Maryam Rajavi urges the UN

human rights defenders, Europe and the US to take urgent action to save the lives of death row prisoners in Iran

In a heinous crime, the clerical regime executed Baluchi political prisoner Javid Dehghan despite international outcry. This is the 8th execution in a week by a regime that cannot survive in the face of the Iranian people’s fury without torture and execution.

This clerical regime in Iran is a disgrace to humanity and must be rejected by the world community.

I urge the United Nations, human rights defenders, Europe and the United States to take urgent action to save the lives of death row prisoners in Iran.

The dossier on the massacre of political prisoners, and the slaughter of unarmed protesters in #Iran must be referred to the UN Security Council and the regime’s leaders must face justice for 4 decades of crimes against humanity.

caspian-credit-institutions-investors-held-a-protest-rally

A group of creditors who had invested in Caspian Credit Institution gathered in front of the Financial settlement committee building on Thursday, January 28 in protest to not receiving their overdue payments.

Four years have passed since this government-backed institution has looted the people’s wealth under an official, government-approved license. Since then, the institution’s customers have been regularly protesting, demanding the company and the government to take action and restore their funds. But in a collusion between Caspian and the government, the regime’s broadcasting apparatus has announced that only 542 cases remain to be settled.

He was severely tortured.

The Iranian Resistance had urged the United Nations Secretary-General, the UN Council and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as well as other human rights organizations to take immediate action to save his life.

Iran’s Terrorist-Diplomat, Assadollah Assadi, Led a Large Espionage & Terrorism Network in EU

New information raises new concerns about the case of Mohamad Javad Zarif’s incarcerated diplomat-terrorist Assadollah Assadi. The information suggests the mullahs’ network of espionage and terrorism is much wider in Europe than it appears.

Assadi was arrested in July 2018 after delivering a bomb to a terrorist couple, Nasimeh Na’ami and Amir Saadouni, in Luxembourg and tasking them to plant the bomb in the “Free Iran” gathering of the Iranian opposition in Villepinte, north of Paris, France.

Next week, a court in Antwerp, Belgium, will decide on the case of Assadollah Assadi, a career Iranian diplomat who plotted a bombing attack against a major gathering of Iranian dissidents in France in 2018. The attack was foiled by European authorities, and Assadi was arrested along with his co-conspirators.

This case and the details that have cropped up during the trial and investigation speak volumes about the Iranian regime’s terror-based foreign policy and the threat it poses to global peace and security. It also highlights the failure of a policy centered on containing Tehran’s malign behavior through continuous concessions and letting it get away with crimes and violations of international norms and values.
