Iran National Front is struggling to establish democracy, civil liberties, human rights, and the rule of law in Iran.  We hope that the transition from the theocratic dictatorship to a democratic and secular republic will be peaceful and non-violent.  There is a serious crisis of legitimacy and governance in Iran, and the only non-violent way to resolve the crisis is a UN supervised referendum whereby the Iranian people can freely choose the form of government they want.  The support of pro-democracy forces around the world for the referendum in Iran is appreciated by the Iranian pro-democracy forces.

There are many in EU who under the guise of “constructive dialogue” appear to whitewash the human rights crisis in the Islamic Republic in order to benefit from financial dealings with the fundamentalist regime.  We wholeheartedly agree with your statement: “without any progress in the area of human rights, a fruitful dialogue can not exist.”  It is our hope that EU would not sacrifice the human rights of the Iranian people for the sake of short-term financial gain.  In the long term, the appeasement of the fundamentalist regime is harmful to all concerned.
