Along Associazione Meridiana, supporters of the Iranian Resistance held a human rights conference in Rivoli, Italy – March 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A human rights conference held in Rivoli<\/a>, Italy, brought renewed attention to the escalating wave of executions and severe human rights abuses in Iran under the clerical dictatorship. Organized by the Meridiana Human Rights Association in cooperation with the Free and Democratic Iran Association, the event united scholars, activists, and members of the Iranian diaspora in a joint call for a decisive international response and support for Iran\u2019s organized resistance movement.<\/p>\n

Bruno Merlin<\/strong>, president of the Meridiana Association, opened the conference by emphasizing Iran\u2019s deep cultural heritage and the contrast between the country’s people and the ruling regime. He characterized the regime as a fundamentalist religious dictatorship that has systematically blocked progress, freedom, and democracy. Merlin underscored the importance of acknowledging the Iranian people\u2019s aspirations for change, which he said are embodied in the country\u2019s organized resistance movement.<\/p>\n

Valter Coralluzzo<\/strong>, professor of international relations at the University of Turin, focused on the ideological nature of the regime, which he described as fundamentally incompatible with peaceful coexistence. He highlighted that following its setbacks across the Middle East and growing international isolation, the regime has resorted to widespread executions\u2014including of political prisoners\u2014to instill fear and suppress unrest. Coralluzzo stressed that these executions have escalated dramatically, yet are often met with international silence. He pointed to the Iranian people\u2019s rejection of both theocratic and monarchical rule during recent uprisings, asserting that this reflects a clear demand for a secular, democratic alternative. He described the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI), led by Maryam Rajavi, as that alternative, with her Ten-Point Plan outlining a democratic roadmap based on separation of religion and state, gender equality, and civil freedoms.<\/p>\n

Yalda Jahandarpour<\/strong>, a representative of the Iranian Youth Association in Italy, spoke about the historical roots of the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for freedom, particularly among women. She emphasized the active role of youth and women in recent uprisings, supported by resistance units inside the country, calling for the overthrow of the clerical regime and the establishment of a democratic republic. Jahandarpour stressed that the regime is using executions as a primary tool of repression, targeting political dissent and attempting to prevent future protests. She urged the international community to act decisively, stating that only by supporting the Iranian people and the NCRI can democracy and human rights be achieved in Iran.<\/p>\n
