The event was attended by political figures, legal experts, former political prisoners, and relatives of executed individuals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The speakers at the conference underscored the urgent need for the international community to adopt a firm policy toward the Iranian regime and hold its leaders accountable for the 1988 massacre of political prisoners and ongoing crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The conference featured distinguished speakers, including:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Kirsty Brimelow, former Chair of the Human Rights Committee of the Bar of England and Wales (2012\u20132018) and former President of the Criminal Bar Association of England and Wales (2022\u20132023).<\/li>\n<li>Claude Nicati, former Deputy Attorney General of Switzerland (2001\u20132009) and former President of the Neuch\u00e2tel Canton (2010\u20132011).<\/li>\n<li>Senator Roberto Rampi from Italy.<\/li>\n<li>Behzad Naziri, former journalist and a member of the National Council of Resistance on Iran (NCRI) Foreign Affairs Committee.<\/li>\n<li>Sahar Sanaii, women\u2019s rights advocate.<\/li>\n<li>Behrooz Maqsoudi, a family member of executed political prisoners.<\/li>\n<li>Mojgan Joulaee, activist and event moderator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">1988 executions in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Part of my speech <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UN_HRC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@UN_HRC<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe executions had already been decreed against those who did not renounce their political beliefs or hesitated in renouncing their beliefs.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>There was a crude and cruel questionnaire.

She noted that these acts, which included arbitrary executions, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings, were conducted in violation of international human rights treaties to which Iran is a signatory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brimelow referenced documented reports, including findings from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/countries\/iran\/20240717-SR-Iran-Findings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the UN Special Rapporteur<\/a>, confirming the extrajudicial nature of these executions. She also highlighted the lack of accountability for those responsible, many of whom now hold high-ranking positions within the Iranian government.

He stressed that the failure to hold perpetrators accountable for past crimes has emboldened the regime to continue its execution policies. Nicati warned that without serious international intervention, the wave of executions, including recent cases of political prisoners Behrooz Ehsani and Mehdi Hassani, will persist. He dismissed the Iranian regime&#8217;s claims of due process, describing the judiciary as a tool of repression rather than justice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sahar Sanaie<\/strong> focused on the regime\u2019s systemic violence against women, emphasizing that Iran has one of the highest rates of female executions in the world. Despite this repression, Iranian women have played a leading role in the fight for freedom and democracy, as seen in the 2022 uprisings. Sanaii cited ongoing hunger strikes in Iran\u2019s prisons as a form of protest against mass executions and government oppression. She reaffirmed the importance of international support for Iranian women fighting for their rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Senator Roberto Rampi<\/strong> from Italy condemned the Iranian regime&#8217;s practice of state hostage-taking, citing recent cases where Western nationals were detained to pressure governments into making concessions.
