Maryam Rajavi: Three major commitments of the Iranian Resistance: regime change, universal suffrage and people’s sovereignty, and social freedom and justice
Speech to the Free Iran Global Summit
Hail to all of you, especially the city of martyrs, the arisen people of Behbahan and millions of our outraged compatriots who stood up against through a huge twitter and cyber storm against the inhuman death sentences against young people.
Indeed, the mullahs' regime has not and will not be relieved of the convulsions produced by that fierce uprising. That is why, terrified of more uprisings around the corner, the mullahs' criminal judiciary resorted to sentencing three detained November protesters to execution. But it was proven that such action will backfire.
I take this opportunity to commend you all, members and supporters of the Iranian Resistance, who are taking part in this summit from thousands of locations in five continents.
I would also like to express our thanks and gratitude to lawmakers, and hundreds of political dignitaries across the world who have joined the Free Iran Global Summit.
Voice of Resistance Units and Rebellious Cities
This summit echoes the voice of the Iranian people’s 40-year Resistance against religious dictatorship and fascism and for freedom and democracy.
This is the voice of the largest, the longest-standing, most sophisticated, and most serious organized resistance in Iran’s history, with the roaring river of its martyrs’ blood, and the moving chants of massacred Mojahedin who continued to insist on their belief to the end, against the most murderous and cruel rulers.
This summit echoes calls for the clerical regime’s overthrow, which were heard during successive uprisings from December 2017 and January 2018 to November 2019 and January 2020. It is the people’s calls for the regime’s overthrow after the conclusion of “reformer vs. principlist” theatrics that was aimed at preserving this very regime.
This summit is the voice of Resistance Units and rebellious cities across Iran who have put an end to a history of despair, incredulity and inaptitude, replacing it with the pledge of “we can and we must.”
Today's summit represents our enchained homeland in three of its most prominent features:
A rebellious and revolutionary Iran;
An Iran united in solidarity;
And a free and democratic Iran of tomorrow.
Three major pledges of the Iranian Resistance
We have come together to underline three monumental and historic commitments that we have pledged to accomplish.
Our first commitment is that we, the people of Iran and the Iranian Resistance, will overthrow the clerical regime and will reclaim Iran.
Our second commitment is that we, the people of Iran and the Iranian Resistance, will build a free and democratic Iran.
And our third commitment is to remain faithful to our people’s sovereignty and their vote; to not seek power at any cost, but to establish freedom and justice at any cost; to never return to the dictatorships of the Shah and the mullahs. And, as the majority of elected lawmakers in the U.S. and Europe have pointed out, we want to establish a democratic, secular and non-nuclear Iran.
The uprisings are a brilliant model for the larger operation of overthrowing the regime
From all indications, the ruling theocracy is at the point of being overthrown.
Although the virus of the ruling religious fascism and its accomplice, the coronavirus, have joined forces to demoralize and pacify our people and society, we saw during the November 2019 uprising that the protests suddenly erupted in 900 locations across the country. This created a brilliant model for the great uprising that will overthrow the regime.
The uprisings that spanned from December 2017 and January 2018 to November 2019 and January 2020 were not about reforming the regime and had nothing to say to the mullahs. They did not ask anything from the mullahs. Rather, these uprisings sought to overthrow the clerics.
In the midst of these uprisings, this generation delivered the thunderous chants of “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the (supreme) Leader.” “We don't want the Shah or the Leader, we don't want a choice between bad and worse.”
This generation chants “Our enemy is right here. They lie when they say it’s America.”
This generation is a constant nightmare for the mullahs. Indeed, the clerics have come face-to-face with a rebellious generation against which they are vulnerable.
The Iranian Resistance relied on precise and well-documented reports to register the figure of 1,500 martyrs during the November 2019 uprising. The actual figure is much higher. A multitude of documents obtained by the NCRI’s Security and Counterterrorism Committee from within the National Emergency Organization, which relate to Tehran alone, are the tip of the iceberg and confirm this fact.
These uprisings checkmated the Iranian regime’s political apologists, advocates, lobbyists and paid operatives, because the protests completely discredited their deception and lies.
They kept saying that it would be inconceivable for the people of Iran to turn to uprisings and revolution to overthrow the mullahs.
They kept saying that change in Iran will not happen except from within the regime itself.
And time and again, they repeated the mullahs’ false claim about the PMOI/MEK’s lack of popular support. They were searching for young and teenage MEK members when suddenly they saw with their own eyes throngs of young people overwhelming the streets of Iranian cities. And they were irritated when they saw that two progressive students [who supported the MEK] were detained.
This explains why the mullahs and their mob of interrogators and functionaries have unleashed against the Resistance and the PMOI/MEK. They see themselves about to be overthrown and are in agony over the fact that these uprisings and rebellious youth have adopted the roadmap and the strategy of the PMOI/MEK.
