Majority of Italian MPs support Maryam Rajavi’s plan for future Iran

 A majority of Italian lawmakers have announced their support for the goals of the Iranian Resistance and the 10-point plan of Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi for a future free Iran.

More than 300 members of the Chamber of Deputies (Camera dei Deputati), the lower house of the Italy’s Parliament, have signed a statement calling on the Italian government, European Union member states, the United States and the United Nations Security Council to “strongly condemn” executions and other flagrant human rights abuses by the Iranian regime and to “guarantee” the safety and security of members of the main Iranian opposition group People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) who are currently in Camp Libertyin Iraq.

The Italian lawmakers further called for the expulsion of the Iranian regime's Revolutionary Guards and other mercenaries from the countries in the region, in particular Syria and Iraq. The text warned that the Iranian regime's meddling in Syria has reached an “unprecedented level” and that its forces are continuously massacring the Syrian people. "The actions of the Iranian regime in the region have given the greatest assistance and paved the way for the rise of ISIS (Daesh, Islamic State, ISIL)," it added.

The statement also called on the “EU, U.S. and world leaders to support Mrs. Maryam Rajavi's 10-point plan for the future of Iran which seeks the establishment of a secular republic with free elections, gender equality in all fields, prohibition on any discrimination, abolition of the death penalty, and peaceful coexistence with countries in the region and the world.”

Among the 319 signatories of the statement, which was unveiled earlier this month, are 11 deputy ministers, nine members of the Parliament's steering committee, five committee chairmen, 19 committee vice-chairs and several former Ministers.
