 With the escalation of armed resistance in Syria Iran added its military presence in Syria. US Secretary of state John Kerry said ISIS was created by Bashar al-Assad when he released thousands of extremist prisoners. In addition to the Quds force, the IRGC’s ground force, and the regular military as well as non-Iranian forces are involved in Syria. In February 2016, Reuters reported that Iran has increased arms shipment to Syria. Obamas nuclear deal failed to consider human rights situation in Iran. Approximately 1 billion dollars is spent on the salaries of forces affiliated with the IRGC. The assets this deal released for Iran goes to terrorist activities.
 Joan Ryan said that Iran bears the responsibility for the genocide in Syria. She also said that Iran’s belligerence in the region is also a threat to Europe.

 She also stated that Mahan air who is helping Iran to supply arms to terrorist groups should be subject to sanctions.  The UK MP said that Iran is the leading sponsor of terrorism, that they maintain a long term relationship with Al-Qaeda, that Hezbollah boasts of the funds it receives from Iran. Part of the problem with Iran is a result of failure of western policies on Iran and the Middle east. Iran is also the leading executioner of children in the world, and women face systematic discrimination. 94 Baha’ii’s are currently imprisoned on alleged national security charges. She also expressed concern of the persecution of Christians in Iran, they are being arrested, our relations with Iran must therefore be conditioned on human rights.
     

women in Iran under huge suppression

 David Amess: the core of UK foreign policy has been appeasement and let’s be frank about it, it is about oil. He also said that we must hope for a new policy on Iran by the US.

He said that it is appalling the way Iran is treating it’s citizens, killing and torturing them. He said that the UK should be working with like-minded countries to deal with Iran.  John Howell: Iran has declined to stop its support for terror organizations. Iran considers Hamas and Hezbollah as liberation organizations and does not consider them as terrorists.  The UK parliament was unanimous in the question regarding Iran, they must be considered a terrorist state and treated accordingly. May freedom and peace be in the near future for Iran and Iranians.   Amb John Bolton, who was not present in the hearing , has made it very clear that it is the clerical regime in Tehran that is the main sponsor of terrorism in the world. This statement was supported by the speakers in the hearing. 

Iran-A Message for international Women day(IWD)

Maryam Rajavi president-elect of Iranian resistance 

Meeting in UK parliament for IWD

On February 28, 2017 Mrs Maryam Rajavi , the president elect of the Iranian resistance sent a message to a meeting at the UK parliament, in occation of the international women's day
on March 8.
 the message she sent was as follows: "Women is the force for change" the following is the full text of her speech:
I sincerely appreciate your attention to the situation of women and human rights in Iran on the occasion of the 
International Women's Day.
The mullahs' aggressions in the Middle East and its nuclear and missile programs have drawn much attention. 
However, we must highlight these vital realities in Iran:
A deep political and social crisis, a society ready for change, and an organized movement in which women have an important role.
Under the clerical rule, women are systematically suppressed. 
On average 2000 women are arrested daily for not observing the forced dress code.
According to the law, women must obey their husbands; they are deprived of the right to divorce.
If they get divorced, they are deprived of the care of their children.
When it comes to the regime’s Penal Code: women's rights is half of men's.
Although women make up a large work-force, they only take 14 percent of the job market. 
In September 2016 the mullahs' supreme leader- Khamenei in a declaration announced that women's role is being a mother and a housewife while men's role is fatherhood and economic. 
He also called for enforced government policies to increase birth rate.
In fact, by repressing women, the mullahs enslave the whole society.
On the other hand, however, Iranian women play a significant role in the Iranian people’s resistance against this religious tyranny.
