Iranians to protest at visit of Javad Zarif to UNESCO

Supporters of the Iranian Resistance living in France will hold a rally in protest at the visit of Javad Zarif, the Foreign Minister of the mullahs’ regime, to UNESCO’s General Conference in France on November 6.

Iranians reiterate that the only mandate of the mullahs’ Foreign Minister is deceitfully advance the myth of moderation and tolerance by the mullahs in general and Rouhani in particular to buy time for the regime to pursue its objectives.

Zarif’s meeting takes place as:

A new wave of executions, particularly the execution of political prisoners has pervaded Iran. At least 19 Kurd and Baluchi political prisoners have been hanged in Zahedan, Uromieyeh, Salmas, and Saghez, charged with “Moharebeh” (enmity with the regime in its entirety.) A number of political prisoners who are on death row are in a hunger strike.

More than 300 people have been executed – one every seven hours – since the election of Hassan Rouhani.

Despite all the empty gestures, the clerical regime is working unabated to obtain nuclear weapons.

At the behest of the mullahs’ regime, the Government of Iraq mass executed 52 defenseless Iranian refugee residents of Camp Ashraf in Iraq on September 1 and took seven of them as hostage. Some of the victims in Ashraf massacre were journalists, artists, and authors.

The mullahs’ regime has imposed censorship and repression on the Iranian people. That includes imprisoning artists and authors, censoring the Internet, banning musical instruments on television, and the use of satellite TVs, with complete suppression.

The only practical result of ignoring the nature and conduct of the clerical regime and pandering to the facade of moderation by Rouhani and his representative Zarif, is to embolden the regime in suppressing freedom and destroying culture inside Iran. It would also provide the regime with a free reign in meddling in other countries, in particular Syria and would provide it with more time to obtain nuclear weapons and would lead to an unprecedented global crisis.
