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.
Rajavi has a well-publicised 10-point plan for the future of Iran which includes separating religion and state, equal rights for women, and abandoning plans to build a nuclear weapon.
Mr. Rampelli added, “I am always deeply affected by the repression of Iran’s youth. Iran is too beautiful to be in the hands of murderers. The courage of Iranian youth is admirable, and the list of your martyrs clearly reflects this truth.
She added that the regime’s hysterical and widespread propaganda against your movement reflects its fear of your capabilities and influence within Iranian society.
Mr. Stephen Rapp condemned the execution of PMOI members Behrouz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, offered his condolences to Mrs. Rajavi and the Iranian Resistance, and stressed the need for the international community not to leave such crimes unanswered.
One of the most horrific instances of human rights violations by the Iranian regime is the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988.

The other side of the coin of human rights violations in Iran is the export of terrorism, warmongering, and pursuit of nuclear weapons.https://t.co/ol6w2QtL5v pic.twitter.com/CwOQRXkhB8

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.
