Maryam Rajavi is the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (Coalition of democratic Iranian opposition) for the transitional period during which sovereignty will be transferred to the people of Iran. Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for the future of Iran calls for a republic based on the separation of religion and state, gender equality, abolition of the death penalty and a non-nuclear Iran.
Everyone wishes for the release of every hostage held in the mullahs’ prisons. But in such exchanges, French policy must never be allowed to fall hostage to the regime’s blackmail—because that only encourages them to take more hostages.
Two different policies are possible to confront this regime. The first is a policy based on attempting to change the regime's behavior or encourage it to retreat. This policy has already failed.
Western countries, under the illusion of finding a moderate faction within the regime, ignored their international responsibilities, to take the necessary actions. They never imagined that the fire of the regime’s warmongering would spread to Europe as well. European governments even bowed to the hostage-taking policies of the mullahs.
While the regime’s policy of warmongering has suffered irreparable blows and it feels the imminent threat of uprising and overthrow, it has drastically accelerated the pace of executions and killings.
The endless chain of mining disasters under the mullahs’ regime—and the recent string of tragic worker deaths in Bajestan (Khorasan Razavi Province) and Damghan (Semnan Province)—deeply wounds the conscience and heart of every Iranian.
These tragedies will only come to an end…— Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) April 10, 2025

Maryam Rajavi was born into a middle-class family in Tehran. One of her brothers, Mahmoud, is a veteran member of the PMOI/MEK and was a political prisoner during the Shah’s regime.
Her older sister, Narges, was killed by the Shah’s secret police, SAVAK, in 1975.
Her other sister, Massoumeh, an industrial engineering student, was arrested by the clerical regime in 1982. Pregnant at the time, she was ultimately hanged after undergoing brutal torture. Massoumeh’s husband, Massoud Izadkhah, was also executed.
Maryam Rajavi graduated with honors from the prestigious Sharif University of Technology in metallurgical engineering.
She joined the PMOI/MEK to participate in the popular resistance against the two corrupt dictatorships of the Shah and the mullahs. In the 1970s, during her college years, she organized anti-Shah student protests.
In 1980, she ran for a seat in Parliament from Tehran. But, due to widespread voter fraud by the new fundamentalist regime, none of the opposition candidates made it into Parliament. Despite the scam, Maryam Rajavi received over 250,000 votes.
