While condemning the presence of the Mullah Rouhani in U.N. General Assembly, Tom Ridge, the first US homeland security secretary as he explained the reason of his presence in the N.Y. demonstration, said: Several years ago, United Nations and United State of America had given specific commitments and promises to the residents of camp Ashraf and Liberty to protect and guarantee their safety. year after year these commitments were disregarded. This is the violation of human rights charter and the violation of the values that America stands for it. I came here to say that America and United Nations should keep their promises. The safety of these residents must be guaranteed.
He said: I am here to tell to the liberty residents how proud I am about their sacrifice, courage and tireless morality. When Iran modern history is written, they are going to write about Maryam Rajavi. Iran is a rich country that deserve another leader, historian will write that for freedom of Iran, you sacrificed. This is the foundation of Iran’s future.
Former homeland security secretary said: Iran regime is the heart of terrorism in the Middle East. It is not surprising that the majority of Americans see the nuclear deal as a bad deal.
Tom Ridge at the end said: I say to the young people who gathered here that you are the future of Iran. You are the future of Iran’s hope.
