Letter to the Great People of Iran “Together for the boycott of presidential elections and a non-violent transition from the Islamic Republic to a government of the people, by the people, for the people”

June 2021 

Open Letter to the Great People of Iran

“Together for the boycott of presidential elections and a non-violent transition from the Islamic Republic to a government of the people, by the people, for the people”

 

Dear Compatriots,

We, the signatories of this letter represent a cross-section of Iran with different, political opinions, religions and beliefs, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and from various cities and localities throughout our country, just like you, millions of Iranian citizens, we have been victims of brutal treatments and mismanagement of the Islamic Republic leadership, Ali Khamenei and his regime’s Constitution for the past 42 years.

We, humbly and kindly, ask you, our dear compatriots, together (Hamava) as a National Secular Democratic Coalition Movement to boycott the election of the Islamic Republic of Iran in June 2021 (Khordad 1400) in the name of Iran’s national interests, and in favor of a non-violent transition from Velayat-e Faghih and its Constitution to a Secular Democratic Constitution based on the values of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Today’s world, in the past 42 years, international community has seen several mass protests of the Iranian people against the Islamic regime, in all of which people had been brutally suppressed resulting in thousands of death and imprisonments. Particularly in the last 12 years, the world has witnessed and experienced the Will of “WE” the Iranian people in opposing this religious kleptocratic regime of the Islamic Republic (Velayat-e-Faqih – Ali Khamenei and its Constitution) and our aspiration for a secular democratic Constitution.

The International community must understand that the foundations of Human Rights and the interests of the Iranian people to live in peaceful coexistence within and with our neighbors and beyond are not negotiable.

We strongly believe that the political forces, in the free world, who are not negotiating with the kleptocratic and theocratic Islamic regime and stand by the Iranian people in support of a National Secular Democratic Coalition Movement in Iran, will be remembered as the true allies and friends of the future secular democratic Iran.

Dear Compatriots, the widespread boycott of the upcoming Presidential election by the masses of the Iranian people will show to the world our resolve and commitment in supporting the National Secular Democratic Coalition Movement. This Movement is determined in replacing the theocratic apartheid Constitution of the Islamic Republic in Iran with a new Secular Democratic Constitution that guarantees unconditional implementation of Human Rights for every citizen of our country. Therefore, we seek:

  1. Ali Khamenei’s Resignation,
  2. Holding a national referendum for the dissolution of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic,
  3. Creation of the necessary conditions for holding free and fair elections in the transition period, under the supervision of neutral organizations such as the United Nations, to elect the Founders Constituent Assembly,
  4. The new Constitution of the country which will be written by the Constituent Assembly shall be based on the following principles:
  • Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted on 10 December 1948, and all its conventions,
  • Separation of religion and State with full respect for all religions and beliefs,
  • Equality of citizenship for all before the law, regardless of race, ethnicity and religion,
  • Full Equality of rights and opportunities between women and men,
  • Freedom of speech, ideas and the press,
  • Freedom of political parties, trade unions, independent workers and industries,
  • Establishment of a Free-Market economy and social justice,
  • Promulgation of peaceful foreign policies and constructive diplomatic relations based on the Iran national interest, adherence to, and respect for, international laws and order to maintain peace, security and stability in the region and around the world, and compliance with the protocols and treaties of non-proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction.

It is now up to all segments of the Iranian society, namely the journalists, workers, teachers, athletes, artists, the clergy, and government officials to join the Iranian people in this national aspiration to boycott the presidential election in support of the coalition for a non-violent transition from the Islamic Republic to a secular democratic government that is for all people regardless of gender, religion, ethnic and beliefs -The Republic of Iran.

To the Armed Forces of Iran:

Every one of you, as a father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, friend, acquaintance, or neighbor are a member of the larger Iranian family. We call on you, the defenders of our nation’s borders and our people to join the National Democratic Coalition Movement for a non-violent transition from the Islamic Republic to a secular democratic government. “We, the people of Iran,” with a history of more than a century of struggle for democracy and human rights, deserve to have the opportunity to live in a prosperous and bright future for all.

We learned from the bitter memory of 1979 that revenge, purge, executions, hatred and violence have destroyed the fabric of cultural, moral, economic, political, and social values ​​of our country.  Iran, this proud ancient civilization that relies on vast natural wealth and human resources has reached global isolation and is in misery and poverty, all due to the Islamic Republic. All of us as a nation, from staunch opponents to government officials, have been taken into bitter captivity in the mire of the Islamic Republic theocratic kleptocracy.

Post Islamic Republic, Iran will be governed within the framework of the rule of law based on universally accepted human rights. No citizen will be imprisoned for his political or ideological beliefs. No government executions will be permitted without due process. Revenge and enmity will disappear from our society. Those who committed civil wrongs or have the blood of the Iranian people on their hands will be held accountable to the Iranian people in an independent democratic system of justice.

We, the signatories of this letter with the support of business community, the elites, from workers and toilers to entrepreneurs, from intellectuals to the armed forces, together until our last breath, will continue on the path of the National Secular Democratic Coalition Movement for establishing the rule of law based on democratic and human rights values. Undoubtedly, we the people of Iran, will achieve victory and once again, Iran, by conducting diplomacy to promote friendship and interaction with the world, will play an important role in promoting peace and stability in the region.

With Humility and the Most Loving Wishes,

Juin 2021 

Lettre ouverte au grand people d’Iran

« Ensemble pour le boycott de l’élection présidentielle et pour une transition non-violente du régime de la République islamique  vers un gouvernement du peuple, par le peuple et pour le peuple »

 

Chers Compatriotes,

Nous, les signataires de cette lettre, représentons des opinions politiques, des religions, des croyances, des cultures et ethnies différentes de la nation iranienne. Nous sommes issues des provinces, des villes et villages à travers tout l’Iran. Comme vous et des millions d’autres citoyens iraniens, nous avons été victime de la mauvaise gouvernance, de la corruption et de la brutalité du régime de la République islamique d’Ali Khamenei et de la Constitution de ce régime. Cette dernière garantie à Ali Khamenei (Velayat-e Faqih) un règne à vie et un pouvoir absolu lui permettant la terreur, le pillage des richesses de la nation et une politique étrangère aventureuse fondée sur une idéologie totalitaire. Tout ceci représente un coût exorbitant pour notre nation depuis 42 ans.

Avec humilité et sollicitude, nous vous demandons, qu’ensemble (Hamava) dans le cadre du Mouvement de la coalition nationale démocratique et laïc, de boycotter l’élection présidentielle du 18 Juin prochain, et ce au nom de l’intérêt supérieur de l’Iran. Ceci permettra de réunir les conditions nécessaires à une transition pacifique du régime du Velayat-e Faqih vers une Constitution démocratique et laïque fondée sur les valeurs de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’Homme.

Durant ces 42 dernières années, la communauté internationale a constaté, à de nombreuses reprises, des manifestations massifs du peuple iranien, contre la République islamique, réprimés brutalement et faisant des milliers de morts et d’arrestations. Particulièrement ces 12 dernières années, le monde a été témoin de la détermination de « Nous », peuple d’Iran, dans notre lutte contre le gouvernement religieux et kleptomane de la République islamique, ainsi que de nos aspirations pour une Constitution démocratique et laïque.

La communauté internationale doit comprendre que les fondements des Droits de l’Homme et l’intérêt national du peuple iranien de vivre dans une coexistence pacifique, en Iran et avec nos voisins et le reste du monde, ne sont pas négociables.

Nous avons la conviction que les forces politiques du monde libre qui refusent de négocier avec le régime théocratique et kleptomane d’Iran, en solidarité avec le peuple iranien et en soutien au Mouvement de la coalition nationale pour la démocratie et la laïcité, resteront dans notre mémoire collective comme les vrais alliés et les vrais amis d’un Iran démocratique.

Chers compatriotes, un boycott massif de la prochaine élection présidentielle montrera notre résolution et notre engagement en faveur du Mouvement de la coalition nationale pour la démocratie et la laïcité. Ce mouvement est déterminé à remplacer la Constitution théocratique et d’apartheid de la République islamique d’Iran par une nouvelle Constitution démocratique et laïque qui garantira de façon inconditionnelle les Droits de l’Homme de chaque citoyen de notre pays.

A cet fin les conditions suivantes sont nécessaires :

  1. La démission d’Ali Khamenei,
  2. Organisation d’un referendum national pour l’abolition de la Constitution de la République islamique,
  3. La mise en place des conditions nécessaires à la tenue d’élections libres et transparentes d’une Assemblée constituante durant une période de transition, sous la supervision d’organisations indépendantes telles que les Nations unies,
  4. La rédaction d’une nouvelle Constitution par l’Assemblée constituante fondée sur les principes suivants :
  • la Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l’Homme du 10 décembre 1948 et toutes les conventions internationales qui s’y rapportent,
  • la séparation des religions et de l’État dans le respect de toutes les religions et de toutes les croyances
  • l’égalité des citoyens devant la loi, sans distinction de race, d’ethnie et de religion,
  • l’égalité des droits et des chances pour les femmes et les hommes,
  • la liberté d’expression, des idées et de la presse,
  • la liberté de se constituer en partis politiques et en syndicats,
  • l’établissement d’une économie de marché et la justice sociale,
  • l’adoption d’une politique étrangère pacifique et l’établissement de relations diplomatiques constructives, le respect des lois internationales dans le but de préserver la paix, la sécurité et la stabilité dans la région et à travers le monde, l’adhésion aux conventions et traités de non-prolifération des armes nucléaires, chimiques et biologiques.

Il appartient aux Iraniens de toutes les contingences, en particulier les journalistes, les sportifs, les artistes, les membres du clergé, et aux membres de l’administration du pays de rejoindre le peuple iranien dans ce mouvement national qu’est celui du boycott de l’élection en faveur d’une transition pacifique du régime de la République islamique vers un gouvernement démocratique et laïc qui ne fera aucune distinction de genre, de religion, d’ethnie et de croyance – la République d’Iran.

Aux forces armées d’Iran :

Chacun de vous, comme père, mère, frère, sœur, amis, connaissance ou voisin, êtes un membre de la grande famille d’Iran. Nous faisons appel à vous, gardiens des frontières de notre Patrie, pour que vous rejoigniez le Mouvement de la coalition nationale pour la démocratie et la laïcité afin de permettre une transition pacifique du régime de la République islamique vers un gouvernement démocratique et laïc. « Nous, le peuple iranien, » avec une lutte ancienne de plus de cent ans pour la démocratie et les droits de l’homme, méritons de pouvoir de vivre dans un avenir prospère et radieux.

Nous avons appris, avec le sombre souvenir de 1979, que la vengeance, les purges, les exécutions, la haine et la violence ne font que détruire les valeurs culturelles, morales, économiques, politiques et sociales de notre pays. L’Iran, cette ancienne civilisation qui repose sur des ressources naturelles et humaines extraordinaires, a atteint par la faute de la République islamique un niveau d’isolement et de pauvreté sans précédent. Tous ensemble, en tant que Nation, que nous soyons de fervents opposants ou membres de l’administration du régime, avons été pris en otage dans le bourbier de cette République théocratique et kleptomane.

Au lendemain de la République islamique, l’Iran devra être gouverné dans un cadre fixé selon la Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l’Homme. Personne ne sera emprisonné pour ses convictions. Les exécutions sommaires n’auront plus cours, la peine capitale sera abolie. La vengeance et la désignation d’ennemis seront bannis de notre société. Ceux qui sont accusés de crimes contre le peuple iranien seront traduits devant une justice indépendante et conforme aux principes démocratiques.

Nous, les signataires de cette lettre, avec le soutien des milieux d’affaires, des travailleurs des hommes d’affaires, des intellectuels et des militaires, ensemble, jusqu’à notre dernier souffle, nous engageons à poursuivre la lutte du Mouvement de la coalition nationale pour la démocratie et la laïcité et l’instauration d’un État de droit fondé sur les valeurs universelles des droits de l’Homme. Sans doute aucun, nous, le peuple d’Iran, serons victorieux et, une fois de plus, l’Iran, en menant une diplomatie de coexistence pacifique et d’ouverture avec le monde, jouera un rôle déterminant dans la promotion de la paix et de la stabilité dans la région.

Avec humilité et nos vœux les meilleurs,

Signatures en provenance de 50 Villes et 25 Provinces Iraniens
