.@GiulioTerzi tells the #FreeIran protest by supporters of the MEK in Brussels today: "The European Union must blacklist Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) as a terrorist organization and expel all the Iranian regime's diplomats." #IStandWithMaryamRajavi @eu_eeas

Senator Ingrid Betancourt tells opponents of Iran's regime in Brussels: It's dangerous that @eu_eeas is terrified to bring to justice Iranian regime's diplomat-terrorist who tried to kill thousands of people at the MEK's #FreeIran rally in Paris last June. #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Ingrid Betancourt: For too long we tried to find moderates in Iran's regime but saw more missile production, warmongering & interference in Syria/Yemen. We tell @eu_eeas to end the nuclear deal; support Iran's people & MEK as they end the regime #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Prof Eric David of @ULBruxelles tells today's #FreeIran rally: "120000 MEK activists have been executed by Iran's regime since 1981 for political & religious reasons. The perpetrators of this crime should be tried, and I hope that will come soon." #IStandWithMaryamRajavi @eu_eeas

.@womenncri chair Sarvnaz Chitsaz says today's #FreeIran rally urges @eu_eeas to denounce Iran regime's human rights abuses, shut down its embassies, expel its MOIS spies & #BlacklistIRGC. #IStandWithMaryamRajavi @GermanyDiplo @foreignoffice @BelgiumMFA @francediplo_EN @ItalyMFA

Syrian opposition's Haitham Maleh “Assad is torturing Syrian prisoners with the blessing of Iran's regime. Since the arrival of Iran's regime, there has been chaos in the region. The Iranian regime created terrorism. For stability it must go.” #IStandWithMaryamRajavi #FreeIran

NCRI's Zinat Mirhashemi: The mullahs' regime neither wants nor can respond to ppl's needs, which is why there are growing protests. Only Iran's ppl and their organized resistance can bring about a #FreeIran. This is totally different from war & appeasement #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Iran Kurdistan Khebat Org’s Kak Baba Sheikh Hosseini: #IranProtests will go on until we overthrow regime & establish a state founded on democracy & separation of church & state. World must stop appeasing the regime & recognize our ppl's Resistance movement #IStandWithMaryamRajavi
