Narges Mohammadi addressed French parliament

South Azerbaijani Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi on Thursday called for an "end" to the Islamic republic and urged human rights to be a precondition of any negotiation with Tehran as she addressed French lawmakers, in a rare encounter with an Iran-based activist.

This was reported by the “France 24”.

Mohammadi, 52, had been in prison for over three years but was released in December for a limited period on medical leave. Her legal team has warned she could be re-arrested and sent back to jail at any time.

"Any negotiations with the Islamic republic that do not take into account the fundamental rights of the Iranian people will only strengthen religious tyranny," she told the women's rights committees of the French upper house Senate and lower house National Assembly in a joint session, via video link from Tehran.

"I believe in the need to end the Islamic Republic," she added.

Mohammadi appeared healthy and as usual in her public appearances, defiantly not wearing the headscarf that is obligatory for all women under the Islamic republic's dress code.

Asked about the risks of her participating in this video conference, Mohammadi replied that it was "no difference being on one side or the other of the prison wall".
