Friends of a free Iran committees in Sweden, Norway and Denmark including members of parliaments and political personalities, in separate letters to the current head of the rotating EU presidency, Portuguese prime minister Jose Socrates, supported terrorist designation of the Islamic revolutionary guards corps (IRGC) and sanctions imposed on it by the United States and asked the European Union to take the same policy.

In its letter, the Committee of Swedish Friends for a Free Iran, headed by Lenart Friden, former member of Swedish Parliament, welcomed the US designation and imposing decisive sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps(IRGC) and its affiliated organs including Quds Force and a number of Iranian banks and individuals which are considered by the US as proliferators of the nuclear weapons and also activists in terrorist affairs.

This Committee called the measure a serious step on the correct path which prevents the export of Iranian-type fundamentalism to the Middle East and Iraq.

The Committee of Friends of a Free Iran added: It is time to revise the European Parliament’s appeasement policy towards the mullahs ruling Iran, and instead, the Iranian democratic opposition be acknowledged and supported which undoubtedly deserves it.

“Committee of Danish Friends for a Free Iran” headed by Hans Christian Nirescov, chairman of “Sakharov International Committee “, addressing Mr. Jose Socrates, expressed concern about the suppression of Iranian students’ protest and wrote: It is clear for us that the IRGC is responsible for these suppressions.

We support the democratic change in Iran by the Iranian people and Resistance and ask all the European Union’s governments to adopt decisive and firm measures against the IRGC.

“Committee of Norwegian Friends for a Free Iran ” headed by Lars Rise, former Norwegian MP, welcomed the adopted decision to designate IRGC and the Quds Force and other regime’s entities in the black list and wrote: Mrs. Rajavi who has been elected by the National Council of Resistance of Iran as the President for transitional period after the mullahs’ regime’s overthrow has asserted: This is a clear testimony and necessary prelude to the democratic change in Iran.
