On Tuesday, September 17, the clerical regime in Iran held the <\/span>18th of its sham court<\/span><\/a> in Tehran, established to enforce a nearly 40-year-old decree by the diseased Supreme Leader, Ruhollah Khomeini. The trial targets members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), an organization whose members have faced widespread massacres and assassinations by the regime both inside and outside of Iran.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamid Noury, a former prison guard convicted in Sweden for his role in the 1988 massacre and sentenced to life imprisonment, made a calculated appearance in the trial, staged for the cameras. His presence followed Sweden\u2019s controversial decision to hand him over to Tehran, a move widely seen as an act of appeasement toward the regime’s hostage-taking tactics. This orchestrated event marks Tehran’s latest attempt to flaunt its defiance of international justice while seeking to intimidate domestic dissent.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dehghani, the man playing the role of a judge in this <\/span>mockery of justice<\/span><\/a>, addressed the United Nations Secretary-General, human rights organizations, and foreign governments, saying, \u201cThe court expects that host countries of alleged terrorists will cooperate in extraditing them to Iran for prosecution.” He further demanded, \u201cThe Islamic Republic invites all host nations to hand over suspects in accordance with international protocols and laws.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While representing the leading state sponsors of global terrorism, Dehghani had the audacity to claim that \u201cThe Islamic Republic, unlike the United States, does not breach the sovereignty of nations under the guise of counter-terrorism or promote double standards in its fight against terrorism.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
