NCRI –\u00a0The Revolutionary Guard\u2019s General \u201cMohammad Reza Naghdi\u201d along with some members of Iranian regime\u2019s parliament have announced their opposition to the bill to join the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, stating that joining this convention will lead to closure of the Student Basij.(Regime\u2019s paramilitary force)<\/p>\n
In an interview with the state news agency \u201cBasij News\u201d on September 26, the Revolutionary Guard\u2019s Naghdi said: \u201cThis is against the Islamic law according to which a person has a duty to fight upon reaching the age of puberty (in Iran 9 years old for girls and 15years old for boys) whereas joining this convention is prohibiting a Muslim from doing his responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Naghdi stated that joining the Convention on the Rights of the Child is \u201ctotally irrational\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d He added: \u201cThis is by no means possible that we ask millions of young people who are ready and organized to defend their country, to put their guns down and put their trainings away and go sit at their houses. This is a retreat and our Basijies will never retreat.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Commander of Basij also said: \u201cWe are not obliged to join this convention. This is totally irrational and there is no reason we voluntarily do something that we are not obliged to.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an interview with the same news agency, the Revolutionary Guard\u2019s \u201cAli Fazli\u201d, Deputy to Naghdi in Basij, has asked the parliament to reject the bill on joining the Convention on the Rights of the Child.<\/p>\n
Fazli stated that joining the convention is like \u201csurrendering our power and start begging instead.\u201d He added: \u201cWe had 36,000 student martyrs who were allowed to go to the front line when they reached their puberty.\u201d<\/p>\n
To prepare the ground for another round of killing the children, regime\u2019s parliamentarians like Akbar Torki, Javad Hosseini Kia, and Hossein Ali Haji Deligani, and also delegates of Faridan, Songhor city and Shahin Shahr city, have announced their opposition to the bill, saying that it will restrain the activities of the Student Basij.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
