The freedom of expression that you experienced there hopefully will inspire you to express those very real wishes that you have for real change in Iran.

“I am particularly encouraged by the role women play in leading many of these protests. I think Maryam_Rajavi President-elect of NCRI, whom I have met several times, is a role model for many women who want to stand up for their rights in Iran,” she said.
“From all indications, we can see that after four decades of brutal &anti-women rule of the mullahs, change is about to come to Iran. Ppl of Iran have said it clearly: We don’t want to be ruled by these fanatics who have ruined the country in all these years!
“I therefore believe that the Grand Gathering of the Iranian opposition that will be held in Paris on 30 June, can be a turning point towards democratic change in Iran. So, I urge everyone to come to the rally to join voices in support of a free Iran.”
