Iran. It emphasizes that human rights and support for the Iranian people and their resistance should be at the core of any approach to the country.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers condemn the Iranian regime\u2019s execution spree, citing at least 1,000 executions in 2024 alone. They also denounce the so-called \u201cHijab and Chastity Law\u201d<\/a> as a tool for imposing widespread police control, not just enforcing mandatory hijab. In contrast, the democratic opposition\u2019s platform champions \u201cNo to compulsory hijab, no to compulsory religion, and no to compulsory rule\u201d, and actively supports the \u201cNo to Executions\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n
