European & Australian lawmakers & activists join @Maryam_Rajavi to tell their Govs: Appeasement of #Iran’s terrorist regime would embolden the mullahs & lead to war. To avoid war world powers should support the democratic opposition to achieve a #FreeIran. #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Australia’s Sen. Meredith Burgmann, ex-President of @nsw_upperhouse, commends Iran’s democratic opposition MEK on their new home in Albania. “What you have done in just 12 months in Ashraf-3 is extraordinary.” You are “proud, confident & strong.” #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

In Ashraf-3, home to Iran’s democratic opposition MEK, Australia’s Senator Meredith Burgmann, ex-President of @nsw_upperhouse: “The NCRI is a movement in which women are treated as equals. It is headed by a woman and is committed to democracy.” #IStandWithMaryamRajavi #FreeIran

France’s Bishop Jacques Gaillot addressing Iran’s main democratic opponents the MEK in Ashraf-3: “When I’m in this city of the Resistance, I feel like I’m among family. You are living for others, for the future of your ppl. This is extraordinary” #IStandWithMaryamRajavi #FreeIran

Cornelia Mitterrand of @Francelibertes speaking in Ashraf-3, home to the MEK (PMOI) in Albania: “Your struggle for a #FreeIran has many supporters around the world. We hope you’ll soon be victorious in the fight for freedom & democracy in Iran.” #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Cornelia Mitterrand of @FranceLibertes speaking in Ashraf-3, home to the MEK (PMOI) in Albania: “We will not tire in calling on the @IntlCrimCourt to hold Iran’s regime accountable for the #1988Massacre” of 30,000 political prisoners. #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Eric Sottas, ex-head of @omctorg, speaking in Ashraf-3 in Albania today: The rule of law can only be established if justice is served. The perpetrators of Iran’s #1988Massacre must face justice. We urge @UN to set up a tribunal for this war crime
#FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Eric Sottas, ex-head of @OMCTorg, today in Albania: Iran’s regime demonizes the MEK. It has reinforced its diplomatic presence here to persecute its main democratic opponents. But the opening of MEK’s home in Ashraf-3 is a defeat for the mullahs. #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Speaking in Ashraf-3 in Albania, @paulocasaca1: “Those who say it’s not a priority to judge the criminals behind Iran’s #1988Massacre are encouraging the regime to continue its crimes & to arrest and massacre the ppl arrested in recent protests.” #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

.@paulocasaca1: “Those who claim there’s no evidence that Iran’s regime attacked oil tankers are the worst enemies of peace. We can’t close our eyes on what it’s doing in Yemen, in Syria where it has killed ½million ppl. Is this peace?” #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Former MEP @paulocasaca1: Iran's regime used a civilian aircraft to bring explosives to Europe to bomb the MEK’s #FreeIran event in 2018. Can we doubt that they’d repeat it & increase their terrorist measures? There’s no doubt that they’d do it again. #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

.@paulocasaca1: “We’ll only achieve peace when there’s a democratic Gov in Iran, when people view Iran not as a threat but as the great nation that it is. Iran is represented by Sattar Khan, Mohammad Mossadeq & Massoud Rajavi, not by the mullahs” #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Ex-Swiss lawmaker Eric Voruz congratulates members of Iran’s democratic opposition the MEK (PMOI) in establishing their new home in Ashraf-3 in Albania. “I hope to see you soon in Ashraf-4, in a #FreeIran.” #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Swiss human rights activist Christiane Perregaux: The MEK (PMOI) has always been at the forefront of the fight against the mullahs despite the demonization campaign staged against them. World powers must end the impunity enjoyed by Iran’s regime. #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Malcolm Fowler of @TheLawSociety speaking to members of Iran’s democratic opposition MEK in Albania: “The brutality meted out by Iran’s regime & its attempts to bomb & sabotage the #FreeIran gathering in 2018 have come to nothing. The regime’s time is up.” #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Malcolm Fowler tells Iran’s democratic opposition MEK in Albania: Human rights compliance must be a condition for relations & diplomatic discussions with Iran. @TheLawSociety was with you yesterday, today, tomorrow & as long as it takes to see a #FreeIran. #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Former Swiss MP Nils de Dardel says in Albania today: It’s vital that @UNhumanrights investigates Iran’s #1988Massacre of 30000 political prisoners, which helped it consolidate its dictatorship. @IntlCrimCourt must bring perpetrators to justice. #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Ex-MEP Anne Ferreira: Iran’s regime kills/tortures the MEK & spreads misinformation to demonize its main democratic opponents. It fears the MEK’s Resistance Units who organize regime change protests by teachers, truckers & all segments of society #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

German human rights activist Christian Zimmermann: From day 1 Iran’s regime has committed every imaginable crime including mass murder, crimes against humanity & genocide. It targets its political opponents like the MEK & denies them basic rights #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

Australia's @philglendenning tells Iranian opposition MEK members in Albania: "@Maryam_Rajavi’s 10-point plan for a #FreeIran is a peace offering & the way forward not just for Iran, but for all of us. I am here to say #IStandWithMaryamRajavi, the most courageous woman on earth."

Ex-member of Germany’s Bundestag Otto Bernhardt: The US was right to blacklist the IRGC. There’ll be no freedom/peace in Middle East for as long as the mullahs are in power in Iran. They are behind all radical groups in Yemen, Lebanon & elsewhere #FreeIran #IStandWithMaryamRajavi

“Iran’s regime used money from the JCPOA to support terror instead of improving ppl’s lives. We say to our Gov in Germany & to the @eu_eeas: We can no longer support the regime” - ex Bundestag member Otto Bernhardt at MEK’s #FreeIran event in Albania today #IStandWithMaryamRajavi
