Free Iran 2024 World Summit: Onward to a Democratic Republic

The Free Iran 2024 World Summit convened on Saturday, June 29, 2024, in Paris, coinciding with a huge rally by freedom-loving Iranians in Berlin. The summit took place over three days, from June 29 to July 1, featuring a stunning display of 20,000 courageous acts by Resistance Units in cities across Iran to welcome the event.
Hundreds of political dignitaries from the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and Arab countries participated in this summit. The attendees included former presidents, vice presidents, prime ministers, and ministers, as well as legislators, legal scholars, and human rights defenders. They delivered compelling speeches in support of the Iranian people’s rightful resistance against religious fascism, emphasizing the need for a decisive policy against the mullahs’ terrorist dictatorship.
Underlining the ascension of the Iranian people’s resistance, former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said, “Because of all of you, the winds of change are blowing in Iran stronger than ever before.” He also commended the National Council of Resistance of Iran for being ready to lead, adding, “I want the wider world to understand that the MEK and the NCRI share the same values that Western nations hold dear.”
The former US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, also said, “The MEK provides a solution to so many problems, not only for Iran but for the broader Middle East as well. There is an alternative.”
Mr. Stephen Harper, the former Prime Minister of Canada, underscored the capability of the NCRI as an alternative and said, “The alternative to the regime is not chaos; it is this, Iran’s well-organized and democratic opposition.”
The former Speaker of the British House of Commons, John Bercow, lauded the NCRI’s Ten-Point Plan as “one of the most eloquent articulate, and comprehensive statements of alternative that any Democrat could wish to see.” He emphasized the plan’s focus on “the sovereignty of the people, the right of the people to choose their parliament and to choose their rulers.”
Liz Truss, the British Prime Minister in 2022, said, “We should never ever give up on the idea of a free and democratic Iran.” She called for increasing pressure on the Iranian regime and backing those who want change, adding, “We need to step up our efforts to stop the supply of funding to the Iranian regime, to increase the sanctions on the regime.”
Addressing Iranians gathered for the huge rally in Berlin and PMOI freedom fighters on the first day of the Free Iran World Summit, Maryam Rajavi extended her congratulations on the Iranian people’s victory in boycotting the clerical regime’s sham elections.
