UN General Assembly’s resolution – Violation of human rights in Iran
Maryam Rajavi, welcomed ratification of the 60th resolution condemning systematic and barbaric violation of human rights in Iran by mullahs’ regime. Noting stipulations by this resolution regarding the escalating trend of executions, torture and inhuman punishments, especially execution of minors and covert group executions, she said: After Vali-e faqih’s ignorance and defiance vis-à-vis 60 UN resolutions condemning violation of human rights in Iran, verbal condemnations are no longer sufficient and regime’s criminal dossier must be referred to the Security Council and the International Criminal Court. The Western countries and United Nations must espouse the will of Iranian people for the release of political prisoners and they ought to condition their economic relations with this regime to the cessation of executions. Nothing less is acceptable to the Iranian people whose children throughout Iran, from Kurdistan, Sistan and Baluchistan, and Khuzestan to Tehran, Ashraf and Camp Liberty are victims of mass executions.
Given the spike in regime’s atrocities following the election show, including execution of over 400 prisoners, any welcoming or placating of Mullah Rouhani and endorsing of the sham election feeds fuel to the machine of suppression and massacre.
Rajavi said: West’s silence in face of violation of human rights in Iran and the wave of incessant executions is abhorring. The massacre of Ashraf residents was a crime against humanity. The massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 was also a crime against humanity which met silence of the international community while it must be investigated by the UN Security Council, especially since rulers of Tehran today are the very people who ordered and perpetrated that massacre and still defend that huge massacre. It is regrettable that Western officials, in their visit to Tehran today, shake hands with the perpetrators of that same massacre.
Rajavi warned the P5+1 countries not to overshadow the violation of human rights in Iran, and the terrorism and warmongering by this regime in the region, especially in Syria and Iraq, by the nuclear negotiations. She reiterated that this conciliatory policy assists in the massacre of Iranian people and threatens regional and global peace and tranquility. This regime must be banished from the international community.
