speech by President-elect of the National Council of Resistance
of Iran (NCRI) to the conference at the UK parliament on the occasion of the
international human rights day, 10 December 2015: Source: Maryam-Rajavi.com
The
International Human Rights Day is actually the day of Iran and the people of
Iran because my country is where people are most eager and thirsty for human
rights.It is the day of Iran because it is the most oppressed country in the
world today with all her freedoms enchained.
It
is the day of Iran, because her people have fought most for human rights in our
time. 120,000 PMOI [the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran] members and
other freedom fighters have been executed, including 30,000 political prisoners
who were massacred in 1988. And the PMOI members in camps Ashraf and Liberty
who lost their lives for being steadfast against the clerical regime.
All
of them have written Iran’s history of human rights in their blood; the eternal
word they have written is freedom, a cause that will succeed with the Iranian
people’s resistance.
Of
course, it’s been a long time since the mullahs have embedded repression in the
lives of Iranians as a permanent factor. They have not abandoned gouging of
eyes and amputation of limbs, and executions are repeated every few hours. Our
compatriots, however, have not surrendered to this barbarism. They have never
accepted violation of their rights and removal of their freedoms.
