On the eve of the trip to Paris by the mullahs' president Hassan Rouhani, a week of campaigning will begin on Sunday, January 24 in protest to the wave of executions in Iran and Tehran’s export of terrorism and extremism and their support for Bashar al-Assad in the massacre of the people of Syria.
The campaigning will come to a climax on January 28 when there will be a major rally by Iranians and their international supporters as well as French citizens.
Several French Parliamentary committees comprised of members of the National Assembly and Senate, and Parliamentary committees from other European countries, dozens of NGOs including France-Libertés, several French student unions and University professors unions and more than 300 Iranian associations from across Europe are sponsoring or supporting the call to rally on January 28.
Simultaneously, there will be an extensive internet campaign highlighting the various aspects of the situation in Iran, with particular focus on Rouhani's near-3-year record.
Events set to take place during the week-long campaign will include:
January 24 – Declaration by French mayors condemning human rights violations in Iran and supporting the Iranian Resistance
