Beyond the compulsory veil, Iranian women want to end mullahs’ rule

Dozens of prominent women including political personalities, lawmakers, jurists, judges, and women’s rights advocates from 23 countries in five continents, as well Iranian exiles and supporters of the Iranian Resistance participated in a conference in Paris on February 17, 2018, to honor the International Women’s Day and declared their solidarity with the women of Iran and the Iranian people’s uprising.

In the conclusion of the conference entitled, “Women Force for Change: Iran Uprising and the Role of Women,” they signed a resolution which reads as the following:
We the undersigned of 2018 Women's Conference in Paris believe:

- The brave revolt of Iranian women against the regime is beyond just fighting against the compulsory veiling, it is for ending the theocratic dictatorship in its entirety and establishing democracy and freedom. Today women are indeed the force for change in Iran. We support and celebrate the courageous women in Iran.- The Iranian regime has been put on notice first by the women of Iran and second by the Iranian nation. Our message to the Iranian regime is: your days are numbered, democratic change is inevitable and in the horizon.

- The recent uprising in Iran is another manifestation of a nearly four-decade long glorious resistance against misogynous tyranny. The relentless and visionary leadership of Mrs. Rajavi and the resistance is vital to freedom for Iran and for Iranian women

The MEK's Religious BeliefsJubin Katiraie Blog 18 February 2018 The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) is a political group dedicated to bringing freedom and democracy to Iran. They derive their political beliefs from a modern and tolerant version of Islam that is fully compatible with modern society – the exact opposite of the ruling mullahs’ Sharia Law, which is intolerant, extremist, genocidal, non-democratic, and misogynist – and the MEK believe that their interpretation is the true meaning of Islam. In 1982, MEK leader Massoud Rajavi, said: “The Islam we want is nationalistic, democratic, progressive, and not opposed to science or civilization. We believe there is no contradiction between modern science and true Islam, and we believe that in Islam there must be no compulsion or dictatorship.” This combination of tolerant religion and politics means that the MEK enjoys broad public support amongst the Iranian people and people all over the world, but it is...

Neumann After lashing out against opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran in several parliamentary debates, a member of the European Parliament has admitted to doing the bidding of Tehran. In a meeting in Brussels, Portuguese socialist MEP Ana Gomes acknowledged that she had been instructed in Tehran to bash the Iranian opposition. “I met with relatives of the victims of a terrorist organisation called MEK,” she said on her visit to Tehran in a meeting of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee on 22 February 2018. After making a number of allegations about the Iranian opposition movement PMOI or MEK, she added: “We cannot continue to allow some members of this parliament, possibly out of naiveté, to continue to abet some of the members of this organization.” Her claims are particularly surprising, given that competent European and American court...
