July 2020—The online Free Iran Global Summit connected Iranians in 30,000 locations in Iran, Ashraf-3 in Albania, as well in more than 100 countries in five continents, in support of the Iranian people’s call to change the religious dictatorship.
Firmness is the correct policy in dealing with mullahs’ terrorism. The clerical regime conceals its fundamental illegitimacy and its medieval rule by terror at home and terrorism abroad. Iranian have called for shutting down the Iranian regime’s embassies, missions, and front entities, and to expel its agents and mercenaries in guise of journalists, businessmen and refugees.

2019 Annual Free Iran Conference
The annual ‘Free Iran’ conference of the Iranian opposition is underway today, July 13, 2019. The event was held for the first time at ‘Ashraf 3’, the headquarters of the main Iranian opposition in Albania. Hundreds of lawmakers, officials and dignitaries from around the world have flocked to Albania to join the 2019 Free Iran conference. Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi is the event’s keynote speaker.
In her remarks, former French Minister of Human Rights, Rama Yade, said: There is a new city, Ashraf 3, built here in Albania by thousands of Iranians who survived the attacks of the Iranian and Iraqi governments. Thank you to the Albanians who made it possible for the Ashrafis to have somewhere to stay, after their great sacrifices. What you have achieved here, you can achieve in Iran in one day. I am emotional when I see the Iranian Resistance’s museum at Ashraf 3 and 120,000 martyrs. Iran is a nuclear threat and a religious threat, starting from the same nature of the Iranian Regime… the MEK members have paid the price of resistance with their lives. They are supportive of Islam but are against fundamentalism and they put women at the center of their movement. 2018 was a dark year for human rights in Iran, and we should be concerned about that.

In her address to the gathering, Mrs. Rajavi pointed out, “A passionate generation thirsty for freedom has risen to take over the entire country and take back Iran from the occupiers, the mullahs. The workers at Haft-Tapeh, the steel workers, the farmers of Varzaneh, the youth in Kazerun, the truck drivers and owners all across the country, the Bazaaris, the youth in Lalehzar, Ferdowsi, Shoush, Mellat and Ekbatan in Tehran, exhibited enormous courage in confronting the ruthless security forces. This is the Iranian nation’s fight. The regime’s overthrow is inevitable. Victory is certain and Iran will be free. The prospects of an Iran devoid of the mullahs and the Shah are looming. The so-called solution within the religious fascism has become null and void. The rebellious population and youth have ended the era of posturing for both factions of the regime.”
