Dear Friends,
Be sure to read
On the anniversary of the February revolution, I declare on behalf of the Iranian Resistance:
1. Despite the most barbaric suppression, which is with little precedence in today’s world, the Iranian people have never submitted to the clerical regime. The mullahs’ strategy to pursue their nuclear program, exporting terrorism and fundamentalism has been defeated. Social discontent and the organized resistance have brought the regime to an impasse.
2. The clerical regime’s greatest defeat was the failure of its attacks and extensive campaign to destroy the Iranian Resistance, damage its unified ranks and strength and conspire against its leader.
By overcoming the most difficult tests, with a specific platform and programs and with more than three decades of struggle, the Iranian Resistance is the sole democratic alternative to this regime.
3. The velayat-e faqih regime is the fountainhead and the main sponsor of terrorism and fundamentalism in the region. The first and most important necessary step to confront extremism under the banner of Islam is to evict this regime from Iraq and Syria. Partnering with the mullahs’ regime in the coalition against the ISIS is a hundred times more dangerous than Islamic fundamentalism, whether Shiite or Sunni. It would only contribute to the expansion and deepening of the current catastrophe.
4. The appeasement policy of western governments in the course of the nuclear talks only emboldens the regime to pursue nuclear weapons. The clerical regime must be compelled to fully implement Security Council resolutions, stop uranium enrichment and allow snap inspections of all facilities and suspect sites.
5. The Iranian regime’s 36-year record of atrocities, especially the crimes at Camp Ashraf and the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, must be referred to the international criminal court by the United Nations. The world community must impose comprehensive sanctions on this regime and expel its agents and terrorists. It must recognize the National Council of Resistance of Iran as the democratic alternative to this regime as well as the provisional government which would transfer sovereignty to the people of Iran.
6. The US government, the UN and the European Union must act consistent with their legal commitments and obligations to end the siege, especially the medical blockade, of Camp Liberty and declare the Camp as a refugee camp under UN monitoring. The US must provide and guarantee the protection of Camp Liberty or at least, as 4000 parliamentarians have declared, return some of the Mujahedin’s personal weaponry, which they need for their protection against the Revolutionary Guards Quds Force and their affiliated militias. The Mujahedin voluntarily handed over these weapons to the US in 2003.
