The Rt. Hon. John Bercow, former Speaker of the UK House of Commons, expressed firm support for Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), in an exclusive interview with Simay Azadi on the sidelines of the conference at Church House Westminster on October 11, 2025, held as part of the “No to Execution” Campaign Week. Mr. Bercow condemned the Iranian regime’s extensive use of executions and repression to maintain power, calling it a “disgrace to humanity.” He stressed that Mrs. Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan presents a clear and democratic vision for Iran’s future—one that rejects all forms of dictatorship, whether monarchical or theocratic, and embodies the universal values of freedom, equality, and justice.

INTV Reporter: Mr. Bercow, could you share your thoughts on the current situation in Iran and your message to those fighting for freedom?
John Bercow: As long as I have breath in my lungs, I will continue to speak up and speak out in support of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi and the NCRI, and its 10-point plan for the future of the country.
I believe that the Iranian people have suffered grievously for far too long. The denial of human rights, the systematic use of torture, the deployment of executions as a political weapon—these are all abominations that disgrace the regime and shame humanity.
The world must be clear: the Iranian people deserve better. They deserve freedom, equality, justice, and democracy. That is precisely what Mrs. Rajavi’s 10-point plan stands for. It is a civil, humane, and democratic vision for the future of Iran—one that rejects all forms of dictatorship, whether it wears the garb of the Shah or the turban of the mullahs.
The international community must not turn a blind eye to the atrocities taking place in Iran. The executions must stop. The repression must end. And the Iranian people must be supported in their quest to build a free and democratic republic.
I salute the courage of the Iranian Resistance and the brave men and women who continue to risk everything for liberty. They are not only fighting for Iran—they are fighting for the universal values of justice and human dignity.
