On her third day of visit to Germany, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance met Secretary General and a delegation of the “German Women Council” that includes millions of German women in that country in her residence in Berlin. Dr. Maasoumeh Bolourchi, NCRI’s representative in Germany participated in the meeting too.

Mrs. Rajavi expressed her pleasure of meeting with the German Women Delegation and discussed with them the situation of Iran, Iranian Resistance, and Ashraf City and also the determinative role of women against the Iranian religious misogynous dictatorship and said: “The regime of Velayat-e-faqih (guardianship of the religious jurist) imposes the severest cruelty and oppression against women; reciprocally, the highest capacity for struggle against the religious fascism is concentrated in the Iranian resistant women. That is why women have a leading and determinative role in the movement and the one thousand Ashraf City resistant women are the ones who have led this movement through hardest and most complicated conditions.”

Mrs. Hene Engels, Secretary General of the “German Women Council”, while welcoming Mrs. Rajavi to Germany, declared solidarity of German women with the Iranian Resistance and with one thousand resistant women of Ashraf City against religious fascism and said: ” The German Women Council sides all freedom loving Iranian women and men and supports their struggle for attaining democracy and equality. As I emphasized in parliamentary session on Nov 24 at German Federal Parliament, the opposition of a dictator regime that has been killing women, men and the youth during last 30 years could never be designated as terrorist. This Resistance is a legitimate and just resistance.”

In their meeting with Mrs. Rajavi, The German Women Council’s delegation emphasized: “We ask for removal of the PMOI from the EU terrorist list based on the rulings of the courts and believe that in order to prevent a human catastrophe, protection of Ashraf residents by the United States must continue according to the Fourth Geneva Convention and other international law.”
