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.
Since the beginning of 2024, political prisoners in at least 20 Iranian prisons have been staging hunger strikes every Tuesday to protest against executions.
Everyone agrees that Assad’s downfall is a serious defeat for the Iranian regime. However, a greater truth remains that with the determination of the Iranian people and their Resistance, this defeat will extend to Tehran.
Mrs. Rajavi stated that the escalating human rights violations in Iran and the regime’s disregard for UN resolutions make the referral of the regime’s crimes to the United Nations Security Council even more urgent.
Rajavi, the NCRI’s president-elect, spoke to the gathering via video conference from Paris. Her remarks were nonpartisan but predicted that IRGC forces in Iran would, like Assad’s forces, “melt like snow under the summer sun”

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.
