Iranian opposition convention in Paris, is being welcomed by MEPs

This year’s Iranian opposition convention in Paris, scheduled for June 30th, is being welcomed by more lawmakers, Members of the European Parliament and French Mayors.

MEPs from Croatia, Estonia, Finland and the United Kingdom sent a separate message supporting the Iranian people’s uprising and their call for democracy and human rights, in addition to announcing their intention to participate in the Free Iran rally.

I’d like to join my colleagues in the European Parliament to express my best wishes for the Paris rally on the thirtieth of June for free Iran.

I believe the European Union and our governments must put human rights as their priority in dealing with Iran, Human Rights in Iran continued to deteriorate with peaceful protesters facing intimidation, violence, detention and torture. in a nationwide protest in December in January people protested against high cost of living poverty repression and the lack of freedom and democracy, these protests have continued and the right to free speech and peaceful protests of vital human rights, that the regime blame these protests on the P.M.O. I, shows how concerned the regime about the opposition movement under the leadership of Miss Maryam Rajavi.

women have played an active role in these protests and I really admire their courage as stand today in solidarity with my Iranian sisters and send solidarity to all of you thank you.

Anders Primdahl Vistisen, a Danish politician and Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Denmark. He is a member of the Danish People’s Party, part of the European Conservatives and Reformists.

I’m Anders Vistisen and I’m the first Vice Chair of the European Union’s foreign affairs committee. I’m here to talk to you about the situation in Iran. Iran have for many years successfully been able to spread terrorism, extremism, fundamentalism and instability in the region. And they have also been holding their own population in a stronghold, where they have deprived them of central human rights and everyday life, the Iranian citizens is a living hell. Therefore we have seen a courageous uprising from Iranian citizens in the last year and the beginning of this year. These protests I support full heartedly and I hope that they will succeed and therefore I also sent my best regards to the Iranian opposition when they meet in Paris on the 30th of June, to have really a congress for free Iran.
