Spring of freedom

Iran is currently ruled by a fundamentalist theocracy that justifies its malign hold over the magnificent country with a mixture of anti-Western sentiments and a false interpretation of Islam. The Iranian Regime, which for the past 40 years has been a model for fundamentalist groups to follow, is the number one source for terrorism in the Middle East and indeed the world. But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is a new, better leader for Iran who is already fighting to bring freedom and democracy to the nation. Her name is  Maryam Rajavi . Maryam Rajavi is the leader of the Iranian Resistance and she has been fighting fundamentalism in Iran since the mullahs first stole power during the 1979 revolution. Maryam Rajavi said: “The Iranian regime is the founding state for most of the atrocities and evil which fundamentalist groups have perpetrated and are perpetrating by using the mullahs’ rule as a role model… The Velayat-e faqih regime [is] the godfather of terrorism, th...

Independent judiciary; What the Iranians expect to have in a free Iran Human social evolution history tells us there is no dictator, who would not attempt to preserve its power over people through all kind of suppression, deception, and crime. In this regard, dictators the law enforcement to an oppressive organ, although they pretend that they respect an  independent judiciary . Religious dictatorship ruling Iran has deprived its own people of their basic human rights, this regime does not even respect the international human rights conventions, which it is a signatory of, let alone recognizing an independent judiciary. Thus, the Iranian people will not benefit from an independent judiciary until the mullahs are ruling, because hawks will not pick out hawks’ eyes. Therefore, exacting an independent judiciary on mullahs is an important factor to help Iranians’ struggle for achieving freedom and justice. Mullahs justify their human rights violations on the pretext of the...

INU- The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran or Mujahedin-e-Khalgh (PMOI/MEK) are the longest-standing Iranian opposition group and they have weathered many storms is their 60+ year history of opposing the violent regimes of the Shah and the mullahs, but one thing keeps them fighting hard: the idea of a free Iran. Unlike many opposition groups around the world, the MEK is ready and willing to usher in a new Iran once this regime falls; an Iran that would be democratic and free. Given that the Iranian mullahs, besieged by domestic and international pressures, will soon fall, it seems only right to look at the 10-Point political platform that was adopted by the MEK and the rest of the democratic Iranian Resistance. 1. Free and Fair Elections: The MEK believes that the ballot box is the only way to political legitimacy, so the MEK seeks universal suffrage and democratic elections. 2. Pluralism: The MEK wants a free society, with respect to all individual freedoms. This me...
