According to National Council of Resistance of Iran secretariat, on Saturday, March 1, participants in an international conference in Paris on the occasion of the International Women’s Day warned of the role of the Iranian regime in spreading the Islamic fundamentalism throughout the region and the globe.

The conference was held at the presence of Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, and a great number of prominent political, social and art figures, as well as human rights and women’s rights activists from five continents and delegations representing dozens of Iranian women’s associations and organizations throughout Europe and the United States.

The speakers underscored that misogyny is one of the principal and unchangeable aspects of the Iranian regime that has only worsened in three decades. During the Presidency of Rouhani, the misogyny of the regime remains unchanged. They added that women are twofold the victims of the illusion of moderation in a regime that misogyny is intertwined with its mindset and practice. Speakers underlined that this regime is the central banker of terrorism and fundamentalism in today’s world threatening the global security and peace. They added that confronting this threat demands a firm policy not just in the nuclear negotiations, but also in face of systematic misogyny and the violation of human rights in Iran, as well as against destructive warmongering that has drenched the region in blood. In this conference beside Maryam Radjavi, other high profile female leaders gave speeches such as Canada's former Prime Minister(1993) Kim Campbell.

Mrs. Rajavi said that the ideal of equality is alive, but not just because of depravations, humiliations and oppression. Because a generation of women has arisen to overthrow dictatorships in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Ukraine, Syria and Iraq; women who are intent on toppling the religious dictatorship ruling Iran. She added: rest assured that ultimately, these oppressed women will overthrow the ruling theocracy in Iran.

She also emphasized that defending the pioneering women in Camp Liberty who in the past two decades have played a unique role in the struggle against fundamentalism is a crucial duty of the equality movements. They, along with the men fighting alongside them, are not only deprived of security and protective requirements against consecutive missile attacks, but the proxy government in Iraq has deprived them of the least humanitarian, medical and hygienic standards. She called on all activists of the women movement to call on the United Nations and the U.S. government to live up to their commitments to secure the protection of the PMOI members, in particular to put the freedom of the seven Ashraf hostages, including six women, on their agenda, and to take the file of the September 1st crime against humanity in Ashraf to the Security Council.

In Ottawa yesterday March 1st, a group of Iranian-Canadians gathered in front of the US embassy. They demanded President Obama respect his promises to the Liberty residents and protect their safety and security. The Iranians also expressed their protest toward the alarming rate of execution in Iran under Rouhani's presidency and called for End of execution in Iran.

A Senior mullah rejects Fire Festival and called it a 'bad tradition'

In the latest series of statements by the Iranian regime officials and clerics criticizing the annual fire festival, another senior cleric on Friday defined the fire festival as 'Bad tradition.'
Cleric Mohammad Saeedi, the Friday Prayer Leader in the city of Qum, was quoted by a state-run news agency as saying :'Chaharshanbeh Souri (Fire Festival) is considered as another bad and improper tradition.'

The Iranian regime has been attempting to outlaw the nation's ancient fire festival because it represents as they put it 'negative cultural behaviour' which poses a threat to the ruling dictatorship.
The population has traditionally used the event on the last Wednesday of the Iranian year to air their grievances against leaders of the clerical regime.
In recent years, security forces have been cracking down on celebration up to two months before it begins by banning firecrackers, sparklers, rockets and even home-made grenades.

The regime's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has issued a religious decree against the celebration, saying that Festival of Fire 'has no religious basis and it's harmful and must be avoided.'

Festival of Fire is a ritual leading up to the New Year on the first day of spring on March 21. To celebrate, people light up bonfires and jump over the fires singing a popular verse hoping for the deflection of the 'yellowy paleness' of last year's ills and inviting the 'red vitality' for the coming year.

The powerful symbolism of Festival of Fire injects a terrifying chill in the leaders of the clerical regime. Every year the event is coupled with chants of 'death to dictator,' serves as a potent reminder that Iranians are as resolute as ever in their arduous quest for democratic change.
