Conference at the UK Parliament to Stop Executions in Iran and Support the NCRI Provisional Government<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s speech: “Honorable Members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords,
\nDistinguished friends, Thank you for your attention to the critical situation in Iran and for your valuable solidarity with the Iranian people\u2019s resistance to establish a democratic republic. Today, our people and our country are facing very difficult conditions. On one hand, they are confronted with the many hardships of war, caused by the regime\u2019s\u00a0nuclear and terrorist projects<\/a>. On the other hand, a regime that has become fragile and unstable has intensified its campaign of repression against Iranian society. This includes the arrest of thousands of people, the complete and continued shutdown of the internet, and the execution of young people arrested during the uprising, as well as members of the\u00a0People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“Since March 19, the ruling clerics have\u00a0executed 18 political prisoners<\/a>. Eight of them were members of the PMOI, and the other ten were from among rebellious protesters. They were tried and sentenced to death in unjust courts that violated minimum judicial standards. They had been deprived of all their rights, subjected to torture, and their families were arrested or faced with threats and abuse.”<\/p>\n
