Maryam Rajavi meets MEP Antonio LÓPEZ-ISTÚRIZ White

On Wednesday, September 27, 2023, Maryam Rajavi had a meeting with Mr. Antonio LÓPEZ-ISTÚRIZ WHITE, a Member of the European Parliament from Spain and a member of the EP Foreign Affairs Committee and Subcommittee on Security and Defence.

Noting the MEPs’ pervasive support for the Iranian people’s uprising, Mr. LÓPEZ-ISTÚRIZ pointed out: The death of Zhina Mahsa Amini, the Iranian people’s extensive protests, and the regime’s ruth-less crackdown on them provoked a wave of opposition and objections among the MEPs. This issue is one of the few over which all members from various political groups unanimously agree.

Mr. LÓPEZ-ISTÚRIZ, already sanctioned by the clerical regime, said that the terrorist label from this regime is a badge of honor for me and shows that we have taken reasonable steps. But as far as the Iranian Resistance is concerned, many of the representatives are impressed by your resistance and perseverance and continue to support and cooperate with you regardless of other interventions.

I extended my gratitude to Mr. LÓPEZ-ISTÚRIZ and his colleagues in the European Parliament for supporting the Iranian Resistance and, particularly, for defending the rights of PMOI members in Ashraf and Liberty, Iraq and then in Ashraf 3 in Albania.
I emphasized that we are an independent resistance movement that has fought the regime for 44 years by relying on our own forces and our people.
The endless line of our martyrs and 120,000 political executions in Iran under the mullahs’ rule attest to this fact.
I reiterated in this meeting that despite the arrest of more than 30,000 protesters during the upris-ing, more individuals are joining the struggle against oppressive religious fascism.
