The leader of an Iranian opposition group says that Muslim women have an important role in ending repression against ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East.

Maryam Rajavi, the head of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) –a group that has for decades been trying to oust the hardline Islamic regime in Iran– says that engaging women in the political process in countries that repress dissent and foment extremism can help push the international community to take action.

“They must speak out. This is what the mothers can do. I believe it is time that women enter into the political arena,” speaking in an exclusive interview with Circa in Paris. “This silence and this appeasement also paved the way for its fundamentalism, terrorism and extremism.”
Tens of thousands of people, including Iranian activists, dissidents and dignitaries, are expected in Paris this weekend for the NCRI’s annual conference, which is expected to have top security in light of recent global terrorist attacks. The event is aimed at promoting human rights and democracy in Iran and condemning Tehran’s role in supporting the Assad government, which has caused the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Syrians.

Iranians of all walks of life as well as hundreds of politicians and personalities from five continents will converge in Le Bourget to declare their support for Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance and their struggle to overthrow the regime ruling Iran and establish freedom and democracy in their country.

Maryam Rajavi, a devout Muslim woman, has led the opposition to Tehran's fundamentalist regime for the past three decades. Maryam Rajavi espouses a tolerant and democratic interpretation of Islam and calls for unity of all democratic forces to confront terrorism and extremism emanating from the clerical regime in Iran, as the most dangerous threat of our time to global peace and security.
