STRASBOURG: Thousands of members of the Iranian diaspora from all over Europe on Monday demonstrated in the EU parliament host city of Strasbourg to urge the bloc to list Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terror group.
"We are gathering to make Iranian women and men heard in Europe and ask the European Parliament to carry on standing on the right side of history," said Swedish parliament centrist deputy Alireza Akhondi who organised the rally. A branch of the Iranian armed forces, the Revolutionary Guards are charged notably with protecting Iran's Islamic system, set up after the fall of the shah in 1979, from external and internal threats.
A blacklisting of the Revolutionary Guards by the EU"would change things immensely, firstly economically and geopolitically," said Sahar Aghakhani, 26, a French-Iranian student.
