For years, the world was learning about human rights violations in Iran and worldwide condemnation and even sanctions imposed against the regime failed to change the lives of Iranians. The policy of appeasement and refusing to hold Tehran to account for its crimes at home and abroad had effectively created systemic impunity for Iranian state officials and even those trapped in terrorist attacks knew how to safely make it home.<\/p>\n
But since 2018, things began to change. Assadollah Assadi<\/a>, the Iranian regime\u2019s diplomatic envoy nr. 2 in Austria was arrested in Germany for masterminding a bomb plot against the Free Iran Rally in Paris. He was tried by the Belgian Judiciary and is spending 20 years behind bars in Belgium.<\/p>\n Hamid Noury, a former prison guard was apprehended in 2019 upon his arrival in Sweden on charges of murder and war crimes due to his active role in the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran. Most of these prisoners were members and supporters of Iran\u2019s principal opposition, Mujahedin-e Khalq<\/a> (MEK).<\/p>\n During the last days of the trial, the Swedish prosecutors highlighted Noury\u2019s role as a henchman in the 1988 genocide by referring to the shocking testimonies of the MEK supporters and members who had survived the massacre and the prisoners of Marxist groups. The prosecutors have called for a life sentence to be handed to Noury.<\/p>\n Noury\u2019s trial and his inevitable condemnation could be described as a landmark development in the Iranian Resistance and people\u2019s \u201cJustice Seeking Movement.\u201d This movement, initiated by the Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi in 1988 and reinstated by the opposition\u2019s president Mrs. Maryam Rajavi in 2016, calls for the arrest of all criminals involved in this crime, including the regime\u2019s current president Ebrahim Raisi.<\/p>\n Sensing the grave consequences of Noury\u2019s trial, the Iranian regime is now trying to reverse the court decision through extortion. As the court of Stockholm stated it will announce the verdict of Hamid Noury by mid-July, the Iranian regime played its last card: the execution of Ahmadreza Jalali<\/a>, a Swedish Iranian national held hostage in Iran since 2016.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported that Jalali will be hanged on May 21 on charges of \u201cespionage for Israel.\u201d Jalali, a disaster medicine doctor, and researcher, was arrested in April 2016 while on an academic visit to Iran. Like one of the other dual nationals, his arrest is part of Tehran\u2019s strategy of extortion. But Tehran denies the recent announcement has anything to do with blackmail.<\/p>\n Iran’s state TV reported that the regime\u2019s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian demanded Noury’s immediate release in a telephone call with his Swedish counterpart.<\/p>\n Stockholm did also try to refrain Tehran from going ahead with the execution.<\/p>\n “Sweden and (the) EU condemn the death penalty and demand that Jalali be released,” Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde wrote on Twitter. “We have repeatedly stated this to Iranian representatives. We are in contact with Iran.”<\/p>\n Mycket oroande medieuppgifter idag att Iran kan komma att verkst\u00e4lla d\u00f6dsstraff mot svenske medborgaren Ahmadreza Djalali. \ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddea och \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa f\u00f6rd\u00f6mer d\u00f6dsstraff och kr\u00e4ver att Djalali ska friges. Det har vi framf\u00f6rt flera g\u00e5nger till f\u00f6retr\u00e4dare f\u00f6r Iran. Vi st\u00e5r i kontakt med Iran.<\/p>\n — Ann Linde (@AnnLinde) May 4, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
