This year’s annual
rally in Paris for democracy in Iran has a special difference. It comes on the
eve of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Iran’s principle democratic
opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Iranians in the huge
gathering on Saturday celebrated the 50th year of life for the pivotal force in
the coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
A group of young
Iranians at the rally went on the stage and each read out short histories of
the PMOI’s 50-year struggle against the dictatorships of the Shah and the
mullahs, and each one symbolical summed up by saying “the PMOI is in me”.
A 5-minute clip was
also broadcast highlighting the history and summarizing the 50-year struggle of
Iran’s largest opposition group against the Shah and the religious dictatorship
now in power.
