The Iranian regime, with its warmongering in the Middle East, sending drones and missiles for killing in Ukraine, and continuous terrorist operations across the world, including in the United States, has shown that it is an urgent threat to peace and security in today's world and the head of the snake of warmongering and terrorism.
Resolution 1148 and your conference today are of great importance given the current situation in Iran. On one hand, the people and the Resistance of Iran are engaged in a struggle to overthrow this regime. On the other hand, this regime is fueling war across the Middle East and beyond, including Europe, to overcome the crisis of its downfall
At the conclusion of his six-year mission, Professor Javaid Rehman, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Iran, issued a detailed report declaring that the massacre of PMOI prisoners in 1981, 1982, and 1988 constitutes clear examples of crimes against humanity and genocide.
With profound grief over the passing of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, a true champion of justice and human rights, and a courageous and unforgettable advocate, I extend my heartfelt condolences, along with those of the Iranian people and Resistance, especially the women of the Iranian Resistance, to the people of America, members of the U.S. Congress, her family, and all who cherish freedom.
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.
