The British Member of Parliament assassinated yesterday in a terrorist attack was a staunch supporter of the PMOI/MEK or the Iranian pro-democracy resistance. A statement from the National Council of Resistance in Iran, the MEK’s offshore political arm, is below.
Please find attached the statement by the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom following the passing of its co-chairman, Sir David Amess MP, after being stabbed in a constituency meeting in Leigh-on-Sea.
As an MP, Sir David Amess had supported the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) and National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) for well over three decades.
He was one of 35 MPs and members of the House of Lords whose appeal to the UK’s Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission (POAC) led to the de-proscription of the PMOI.
Sir David was a constant presence at the Iranian Resistance’s annual Free Iran summits.
Speaking at the 2018 Free Iran rally, Sir David said:
“The Iranian resistance is expanding its activities inside the country. Internationally, it has emerged as the only democratic alternative to the theocratic regime…today we do not want to talk about the condemnation of the mullahs’ crimes. We want to talk about regime change which is at long last within our grasp. We want to talk about a future Iran with Maryam Rajavi’s 10-point plan.”
“In our country, we enjoy freedom. We want the Iranian people to enjoy the same freedoms that we do. We have a very large number of Brits here to join you in this cry for freedom. We stand united with each and every one of you in this battle. Your protests are shaking the theocracy to its core.”

He travelled to Paris to meet Iranian opposition President-elect Maryam Rajavi on numerous occasions including in March 2005, March 2006, March 2012 and July 2018.
Sir David Amess also spoke out against Ebrahim Raisi’s crimes against humanity and role in the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners during the Free Iran World Summit in July 2021:

This man supported BLM, apparently admired George Floyd the professional criminal and backed Israel all the way. Instead of mourning him, I for one applaud the guy who offed him. Good job!Keep on trucking, say I.
