“The united front of Iranians,” Mrs. Rajavi continued, “Clearly demonstrated that they would not be silent if justice and the rule of law were disregarded along with freedom, democracy, and human rights.”
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said in a video message to the many Iranians who protested in Brussels this morning against the disgraceful treaty that would legalize prisoner swaps with the Iranian regime: “The treaty’s actual substance and name amount to granting impunity to religious fascism’s terrorism and to the mullahs, who were about to carry out a mass killing in Paris, marking the biggest terrorist incident in Europe. However, with your round-the-clock efforts, you, and other conscientious people exposed the scandalous conspiracy internationally in a short period of time. You are indeed an extension of the rebellions and Resistance Units on the world stage.”
“The united front of Iranians,” Mrs. Rajavi continued, “Clearly demonstrated that they would not be silent if justice and the rule of law were disregarded along with freedom, democracy, and human rights.”
The NCRI President-elect emphasized that “The campaign against appeasing the unrestrained terrorism of the ruling mullahs, just like the campaign to expose their secret nuclear facilities and projects, is not only defending the highest interests of the Iranian people but is also a great service to international peace and security, especially in relation to bombing peaceful gatherings and defending the lives and safety of the people of Europe.”
Referring to the broad global front against this deal, which includes international jurists, American senators and congressmen, Nobel laureates, parliamentary groups from different countries, and prominent European and American figures, Mrs. Rajavi said: In the face of Iranians’ solidarity in Belgium, your campaign, and your global front, the advocates of appeasement and back-door deals have now turned the hostage-taking of Belgian citizens in Iran into a tactic against victims of terrorism. and instead of adopting a stronger stance against the executioners, they want to appease them with the victims’ blood. Pinning hope on the release of a Belgian hostage in Iran is one step forward and 100 steps back because, in the future, no one will be safe. Every European and American citizen in Iran is also a potential hostage.

In response to the regime’s extortion and blackmail in the case of Ahmadreza Jalali, the Iranian Resistance demanded that the Swedish government bring charges against 1988’s henchman Raisi for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. This demand was made public 70 days ago. The Belgian government ought to have followed suit and still ought to.
What should be done if the mullahs threaten to detonate a nuclear bomb on all of Europe’s citizens tomorrow, Mrs. Rajavi questioned? Should it bow its head and give up? Where are the lessons learned from tolerating Hitler and declaring war on him, as well as from the Holocaust and gas chambers? The Iranian people and the Iranian Resistance’s goals are to topple the regime and establish democracy and popular sovereignty in Iran. We have never asked anyone else for this and we never will.
However, since the Shah’s rule fifty years ago, we have pleaded with people not to support dictatorships because the fall of religious fascism is unavoidable. But since half a century ago, since the time of the Shah, we have been asking, and still, ask you to not be on the side of the dictatorship.
Mrs. Rajavi expressed her sincere gratitude to the judges in Belgium for their efforts in looking into the case of the terrorist diplomat of the regime and supporting his conviction. She also voiced support to the parties and lawmakers from the Belgian Parliament for their valiant opposition to the despicable treaty with the mullahs.
