Excerpts from remarks by Members of Congress
SharesThe Iranian people's aspiration for freedom, democracy and respect for human rights and liberties has and will continue to have the full support of the democratic party of Albania and myself.
SharesIt's an honor to join you as a champion of a democratic and free Iran.
SharesI'm honored to come together to share a few words with all of those across the globe who long for a free Iran and to break the chains of authoritarianism.
SharesThat word 'free' in other words, like in freedom, democracy, and human rights, unfortunately doesn't hold much meaning these days inside Iran.
SharesMrs. Rajavi, honorable colleagues, elected representatives from around the world, ladies and gentlemen, it's a great privilege for me to be here with you today.
SharesI want to begin by thanking all of you for your dedication, your devotion, and your commitment to the cause of a secular, democratic, and non-nuclear Iran.
SharesMadam President-elect Rajavi, thank you very much for your words that I consider, as a European, a wakeup call for Europe. I can see a wakeup call for the international community as a whole.
SharesNow is the time to get rid of the genocidal regime of the Mullahs.
SharesIt is such a pleasure to be with you, Madame Rajavi. I wish that we could be together as we were in 2018.
SharesI thank the organizers of the 2021 convention for a free Iran and Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, NCRI's President-elect, for your ongoing commitment and your visionary leadership in support of human rights.
SharesIn this summit, we hear the voices of the Iranian people, the rebels and protesters, as well as freedom advocates.
SharesThe Iranian people have a proud and distinguished history. It pains us to see what Iran has become in the hands of narrow minded, bigoted fanatics.
SharesThe awareness of the dreams and the struggle of ordinary Iranian people is moving beyond a world of insiders in the corridors of power.
SharesMy uncle President Kennedy wrote a famous book called While England Slept, documenting the failure of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler in World War II.
SharesIt's not so often that the United States Congress comes together to agree on something in a bipartisan manner, when the two political parties echo the same message.
SharesLike most members of Congress, I have been following the developments in Iran closely and with alarm.
SharesPresident-elect Maryam Rajavi and honorable guests. From all indications, Iran has gone through this seminal transformation, much to the chagrin of the medieval tyranny's apologists.
SharesI am here to express support for the people of Iran in the continuing quest and struggle for freedom, democracy, and human rights.
SharesMaryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, provided the following exclusive answers to questions from The Washington Times on July 7, 2021.
