Mr. Roberts, a British biochemist and molecular biologist who won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of introns in eukaryotic DNA and the mechanism of gene pooling, also attended a meeting with members of the Iranian Resistance and gave a short but touching speech. .
Welcoming Mr. Roberts, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Ms. Maryam Rajavi said: “We and the Iranian people will remember this visit because of your outstanding scientific career, because of your support for the uprisings of the Iranian people. for freedom and especially because of your sincere and heartfelt defense of the MEK at Ashraf and Camp Liberty over the seven years, from 2009 to 2016, where 150 MEK members were killed and nearly 1,500 wounded in seven bloodbaths. “From the first attack until today, you have risen 22 times in support of Iran’s freedom fighters and the protests of the Iranian people.”
Emphasizing Mr. Roberts’ effective activities, Ms. Rajavi recalled: “In July 2021, you and 20 colleagues wrote a letter to the UN Secretary-General calling for the establishment of a fact-finding mission to investigate the 1988 massacre. political prisoners. In this letter, you highlight the role of the regime’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, in committing crimes against humanity. “Your support for the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom is invaluable.”
“Today, Iran holds the world record for the flight of knowledgeable people,” Rajavi added. “In the last three years alone, some 4,000 doctors and 300,000 specialists with master’s and doctoral degrees, including 900 university professors, have left Iran.
We are committed to making freedom flourish throughout Iran with our body and soul! “I think it is our common belief that no force in the world can stop the advancement of science and freedom,” concluded the President-elect of eNCRI.
Mr. Richard J. Roberts, moved by what he called his observations at the Ashraf 3 Museum, said: “What I have done has been small compared to the efforts you have made, the courage you have shown, the strong of freedom, with your desire to establish a true democracy in Iran. I think no one could walk through museums like I did this morning without realizing the trials and tribulations you, your colleagues, your friends and family have gone through. I was really touched by the tears, but I tried very hard to keep my composure when I could. “It was a wonderful experience and I believe it is something that needs to be made more widely available to the rest of the world.”
“With this I pledge that I will do everything possible to increase my efforts to help you in any way I can. I have access to a large number of Nobel Prize winners and I think in the next letter that will come out, I will make sure that there are many more listed supporters who can help present your cause to the general public. My strong hope, after going through the museums this morning, was that in the not too distant future, I would meet you all in Tehran or any other city in Iran, ”added Prof. Roberts.
