The statement recalled the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/campaigns\/2026\/01\/what-happened-at-the-protests-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January crackdown<\/a> in which thousands of people protesting in more than 400 cities were reportedly killed, describing it as a massacre that shocked the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"927\">The signatories said Iranians have rejected both clerical rule and a return to monarchy, and instead are demanding a democratic republic. They stressed that Iran\u2019s future should be decided by its own people through free elections, without war or foreign military intervention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"1318\">The laureates described the NCRI\u2019s announcement of a provisional government, based on a Ten-Point Plan presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, as an important step toward transferring sovereignty to the people. They said the plan supports free and fair elections, a market-based economy, separation of religion and state, gender and minority equality, a peaceful foreign policy, and a non-nuclear Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More than 100 Nobel Laureates Urge <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@UN<\/a> Action on Human Rights Crisis in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/njTk4CwiYJ\">https:\/\/t.co\/njTk4CwiYJ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/s7TGjZCFJG\">pic.twitter.com\/s7TGjZCFJG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1963610380912955484?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Joint Statement by Nobel Laureates<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">In Support of Advancing Democracy and Sustainable Peace in Iran<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>March 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We, the Nobel laureates, with profound respect for the rich history and culture of the Iranian people, reemphasize that the people of this land have struggled for more than a century for freedom, the rule of law, and human dignity. Successive generations have paid a heavy price in their pursuit of a government that is accountable and grounded in the will of the people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In January, we strongly condemned the heartbreaking massacre of thousands in Iran, individuals who had taken to the streets in more than 400 cities to demand freedom. This massacre, which shocked and horrified the world, was carried out on the orders of Ali Khamenei, the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader. Now, in light of recent developments and Khamenei\u2019s death, the people of Iran and the international community are more hopeful than ever for the realization of freedom and democracy in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iranian people have clearly rejected both monarchical dictatorship and clerical rule and instead are calling for a democratic republic. We believe that the path to democracy in Iran must avoid war and foreign military intervention and must rest on free elections and the protection of the rights of the people. Iran\u2019s future should be determined by the Iranian people themselves, neither through coercion nor through the re\u2011creation of tyranny in any form. In this context, the announcement of a provisional government by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, an alliance comprising various political organizations and figures aimed at transferring sovereignty to the people and organizing free elections, and outlined in a 10\u2011point plan presented by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, represents an important step and a significant development underscoring a commitment to a democratic transition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Previously, 105 Nobel laureates and more than 4,000 parliamentarians, including majorities from numerous national legislatures such as those of the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Norway, as well as the U.S. Congress along with 130 former heads of state and government, endorsed this 10\u2011point plan. We stand in alignment with them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This plan affirms free and fair elections, a market\u2011based economy, the separation of religion and state, gender, religious, and ethnic equality, a peaceful foreign policy, and a non\u2011nuclear Iran. It outlines a vision for a democratic Iran and lasting peace in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">UN Experts and Nobel Laureates Condemn <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>\u2019s Smear Campaign Against Former Special Rapporteur Javaid Rehman<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZIvQ3U6eQr\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZIvQ3U6eQr<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eR7FIV3Vqy\">pic.twitter.com\/eR7FIV3Vqy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1835027551783207096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Signatories:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>President Jose Ramos-Horta, Nobel Prize, Peace 1996, Timor-Leste.
