140 Belgian Parliamentarians has issued a solidarity statement expressing their support Iranian People’s Demands for Democratic Change and the Iranian Diaspora’s annual Paris convention, organized on June 30th.
I am happy to announce the joint statement by 140 parliamentarians in Belgium in support of the current protests, strikes and uprising for a democratic change in Iran. The signatories are from major political parties from the Federal parliament, regional parliaments, European Parliament and the senate.
The uprising which began on 28 December and continued for several weeks, shook Iran. The nationwide protests covered all 31 provinces of Iran and 142 cities.
The parliamentarians stated: “The people of Iran, especially the younger generation, have made it clear that they are fed up with Islamic fundamentalist rule and want a regime change. Many chanted ‘down with the dictator,’ ‘down with Khamenei’ and ‘down with Rouhani.’ Women played an active role in the protests.”
Many protesters have already died in custody under torture. The top leaders of the regime have confessed to the role of the main opposition, PMOI (MEK) in leading the protests.
In May, anti-government protests in city of Kazerun were brutally repressed by the regime, leaving at least 4 dead and hundreds wounded, with many arrests.
In recent weeks Truck drivers have been on an unprecedented nationwide strike all over Iran.
Last week the regime raided the homes of Steel workers in city of Ahvaz who have been protesting for unpaid wages. Workers and teachers’ protests have been going on in many Iranian cities in recent weeks.
