Iran Regime to View Borrell’s Trip as Green Light to Continue Crimes Against Humanity
EU HIGH REPRESENTATIVE SHOULD CONDEMN FOUR DECADES OF CRIMES BY REGIME AND QUESTION ITS NOVEMBER KILLINGS, MASSACRE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS.
Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, will travel to Tehran on Monday, in a trip that will add insult to injury for the Iranian people, particularly after a violent and bloody suppression of the nationwide uprising in November, and the crackdown on student and popular protests in January.

Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chairman Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran wrote on twitter:
#Iran’s rulers will exploit the trip to justify their export of terrorism and warmongering as well as their criminal regional interventions at a time when many Iraqis are being slaughtered in that country by the Iranian regime’s mercenary forces on a daily basis. #FreeIran2020

Khuzestan, Mahshahr Port February 2, 2020: Arvand petrochemical workers protest.
The city is on holiday ahead of the weekend, but workers are still standing with placards facing Arvand Petrochemical in the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone and the Persian Gulf Holding subcommittee. Despite that, their number has dwindled, but one says, “We’ll start again next week.”
On February 1, the Arvand petrochemical workers’ rally appears to be prolonged. A local worker said this.
“Although this petrochemical unit has a high turnover, its workers are unaffected by it,” he added. As a result, our protests are not over now. Workers’ rally continues on February 2.
