Hassan Rouhani’s cabinet consists of elements of war, repression, terrorism

Pour-Mohammadi, Minister of Justice, is one of the ranking officials responsible for the mass murder of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988

NCRI – Members of Hassan Rouhani’s cabinet who were introduced to the regime’s Majlis today are all among the regime’s ranking officials in the past three decades who have been highly involved in war, repression and export of terrorism and fundamentalism; in fact, his cabinet includes no one who has not been an official in the mullahs’ regime during the past 34 years.

As Mrs. Rajavi specified on the very next day after the elections, no change could be imagined without freedom of political prisoners, freedom of speech, freedom of political parties, cessation of aggressive meddling in Syria and Iraq, and putting an end to the nuclear bomb project. Fifty days after the election, Rouhani has well proved in various occasions that neither does he want nor can he bring about any change regarding above issues. Rouhani said today to the Syrian prime minister, who had gone to Tehran to participate in his inauguration ceremony, that the mullahs’ regime will not abandon supporting Syrian government in confronting the current crisis (meaning Syrian people).
