On March 12, 2026, at the United Nations\u2019 European Headquarters in Geneva, international human rights advocates and representatives of the Iranian Resistance convened to address the dire escalation of repression under Mojtaba Khamenei\u2019s newly established hereditary rule. The conference underscored the strength of the Resistance Units<\/a> and the National Council of Resistance of Iran\u2019s (NCRI) Ten-Point Plan as the only legitimate path toward a secular republic, while forcefully rejecting the “fake opposition” seeking a return to monarchical dictatorship.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/b>, President-elect of the NCRI, delivered a keynote address defining the current struggle as a “war between the people of Iran and their resistance on one side, and religious fascism on the other.” She warned that the succession of the younger Khamenei proves that “a viper cannot give birth to a dove,” noting that the Revolutionary Guards have officially authorized firing upon any protester. Mrs. Rajavi presented the Ten-Point Plan<\/a> as the definitive alternative, emphasizing it is “a plan for the future of a free Iran, based on democracy and human rights,” which includes the separation of religion and state and the “autonomy of ethnic nationalities.” She challenged the international community\u2019s history of silence, asserting, “By staying silent about the repression of freedoms in Iran, they gave the most significant concession to the regime. They allowed it to escape punishment for its crimes.” Underlining the NCRI\u2019s long-standing legitimacy, Mrs. Rajavi stated that this alternative was “established 44 years ago based on the principle of No to Shah, No to the mullahs.”<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi concluded her remarks<\/a>: “In this war, political prisoners are in the greatest danger. The clerical regime must be compelled to release them. The crimes of this regime should also be referred to the United Nations Security Council. The leaders of the regime must face justice through international mechanisms or by member states under the principle of universal jurisdiction.”<\/p>\n

The main war is the war between the people of Iran and their resistance on one side, and religious fascism on the other. This struggle has continued for 44 years, since June 20, 1981.
