Discover Maryam Rajavi’s powerful speech in Brussels honoring 60 years of the PMOI’s fight for freedom and the path to a democratic Iran.
Following the major Brussels rally, where Patrick Kennedy marched in the front ranks and addressed the crowd, Maryam Rajavi met with him for discussions.
Mr. Michel stated: From my previous positions, I have dealt with several presidents of the Iranian regime and there is no difference among them. They all follow the same line and a single policy. Therefore, the experience is clear: this regime is incapable of reform.
Rally in Brussels staged as Iranian residents increasingly in recent years accuse the regime of stifling their freedoms, particularly those of women
The blood unjustly shed of Mehran and other martyrs of the heroic people will not leave Khamenei and the regime’s leaders unscathed. The day is not far when they will be held accountable for these heinous crimes and brought before justice

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.
