<<Paris rally calls for Iran's Revolutionary Guards to be listed as a 'terror' group
Thousands of Europe-based Iranians, including relatives of victims of repression in the Islamic republic, lawmakers and campaigners, on Saturday urged the EU at a rally in Paris to list Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a <terror> group. Speakers at the rally at Place Vauban in the heart of the French capital insisted that such a listing for the Guards was the biggest contribution EU ministers could make to help the protest movement that erupted in September. The demonstrators chanted the slogan of the protest movement <Woman. Life. Freedom> and one of its anthems the song <Bella Ciao> as well as slogans against the Islamic republic. <The main goal is to make EU ministers finally hear the voices of the Iranians,> Swedish MP Alireza Akhondi, a prominent voice in the campaign, told AFP on the sidelines of the rally before giving an impassioned speech in Persian. <We want to the Revolutionary Guards to be labelled as a terror group. It is the key point,> he said, saying he was <disappointed> with progress so far. The protesters also urged European countries to cut economic ties with Iran over the crackdown on the protest movement, brandishing the slogan <your economic interests shed the blood of our innocent youth> against the background of EU, French and German flags. 'Proud of you'
Prominent French Green MP Yannick Jadot told the crowds there should be <no European ambassadors in Tehran> and that the <Revolutionary Guards are terrorists and should be listed as such.>

<<1979 Revolution: Iranian women take a stride forward
The anniversary of the 1979 Revolution which toppled the Shah's monarchic regime in Iran, is a reminder of Iranian women's extensive role and impact in that era which is considered a leap forward in the history of the struggles of Iranian women. The widespread partici-pation of Iranian women in recent uprisings is reminiscent of their role during the 1979 revolution against the monarchic dictatorship in Iran. The current uprising and the leading role of women in it, is a continuation of their participation in 1979 Revolution and in fact prior to that. Iranian and Western historians who have studied the social and political developments in Iran during the past 150 years attest that the patriarchal historians have often overlooked Iranian women's heroism, registering and documenting very little. In fact, the very little that has been registered is what dictators or miso-gynist history have been unable to erase or distort. But even this much speaks volumes about the trailblazing role women have played in Iranian politics, art, and science since the Constitutional Revolution in 1906 and despite various injustices, restrictions and obstacles they faced. The most important indicator of the impact of women as a force of change in any social movement in Iran or elsewhere has been their willingness to be present in the scene and pay a high price including their lives. It is from this standpoint that we look at the anti-dictatorial 1979 Revolution in Iran and the impressive role women played in it. And without a double, that role was influenced by the presence of progressive women in the Mojahedin (PMOI/MEK) and the Fedayeen movements and the social activities of mothers of political prisoners and execution victims of the Shah regime during the 1970s.>>

<<Iranian women defy four decades of religious dictatorship
Iranian women defy four decades of religious dictatorship. The 1979 revolution in Iran was one of the most magnificent popular move-ments in the history of liberation movements that ended the dictatorship of the Pahlavi monarchs. With the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the people of Iran, especially the Iranian women, sought to enjoy their human rights and freedoms to establish a new society. But Khomeini usurped the leadership of the revolution and deviated its goals. Only a week after the 1979 Revolution, Khomeini began his onslaught on women's freedoms with a clampdown on women's rights. Gender discrimination and misogyny are the ideological essence of the regime founded by Khomeini. Khomeini revealed his intention in response to a female reporter. When she asked him what the role of women in an Islamic government would be, he said it was not the time to talk about that issue. Soon after the 1979 Revolution, Khomeini revealed his true colors.>>
