Thousands of Iranians Demonstrate in Europe and the US Supporting NCRI\u2019s Announcement of Provisional Government <\/strong>for Transfer of Sovereignty to the People and Establishment of a Democratic Republic based on Mrs. Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: No Return to the Past, No Stagnation in the Present, but a Leap Forward Toward a Free, Democratic, and Advanced Future<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, thousands of Iranians took to the streets in Paris, Washington, London, Berlin, Brussels, Rome, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, Copenhagen, Aarhus, and several other major European cities to demonstrate their support for the National Council of Resistance of Iran\u2019s (NCRI) announcement of a provisional government to transfer sovereignty to the people and establish a democratic republic based on Mrs. Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/a>. Various groups of Iranian expatriates, including ethnic minorities, participated in these demonstrations. While backing the provisional government, they called on the international community to recognize this government and the struggle of the Iranian people and rebellious youths against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to achieve freedom.<\/p>\n

At the rally of thousands of Iranians at Trocadero Square in Paris, speakers included Mrs. Sarvnaz Chitsaz, Chair of the NCRI Women\u2019s Committee; Mr. Abolghasem Rezaee, Deputy of the NCRI Secretariat; and Mrs. Zinat Mirhashemi, NCRI member and Editor-in-Chief of Nabard-e Khalq.<\/p>\n

At the Washington rally in front of the U.S. Congress, Ms. Soona Samsami, Representative of the NCRI in the US, and Mr. Arash Saleh, Representative of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, were among the speakers.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators emphasized that the people of Iran seek a future based on a democratic republic and firmly reject both the dictatorships of the Shah and the mullahs. The participants declared to the international community that only the Iranian people possess the necessary legitimacy to determine their country\u2019s political future through the transfer of sovereignty and the establishment of a republic based on universal suffrage, pluralism, and the principles of the NCRI\u2019s Ten-Point Plan, which includes complete gender equality, the separation of religion and state, and a non-nuclear Iran.<\/p>\n

In a message to these demonstrations, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), emphasized: \u201cOur homeland is in the midst of the most tumultuous developments of the past half-century. Yet, amidst this vortex of danger and darkness, the light of resistance and uprising shines. The solution for Iran is neither war nor appeasement; the solution is the overthrow of the regime by the people and the organized uprising and resistance.\u201d She added, \u201cNeither will the remnants of Khamenei be able to preserve the regime by appointing a new Supreme Leader, nor can the remnants of the Shah return Iran from a religious dictatorship to a monarchical dictatorship. Only the Iranian people have the legitimate right to determine their country\u2019s political future. In a word, no return to the past, no stagnation in the present, but a leap toward a free, democratic, and advanced future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi noted: \u201cWe call on all governments to pressure this regime to release political prisoners, especially under war conditions where they face serious and double danger.\u201d<\/p>\n
