Iran: The Path to Democracy

Baroness Redfern expressed her profound solidarity with the “very brave Iranian people” and political prisoners who risk their lives to resist repression and demand democracy. She emphasized that through the networks and Resistance Units of the NCRI and PMOI, these individuals are assured they are not alone, despite pervasive censorship and internet shutdowns. Baroness Redfern advocated for a decisive shift in UK policy, specifically urging the government to proscribe the IRGC, a move she described as a “long overdue” and significant strike against the regime’s machinery of repression. Central to her vision is the NCRI’s Ten-Point Plan, which offers a provisional framework for a democratic transition grounded in popular sovereignty and remains strictly “free from foreign intervention”. She argued that the January uprising clearly signaled the Iranian people’s rejection of both the current regime and any return to dictatorship. To achieve lasting stability, Redfern called for an immediate end to executions, the protection of detained protesters, and the inclusion of a non-nuclear Iran in any international agreements. Ultimately, she urged the UK to stand firmly with this organized democratic alternative.


Lord Steve McCabe delivered a resonant address advocating for the NCRI’s provisional government and the Ten-Point Plan to bring democracy, secular governance, and the abolition of the death penalty. He highlighted the “worrying and difficult time” for the Iranian people, noting that while external military action carries risks of civilian injury, the regime has used the threat of war to “crack down on dissent.” Lord McCabe honored the “heroic resistance members” recently executed, specifically naming Hamid Vahidi and Nima Shahi. He emphasized that the Ten-Point Plan is a way to “bring about meaningful change” and a “peaceful transfer of power” led by the Iranian people themselves. He concluded by calling on the UK government to “speak out loudly against these executions” and to finally fulfill the promise to “totally ban” the IRGC.

What Is Freedom?

iran news: Freedom is the most precious jewel in the world—the rarest and most priceless crimson diamond in the treasure chest of human existence and the history of nations. It is the essence of progress and the defining feature of human identity. For the story of humankind is, at its heart, the conscious and often tumultuous journey from the realm of compulsion and necessity to the realm of choice and liberty. But this crimson diamond of freedom is not handed out freely . It must be earned—through struggle and sacrifice, through pain and perseverance, through love, truth, and an unwavering commitment to justice. After a Century of Struggle for Freedom, Where Do We Stand? I want to emphasize a vital truth: we are closer to freedom now than ever before. Our resistance movement—the proud legacy and lifeblood of our nation's dignity—has proven, more powerfully and brilliantly than ever, our people's worthiness of freedom. Today, freedom is no longer a distant, unreachable dream. W...

iran news: On October 10, 2025, the global community marks the 23rd World Day Against the Death Penalty , spotlighting a surge in executions led by Iran, where authorities have carried out at least 1,105 this year, surpassing three-decade highs and often targeting women, ethnic minorities, and dissidents for non-violent offenses.  The United Nations and Amnesty International emphasize that capital punishment does not deter crime or serve victims, while the European Union and rights groups like the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty call for moratoriums and universal abolition .

Maryam Rajavi said at this conference: On this World Day Against the Death Penalty, I pay tribute to all those who were executed for their struggle for freedom. On this day, the world’s ...

The power and sovereignty belongs to the Iranian people’s republic

Image
  Mike Pompeo: Iran's democratic opposition is ready to step up and lead. Former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich: The National Council of Resistance of Iran , an anti-Iranian regime group, announced on Saturday a "provisional government to transfer sovereignty" to the Iranian people and establish a Democratic Republic after the United States and Israel launched strikes against the regime. Rudy Giuliani: What Reza Pahlavi is attempting to do—by declaring himself Iran's "transitional leader"—is dangerous and will only destabilize the situation further. Pahlavi has next to no support inside the country, as he is literally the son of the man who was overthrown by the Iranian people after years of brutality, theft and oppressive rule. The Iranian people will not resort back to a tyrannical monarchy after freeing themselves of a tyrannical Islamic regime. This would be a formula for disaster.
