Maryam Radjavi, condemned Rouhani’s “facade of moderation”.

While the French state rolled out the red carpet for Rouhani, hundreds of people held a demonstration in Paris protesting against Iran’s human rights record.
Speakers noted that around 2,000 people have been executed in Iran since Rouhani came to power three years ago.
Maryam Radjavi, president of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (CNRI), condemned Rouhani’s “facade of moderation” and said he was “implicated in all the atrocities of this regime and as a result should be brought to justice for crimes against humanity”.
Hollande himself said he had reminded Rouhani that France was “committed to human rights“.
Rouhani’s talks with Hollande also touched on Iran’s role in Syria, where Tehran is backing President Bashar al-Assad in a war that has killed 260,000 people.
