In 1981, he joined the Iranian Resistance and became the Resistance\u2019s representative in Switzerland. Dr. Rajavi had dedicated his life to seeking justice for the victims of the mullahs\u2019 regime, particularly the victims of the 1988 massacre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the summer of 1988, the Iranian regime\u2019s then-supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini issued a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners\/iran-1988-massacre\/\" rel=\"noopener\">fatwa<\/a> ordering the massacre of all Iranian dissidents, mainly the members and supporters of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener\">Mojahedin<\/a>-e Khalq (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\/\" rel=\"noopener\">MEK<\/a>), calling them the \u201cenemies of Islam.\u201d<br \/>\nAs it was later described by renowned human rights barristers and law experts such as Professor Eric David from Belgium and Geoffrey Robertson QC from the United Kingdom, this massacre was targeting the MEK members and supporters due to the democratic interpretation of Islam, is considered genocide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The so-called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners\/iran-1988-massacre-death-commissions\/\" rel=\"noopener\">death commissions<\/a> implemented Khomeini\u2019s fatwa. Indeed, this fatwa has been the basis of the regime\u2019s crimes against the MEK and other dissidents both inside and abroad in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the Swiss court decision announced on September 23, it is highlighted that \u201cin direct relation with the massacre of thirty thousand political prisoners, perpetrated in Iran in the second half of the year 1988 under cover of the fatwa pronounced by the Supreme Leader Khomeini.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nThe international community\u2019s inaction regarding the 1988 massacre and the regime\u2019s systematic purge of dissidents inside Iran and abroad has resulted in systematic impunity in Iran, where a mass murderer like Raisi assumes the presidential office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This impunity has not only a devastating effect on the general human rights situation, and the regime has indeed profited from the world community\u2019s inaction to pursue its terrorist activities abroad against the Iranian dissident. In February 2021, a court in Antwerp convicted Assadollah Assadi, the regime\u2019s diplomat-terrorist, and his three accomplices to nearly 70 years of prison for their attempt to bomb the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI\u2019s<\/a> rally in France in 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If the European security services did not thwart the plot, thousands of the Iranian dissidents, along with renowned European and American politicians, who had attended the \u201cFree Iran\u201d gathering, could have been killed.<br \/>\nDuring Assadi\u2019s trial, it was revealed that while stationed in Vienna as the third-secretary of Iran\u2019s embassy, Assadi oversaw a network of espionage. The regime\u2019s so-called diplomats have led this network of espionage and terrorism since the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Those who assassinated Dr. Rajavi in 1990 used diplomatic passports to travel to Switzerland and carry out the assassination. The European authorities\u2019 inaction resulted in their escape. This failure to properly act allowed the regime to continue its terrorist operations or at least maintain its network for nearly three decades.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While Assadi was incarcerated and imprisoned, the European countries have not taken concrete actions against the regime, including closing down its embassies. The recent arrest of the Iranian regime\u2019s spy in Sweden once again reinforces the need to address the regime\u2019s network of terrorism in Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The recent court ruling regarding Dr. Rajavi\u2019s assassination case also reiterates the need for the world community to adopt a firm policy toward the genocidal regime in Tehran. Holding Iran\u2019s genocidal regime would not only curb the regime\u2019s human rights abuses, but it will also curb the regime\u2019s terrorism in other countries, mainly in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-246866 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png 250w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1-150x50.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Swiss Federal Criminal Court decided to investigate the assassination of Dr. Kazem Rajavi in 1990 near Geneva as genocide and a crime against humanity, arguing it is connected to [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":247976,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,15,19,284,511],"tags":[129,142,197,215],"class_list":{"0":"post-247963","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-human-rights","9":"category-terrorism-a-fundamentalism","10":"category-iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners","11":"category-ebrahim-raisi","12":"tag-iran","13":"tag-1988-massacre","14":"tag-mek-iran","15":"tag-kazem-rajavi"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
