Ms. Roberta Metsola
President of the European Parliament

The Left Party of Iran expresses its deep and sincere gratitude for the adoption of the recent European Parliament resolution on Iran. In this resolution, the violent repression of the people of Iran, especially civil activists, protesters, women, and minorities, has been clearly condemned by a significant majority.

This decision by the European Parliament, along with your clear message, is not only a principled stance in defence of human rights but also an encouraging and hopeful message for the people of Iran. It illustrates that their voices have overcome censorship and repression, and that their legitimate demands against authoritarianism, in pursuit of freedom and democracy, are being heard and supported on the international stage.

We are particularly and sincerely grateful for the European Parliament members’ support for the popular movement in Iran and for their firm call for the immediate release of all political prisoners, including Ms. Narges Mohammadi. The clear condemnation of the violence inflicted upon the people of Iran is an important and meaningful step towards safeguarding universal human rights values.

At the same time, we emphasize that while we seek support for the democratic demands of the Iranian people, we consider any form of foreign intervention, whether military or non-military, to be detrimental to the process of achieving democracy in Iran. Historical experience has shown that democracy becomes lasting and truly guarantees freedom for all only when it is built by the will and hands of the people themselves. It is solely through the free will of citizens, broad participation, and reliance on the internal capacities of society that democracy can be achieved.

Undoubtedly, the support of the international community for the fundamental rights of the people of Iran, within the framework of respect for national independence and the right to self-determination, can serve as a strong, effective, and hopeful backing for the people’s movement for freedom.

Respectfully,
Political-Executive Board of the Left Party of Iran
