30000 Iranians rally in Paris in of support Maryam Rajavi for a democratic change in Iran

Maryam Rajavi in her speech told the cheering crowd together we are capable of bringing about a democratic change to our country

Iranians residing in France as well as representatives from Iranian communities in various European and North American countries took part in the event and declared with one voice, "No to war, no to appeasement, yes to democratic change with Maryam Rajavi."

In an address to the gathering, Mrs. Rajavi said, "Western leaders imagined that, by granting concessions to the mullahs and sacrificing human rights and the Iranian people's just Resistance, they could safeguard Western interests. Shortly thereafter, however, it became evident that this policy had set the stage for a disaster, leading to the ascension of Ahmadinejad and the project to build nuclear weapons. It put the world up against the danger of a war. Today, there is only one way to thwart this threat. The West must reverse course and respect the will of the Iranian people to establish democracy."

She emphasized, "Today, we are not asking you for anything, neither money, nor weapons. But we demand that you remain neutral in the struggle the Iranian nation is waging to attain freedom and democracy. We are demanding that you remove the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran from the terrorist list and recognize the right of the Iranian people to resist dictatorship."

Referring to the recent negotiations and incentives offered to the regime by the permanent members of the UN Security Council, Mrs. Rajavi said, "Nevertheless, if you can compel this barbaric regime to retreat from suppression, terrorism and nuclear weapons through negotiations, we would welcome that. You can again try your chances in this test which you have already failed dozens of times. But you have no right to sacrifice the rights and the liberties of the Iranian nation at the altar of negotiations."
