Urgent Appeal to Save Maryam Rajavi

Dear Freedom loving women,

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, leader of the Iranian Resistance movement, was arrested on June 17 and detained since, in a savage raid by the French Police on her residential quarters in Auvers-sur-Oise, a suburb of Paris.

Various media reports have described Mrs. Rajavi “the hope of Iranian people for freedom,” “symbol of national unity and solidarity”, and “the antithesis to the fundamentalist regime in Tehran.” Times named her among 100 powerful women of the world and her theories on women’s equality and women’s rights in Islam are being taught in some of the best universities in the United States. Her services and initiatives in the field of women’s equality and freedom, are well-known for women’s rights activists.

Mrs. Rajavi began her activities under the Shah’s regime when her brother was imprisoned. The Shah’s SAVAK executed one of her sisters and the Khomeini regime executed another of her sisters while she was pregnant.

After the mullahs seized power, she became a leader of the opposition movement. In 1983, she received political asylum from France. She has a 20-year-old daughter.

Mrs. Rajavi’s presence in France was legal and under the protection and oversight of the French Police 24-hours a day. There are no reasons to justify this unlawful measure by the Government of France, other than to say that it is the product of a deal with the Iranian regime.

So far, ten freedom-loving Iranians have set themselves on fire to show their protest. Two women have already died as a result of their burn injuries.

The International Committee to save Maryam Rajavi urges you to protest this unjust, unlawful and abominable measure by the Government of France.

It is necessary that you act quickly, because the mullahs’ president, Mohammad Khatami, has demanded that she be extradited to Iran. In that case, or in any case other than unconditional release (i.e. deportation to other countries, etc.) Mrs. Rajavi’s life will be serious jeopardy.

As freedom-loving women, we urge you to take action to help save the life of the leader of the Iranian Resistance movement. Write to President Chirac and other relevant authorities in France and voice your protest.

Price of Freedom
Maryam Rajavi's March 2001 International Women's Day Interview with Sarvnaz Chitsaz

Maryam Rajavi represents, for millions of Iranian women, far more than her official title of "President-elect of the Iranian Resistance." In a country where the ruling regime denies women their human identity and seeks to legitimize its misogynous policies in the name of Islam, the leading role of a Muslim woman with a long record of struggle for freedom inspires much hope in women being crushed under the weight of mullahs’ gender apartheid.

As the nemesis of clerical rulers who see women as the embodiment of sin, Maryam Rajavi heads a movement that has seen women rise to the highest echelons of political leadership and military command. She is thus the most authoritative source to talk about the experiences and the achievements of this resistance movement in the field of women’s rights and freedom.

On the occasion of the International Women’s Day in 2001, Sarvnaz Chitsaz, the Women's Committee Chair, met with Maryam Rajavi and put to her, a wide range of questions and topics of concern to women, particularly women in Iran. An abridged version of the 5 hour interview is available at the following links:

Maryam Rajavi’s message for International Women’s Day

Freedom-loving women, my dear sisters in Iran and around the world,

My greetings to all of you, wherever you are in the world, on the International Women's Day.

The International Women's Day is the day to honor and praise the struggle of women for freedom from oppression and gender discrimination. This oppression not only violates the human and social rights of women, but also alienates the entire society, both men and women.

For nearly a century, it has been emphasized that the rights and freedoms of women in a given society is a measure of its progress.

But we now live in a world where women's equality and putting an end to gender discrimination have become a pressing necessity.

The resolutions and declarations of the United Nations and other international bodies constantly remind the world that the fundamental problems of development, peace and democracy everywhere cannot be resolved without addressing the question of gender equality. The UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women was a response to this need.

This international convention has been ratified so far by One Hundred and Sixty-eight countries, including more than 40 Islamic states, but the mullahs' regime in Iran has rejected it and actively opposed it in most international conferences, including Women's Fourth World Conference in Beijing in 1995.

Khomeini, who founded this fundamentalist dictatorship, used to tell the mullahs: "Show your contempt against equal rights for women." He claimed that women's equality was in violation of Islamic precepts.

And mullahs like Khatami are the disciples of Khomeini. That is why the women in Iran have never had any illusions about Khatami's claims of being a moderate. The women of Iran have felt the mullahs' oppression with their flesh and blood, and with their soul and spirit.

Gender apartheid is the most fundamental cornerstone of the mullahs' reactionary ideology. That's why the mullahs cannot play political games with this issue. If progress in societies is inevitably linked to the removal of gender oppression, then preserving a reactionary, medieval regime must depend on the full enforcement of gender apartheid.

The mullahs' regime has committed atrocities against women that no other dictatorship has done. Tens of thousands of women, including teenagers, grandmothers and pregnant women, have been executed. The use of savage torture and rape of women political prisoners has been systematic and unprecedented.

Last December, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the worsening violation of human rights in Iran, the rise in executions and the inhuman punishments carried out in public. That resolution was a clear international verdict on the failure of mullahs' ploys and false claims of moderation.

The UN Special Representative has described Iran as a "prison for women." But what is life really like for women in mullahs' inferno?

Let me cite just one report out of the many that we constantly receive from Iran. A thirteen-year-old girl in the western town of Kamyaran left a suicide note before burning herself to death with kerosene. She said she could no longer put up with life after her addicted father sold her to a Guards officer of the mullahs' regime in return for some opium.

Let's have a look at some of the reports that have appeared in the mullahs' own press:

• Iran under the mullahs holds the world record for suicide rates among women. Women who commit suicide outnumber men three to one.
• There are addicts in every girls school.
• Drug addiction has become so widespread in universities that families are afraid of sending their daughters to universities.
• The number of girls who ran away from their homes jumped by 20 percent last year.
• Out of 900 runaway girls in Tehran last year, 30 were murdered
• Abducted girls are used for drug trafficking, theft, and prostitution and even their organs such as kidneys are removed and sold.

The misogynous mullahs have destroyed all the norms of social behavior towards women. They have legalized the ugliest forms of violence and cruelty against women. In a typical case, the press reported last June that a man who was suspicious of his wife called the police to his home and stabbed his wife to death in front of them. Under the mullahs, it's open season on women, because the murderers and criminals know that they can go unpunished.

The mullahs pass oppressive laws against women, encourage maltreatment of women, and cultivate violence and abuse of women, in a bid to strengthen their own rule. All the abuse, arrests, flogging and executions have one aim: to keep the bloodthirsty mullahs in power.

Today in Iran, nurses are on strike. Teachers, many of them women, have been demonstrating and protesting for weeks. Women workers face layoffs and don't get their wages.

The way to end this endless cycle of suppression and brutality is to overthrow the mullahs' inhuman regime. And Iranian women are at the forefront of this struggle. They have suffered most under the mullahs, but they are also the biggest source of revolutionary potential to end the mullahs' oppression.

The women of Iran have never succumbed to the mullahs' brutal rule. Their resistance has grown constantly, from the uprising by women in the slums of South Tehran to the protests by women farmers in northern Iran and strikes by women workers and teachers across the country. Wherever there is an uprising or protest, women are playing a major, and sometimes decisive role.

But the most important indicator of the role being played by Iranian women in the great struggle for liberation is embodied in the women in the Iranian Resistance. These women have taken up the heavy burden of responsibility in every aspect of the organized resistance movement, including command and leadership positions. They have smashed the stereotypes of women as weak and powerless creatures. They are the ones who have opened up a new chapter in the history of women's liberation.

The twenty-first century is the century for freedom of women and the end of discrimination. It is the century of establishment of peace, prosperity and democracy. Yet, the mullahs and fundamentalists who belong to the dark ages, want to turn history backward with their misogyny. They don't realize that they will be uprooted from the face of the Earth by free and liberated women.

This is the historic mission of the free women of our time. A mission without which the human civilization will be threatened by the forces of reaction. The antithesis for the misogynous fundamentalists are the free women who rise up and fight against them. They will achieve women's liberation and the emancipation of humanity. This is the dawn of the greatest revolution in human history. We must welcome this with great joy.

My dears sisters,
History has heard the voice of the oppressed. Victory will be ours.

I salute you once again and congratulate all of you on the occasion of the International Women's Day.

A brief biography of Maryam Rajavi

Maryam Rajavi was born in 1953 to a middle class family in Tehran. She earned a degree in metallurgical engineering, joined the anti-shah movement in the early 1970s.

Mrs. Rajavi ran for the 1980 parliamentary elections in Tehran and despite widespread rigging, she received some quarter of a million votes. After the beginning of the Iranian Resistance against the mullahs' rule, her sister was arrested and tortured to death. Revolutionary Guards raided her own residences several times, but she managed to survive these encounters until 1983, when she left for Paris, where the movement's political headquarters was based.

In 1989, Mrs. Rajavi was elected Secretary General of the People's Mojahedin of Iran, and in August 1993, in light of her impact on the progress of the Iranian Resistance movement, she was elected as Iran's future President for the transitional period after the overthrow of the mullahs' regime in Iran by the broad-based coalition of democratic Iranian forces, the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Mrs. Rajavi resigned from all her previous posts in the Mojahedin and the National Liberation Army, to lead the Resistance's international campaign against Iran's ruling fundamentalists and symbolize national solidarity among Iranians.

"In this new capacity," she said, "my most important responsibility is to create and promote national solidarity. My first task is to give the Iranian people back their hope... I want to give them the hope that, united together, we can overcome the darkness, hopelessness and death that have enveloped our country."

A Washington Times columnist described her as the source of hope "into which the long-suffering modern and liberal Iranians can read all kinds of hopes."
On June 16, 1995, in a speech about freedom, Mrs. Rajavi said: "Love of freedom is the driving force of our Resistance movement. Without it, we could not have stood firm against the ruling dictatorship." She vowed, "With all my might and to my last breath, I will defend every single right and democratic demand of the Iranian people. Nothing can keep me from this task."

In this same event, Mrs. Rajavi announced her 16-point "charter of fundamental freedoms for future Iran," in which she emphasized the Iranian Resistance's commitment to the freedom of speech, opinion, the press, parties and political associations. She reiterated that the ballot box will be the only criterion for the legitimacy of the government. She reaffirmed the absolute equality of women's political, social, cultural and economic rights. Her charter stipulated that a free market economy, private ownership and investments will be guaranteed in future Iran. She also reaffirmed the Resistance's commitment to peace, good neighborly relations and regional and international cooperation in foreign policy.

In a speech in London in June 1996 before a crowd of 25,000 supporters, Mrs. Rajavi called for the formation of an international front against fundamentalism, offering a modern and tolerant interpretation of Islam and rejecting Tehran's export of terrorism.

Today, Mrs. Rajavi is internationally acclaimed as the leader of the only viable alternative to Iran's fundamentalist rulers. Since 1995, the majority of members of parliament in Italy, Norway, Belgium, Sweden, United States as well as a large number of members of European Parliament have declared support for Mrs. Maryam Rajavi as an advocate of democracy.

20,000 rights activists, MPs and 158 groups from 48 countries endorsed a statement in March 2002, declaring their support for "the Iranian women's struggle for freedom and equality, led by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi." The statement says, "Under the leadership of Maryam Rajavi, a Muslim, antifundamentalist woman, the Iranian resistance has drawn a decisive distinction between Islam -- as a religion of peace, friendship and fraternity -- and fundamentalism and misogyny."

Maryam Rajavi Calls On Supporters Not To Set Themselves On Fire

French police attacked the headquarters of National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) near Paris in early hours of Tuesday June 17, 2003, and arrested more than 160 people.

Among those detained was Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. Nine people were released immediately, while 159 were detained.

NCRI official, Ali Safavi, condemned this raid by French police, and called this act as "illegal and morally and politically unjustifiable."

The NCRI said the Paris detainees had begun a hunger strike.

The Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran lauds the prominent role and extensive presence of women in demonstrations and protests in Iran in recent days and calls on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, Chairperson of the European Parliament's Committee on Women's Rights and Equal Opportunities, ministers of women's affairs in EU member states and international women's rights organizations to take urgent action to save the lives of the women arrested during these demonstrations.

In demonstrations today and yesterday in downtown Tehran, a large number of women and girl students have been injured or arrested as a result of brutal assaults by Revolutionary Guards and security forces. Women and girls led a crowd of demonstrators today in Enghelab Avenue, Enghelab Square and Karegar Shomali Street, chanting "down with dictatorship," "free all political prisoners," and "join our protest." They clashed with State Security Forces and plainclothes agents, bravely repulsing their attacks. At least ten women were arrested and their fate remains unknown. Read Full Report =>

They raided to take your green leaves off, Against the flow of savage winds,
I give my spirit to protect you, I give my spirit to protect you.
~ From a poem by Neda Hassani

Neda Hassani was from Ottawa, an honours student at Brookfield High School and studied computer science at Carleton. But though she grew up in Canada from a young age, she was driven by a fierce desire to overthrow Iran's clerical dictatorship, the regime that had executed a favourite uncle.

Hassani set herself on fire in front of the French Embassy in London, England to protest to arrest of Maryam Rajavi and other members of the Mujahedeen. Neda died on Monday at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. She was the second person to die in the current wave of protests.

The French government arrested Rajavi along with about 165 supporters last week, accusing her of plotting "terrorist" attacks against the government of Iran. The People's Mujahedeen of Iran (also known as Mojahedin e-Khalq) has fought an armed campaign for the past 20 years to overthrow the religious rulers of Iran.

Neda's mother, Froogh Hassani, accused the government of France of selling out the Iranian people to nurture its oil and business ties with Iran. France and Iran have close ties. French President Jacques Chirac's government has declared the mujahedeen to be a terrorist group, although it's been based in a Paris suburb since the early 1980s.

URGENT ACTION:

Condemn human rights violations in Iran

Dear Colleagues

In recent weeks a women, identified as Azam, was sentenced by a court in Southern Iran to have both her eyes gouged out in public after throwing acid powder at a man who wanted to rape her at gunpoint and blinded him. Just in the past week 11 people were executed in Tehran’s Azadi (freedom) Square. Stoning has become a common form of punishment in Iran.

In the up coming week four women are to be stoned and two others are to be executed.

Concurrent with these abominable crimes, the United Nations General Assembly is going to study the issue of human rights situation in Iran and decide on adoption of a resolution condemning the regime or turning a blind eye over what is happening.

The Iranian regime is making its utmost efforts to influence the European Union by promises of economic opportunities.

As concerned individuals about human rights, specially women’s rights, I would like to ask you to write a letter to head’s of European Union and ask them to condemn human rights violations in Iran by tabling the censure resolution of human rights in Iran.

I am sending you a draft letter for your observation, please inform me of your humanitarian efforts in this regards by contacting Behjat@AIWUSA.org

Sincerely yours,

Behjat Dehghan
President, Association of Iranian Women-US


Draft letter – please write with your own words .

Ambassador K. Erik Tygesen,
Royal Danish Embassy
3200 Whitehaven Street, N.W.
Washington DC, 20008

His Excellency K. Erik Tygesen,

As we are approaching the debate on human rights at the Third Committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations, I would like to draw your attention to the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran. I am particularly concerned about the systematic suppression of women in Iran. As a professor of women studies I have followed women and human rights situation in Iran for several years.

Since the last session of the Human Rights Commission in Geneva, more people have been hanged in public. Last year for the first time the Iranian regime televised a public hanging. Last week they invited reporters to two public execution session. In recent months hundreds if not thousands have been flogged in public. More women have been stoned to death or awaiting their sentence by stoning.

Systematic legal discrimination continues to be implemented against women of Iran. Women are legally the inferior sex, whose testimony is worth half of the testimony of man. They inherit half of men. Women are banned from becoming a president or judge, simply because they are considered to have a smaller brain ant not to be fit to make important decisions. The legal age for marriage for girls is less than 9 years.

In September of this year, 23 NGO's with consultative status at the United Nations, issued a statement expressing deep concern over the increase number of executions and other violations committed by the regime.

It was disturbing that the Iranian regime managed to evade condemnation at the Human Rights Commission last April, by political and economic deals with some other members of the Commission. While the composition of the Commission might have made it possible for the Iranian regime to trade over human rights, that should not happen in the third Committee of the General Assembly.

Democratic countries have an obligation in this respect. For several years the European Union has been the leading entity to submit a resolution on human rights situation in Iran, both in the Human Rights commission and the Third Committee. There is no justification for not submitting a resolution this year at the Third Committee. Indeed advocates of human rights, women activist and freedom loving people of the world expect that under your presidency of the EU, a strong resolution be submitted to the Third Committee that reflect the real human rights situation in Iran.

I, therefore, urge you to do your utmost to table a strong resolution to the Third Committee, condemning ongoing human rights abuses in Iran, including executions of political dissidents and public executions, systematic torture of political prisoners, suppression of women and other cruel and degrading punishments such as stoning, amputation and etc.

Please keep me posted on the latest development concerning the status of introducing the Human Right resolution on Iran. I am more than happy to help you if you need more information. So please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Sample letter to President Chirac of France

Dear President Chirac:

I am writing to you about a matter of urgent international concern. One is the June 17 arrest and detention of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, leader of the Iranian Resistance movement. Mrs. Rajavi has lawfully lived in France since 1983 and the recent arrest of Mrs. Rajavi and many of her colleagues is believed to be the result of a deal France has made with Iran.

Iran is still a place where blatant discrimination against women and violent oppression still occurs with alarming regularity. Capital punishment, often in the form of stoning is still practiced, and people receive floggings and torture as punishments.

It is vital that people be able to continue their activists efforts from outside to fight these atrocities and human rights violations. Mrs. Rajavi represented both hope and agency for social change for many.

I urge you to take responsibility and leadership to expedite the release Maryam Rajavi. She is the most qualified person to continue the fight for human rights in her country of origin.
