Essential to Counter to Iran’s Regional Misconduct

As we approach the first anniversary of the Iranian nuclear deal, tens of thousands of activists and Iranian dissidents are set to rally this Saturday in Paris, calling for Tehran’s nefarious conduct at home and in the region to be tackled. One of the primary messages at this rally will be to condemn Iran’s role in the massacre of the Syrian people and to demand an end to its assistance to the Assad government.

Interview with Struan Stevenson about the “Free Iran” rally

Stevenson has been a staunch supporter of freedom for the Iranian people for many years. Until his retirement in 2014, he chaired the Friends of a Free Iran Intergroup (Caucus) in the European Parliament for over 10 years. During that time and in subsequent years, he has participated in the annual “Free Iran” rallies organized by the Iranian Resistance each year in Paris.

Human rights deteriorate in Iran despite European optimism

No amount of trade and economic growth can make up for the suffering and loss of life caused by Iran’s brutal regime. The West must demand change before deepening relations with Tehran, writes Gérard Deprez.

Gérard Deprez is a veteran member of the European Parliament, is vice-president of the Belgian Liberal Mouvement Reformateur Party and chairs the Friends of a Free Iran group in the European Parliament.

Last week I, together with 270 of my colleagues in the the European Parliament from all political groups, including six vice-presidents of the Parliament, signed a joint statement decrying the human rights situation in Iran. We called on European governments to require improvements to that situation before further expanding relations with Tehran and expressed our concern for the  rising number of executions in Iran since the so-called “moderate” president Hassan Rouhani took office three years ago.

In his latest reports to the UN Human Rights Commission, Dr Ahmed Shaheed, the UN special rapporteur for human rights in Iran, pointed out that nearly 1,000 people were put to death in Iranian jails during the year 2015 alone. He has clarified that this represents the worst period of executions in 27 years, in a nation that consistently executes more people per capita than any other.

The trend continues to this day, even in the wake of the implementation of the Iranian Nuclear Deal. It continues even as some European politicians insist on regarding the Rouhani administration as moderate, and as a potential source of internal reforms in the months and years to come.

Iranian opposition sources have added to Shaheed’s statistics by noting that President Rouhani has overseen a total of approximately 2,500 executions during his three years in office. Various Iran-focused human rights organisations have continued to report executions in recent weeks and have pointed out, for instance, that at least 73 people were hanged in May, some even in front of public crowds that included young children.

Such brutal spectacles are only one of the ways in which the Iranian regime maintains its commitment to plainly medieval values, regardless of whether Western observers keep up scrutiny and pressure on Tehran’s behavior, or praise it for its “moderation”. Repressive measures against women and religious minorities have continued to increase. The joint statement by the European lawmakers highlights not only the overall scope of executions, but also the fact that Iran leads the world in executions of juvenile offenders. Victims of Iranian hangings include political prisoners convicted of “crimes” like “enmity against God”, which may consist of nothing more than donating money to media outlets linked to the opposition PMOI, or otherwise speaking out against the regime’s abuses.

Even those who avoid the noose may be punished with either excessively long prison sentences or forms of legally mandated violence that would be shocking to any civilized person. According to the last report from Amnesty International, the country’s fundamentalist leadership continues to cling to the literal doctrine of “an eye for an eye”, and has very recently carried out punishments that involve blinding prisoners or removing their limbs.

Sentences of flogging are not only eagerly meted out by Iran’s revolutionary courts; they appear to be increasingly popular as ways of attempting to “correct” the behavior of a restive population, particularly women, who are thoroughly fed up with forced Islamic dress codes, comprehensive media censorship, and the criminalisation of anything resembling Western society. Near the end of May, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned “the outrageous flogging of up to 35 young men and women in Iran” who  had been rounded up at a graduation party and almost immediately subjected to 99 lashes each for removing headscarves and dancing with the opposite gender.

For those who have been waiting for signs of reforms from inside the Iranian regime, surely that wait has gone on long enough. Former claims of moderation have been thoroughly contradicted in both word and deed by the regime in general, and by the Rouhani administration in particular. The laws leading to the above-mentioned executions and physical violence have all been eagerly embraced by the Iranian president, who has described them as “the law of God” and “the laws of the parliament, which belongs to the people”.

In reality, the Iranian parliament belongs to no one other than the ruling theocracy. The recent political victories for Rouhani’s faction were nothing other than victories of one hardline wing over another. All genuine reformists were ousted from the race long before the Iranian people had any opportunity to weigh in on the future of the country. And more than that, many of the staunch opponents of repressive theocracy and fundamentalism were ousted from the country altogether, years ago.

On 9 July, many lawmakers from Europe, the United States, and throughout the world will join in the international rally of the Iranian opposition in Paris under the leadership of Maryam Rajavi to emphasise our commitment to supporting the Iranian people’s aspiration for democratic change.

Our message is that the Iranian people cannot afford European and American policies that continue to avoid putting pressure on the regime over the human rights situation. No amount of economic growth or trade with Iran can make up for the pain and loss of life that will persist if the regime is allowed to commit its newfound wealth to the same old human rights abuses.

Iran’s empty condemnation of terrorism

ANALYSIS/OPINION:
About two days after an Orlando gunman carried out the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, the Iranian foreign ministry issued a statement purporting to decry the incident. Speaking via the state-run IRNA, a spokesperson said the Iranian regime “condemns” the attack “based on its principled policy of condemning terrorism and its strong will to seriously confront this evil phenomenon.”
It’s hard to imagine an expression of sympathy more disingenuous. Tehran’s comments must be viewed against a backdrop of its status as the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, its steady propaganda against the United States, and its own brand of homophobia that has its origins in Islamic extremism.
Iran is not all talk. The rhetoric about Western “arrogance” and “hostility” has been backed up by the arrests of numerous people who hold both Iranian and Western citizenships. The same goes for journalists, artists and professionals who have any meaningful connections with the West, and for activists the regime deems pro-Western.
More significant is the regime’s long and brutal history of institutionalized homophobia. Former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once famously declared during a visit to the United States that Iran “does not have any homosexuals.” His laughable bluster was typical of his macho regime.
By contrast, the Orlando condemnation was issued by the administration of President Hassan Rouhani, known to wear a much friendlier face in public than its predecessor. This was most obvious during the nuclear negotiations last July. But neither the nuclear deal nor any subsequent statements justify claims that Mr. Rouhani and his colleagues represent a trend toward moderation.
Indeed, just last week, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that traces of man-made uranium were found at the Parchin facility, southeast of Tehran, indicating that Tehran was pursuing a weapons program.

'Free Iran' rally to give voice to those still suffering in the Islamic Republic

By Farzad Madadzadeh 

On July 9, I will be joining a large number of my fellow Iranian expatriates and their international supporters at the annual “Free Iran” rally in Paris. The National Council of Resistance of Iran has been hosting such events for over 10 years.

Needless to say, it is a significant international event regarding an important international issue. But for me it is very personal. In spirit, I will be with a much larger crowd. We will be joined by a countless Iranians still living under the thumb of the theocratic regime, who will risk reprisals to watch the proceedings on banned satellite television channels.

ADVERTISEMENT
How do I know? After this year’s rally, I will have seen the event from both sides of the ideological wall that separates the Islamic Republic from most of the rest of the world. In past years, I was among those Iranians who supported the NCRI and its main constituent group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), from a silent place inside the country. I put my safety and freedom at risk, as did many of my colleagues, to carry on the groups’ local activism. I spent five years in jail from 2009 to 2014 and suffered extensive physical and psychological torture for my support for the PMOI.  I fled Iran at the age of 29 last year.
Despite the aggressive repression that I witnessed from the regime, I never lost hope that the system of clerical rule would collapse in time. Images of the NCRI gathering, with some 100,000 Iranians and their international supporters chanting for a |”Free Iran” went a long way toward reinforcing that hope. For us activists, that day was always a special occasion. I even followed the messages of the event in prison.

From the 2009 national protests to the everyday defiance that native Iranians exhibit, it was always clear to me that the overwhelming majority of the population held common cause with the activist network to which I had dedicated my efforts. Meanwhile, the NCRI’s activities abroad made it clear that our exiled leadership was making great strides in securing the types of foreign support that would catapult our cause toward success.

I look forward to being able to contribute to that effort this year. Global policymakers have been steadily waking up to the dire need for regime change in Iran, and now I will be able to personally make that case to an international audience. If I am fortunate, my story and that of other recent escapees from the Islamic Republic will reach the ears of many of the prominent American and European politicians and experts who attend.

In any event, I know the broader message is already clear to them: Moderation by the Iranian government is not a realistic possibility. Freedom and democracy can only be secured through regime change. I am confident that the ranks of those Western supporters will continue to swell as the picture of Iranian repression and regional interference grows ever clearer.

This year’s event will take place almost exactly a year since the conclusion of the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5+1. Thus, it will be an opportunity for Western policymakers to evaluate the impact of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the general strategy of conciliation. Those policymakers attending the event already know that strategy is severely lacking.

Some in the West apparently persist in their optimism about Iran’s prospects under the presidency of Hassan Rouhani. My presence and that of a number of my fellow activists will surely help to drive home the fact that conditions inside Iran have shown no trend toward moderation. Domestic repression and foreign aggression both remain relentless under Rouhani. The former continues to send Iranian dissidents, activists, and artists either to jail or force them out of the country. And the latter contributes to the escalating refugee crisis, thanks to Iran’s unwavering support for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

I know firsthand how moving the July 9 event will be for Iranian dissidents and activists back home. It is important that governments in the West heed its message. That same message is resonating from Paris and from the silent majority of Iranians back home: “Free Iran.”

Iran regime “cannot and should not be trusted”

In an interview with Fox News the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran said
the current regime in Iran ‘cannot and should not be trusted’ and is calling on the U.S. and world powers to recognize Tehran’s intentions in advance of a deadline on the interim nuclear framework agreement.

"Nuclear negotiations should compel the Mullahs' regime to abandon its nuclear weapons program. This is the desire of the Iranian people who oppose this program. The Mullahs need the bomb for their own survival," warns Maryam Rajavi.

Iranian dissident rally in France

Maryam Rajavi is president elect of NCRI. she leads Iranian opposition organization made the remarks in an exclusive interview with The Washington Times ahead of an annual gathering 

on June 13

By Guy Taylor - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 11, 2015
Days before a major Iranian dissident rally in France, the head of the host organization says the “circumstances are ripe for regime change” in Tehran, but Washington and other Western governments are standing in the way by legitimizing the regime of Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei through the pursuit of a nuclear deal.

“Through their policy of appeasement and giving concessions to the regime, Western governments have served as an obstacle to the regime’s overthrow,” said Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. “In the absence of Western assistance, this regime would have fallen by now.”

Mrs. Rajavi made the remarks in an exclusive interview with The Washington Times ahead of an annual gathering that the council — an umbrella organization that members say includes more than 300 Iranian opposition groups peppered across 24 nations — is holding Saturday on the outskirts of Paris.

Flagrant human rights violations

This is the video of a young man whose father has been killed by the Iranian regime.
He calls on people across the globe to rise against “flagrant human rights violations” in Iran, particularly against the increasing executions under Hassan Rouhani.
 The video calls on people to join the Iranian communities abroad in their upcoming gathering in Paris on June 13 to stop violations of human rights in Iran.
According to a statement by NCRI, Over 60 executed in 10 days by the Iranian regime.
On the recent spate of executions in Iran, Soona Samsami, NCRI's US Representative, told IBTimes India on Thursday: "The political climate of repression and censorship in Iran, coupled with lack of due process in the judiciary, create severe difficulties in finding the truth behind Iran's executions."
"However, one thing is certain: the regime continues to use the death penalty, not as a deterrent to drug abuse or to stem ordinary crimes, but as a means of inflicting terror in a young and increasing restless and enraged population," Samsami said.
Samsami also hit out at Hassan Rouhani's failure to curb human rights abuses in the country.
”Hassan Rouhani's approval of these barbaric hangings notwithstanding, there is no room for reform in a constitution with a non-representative 'Supreme Leader', and a judiciary that executed 30,000 political prisoners in a matter of months in 1988 alone. Ironically, Mostafa Pourmohammadi, one of the three people who sat on the 'death commission' that sent these political prisoners, mostly MEK members, to the gallows, is Rouhani's Justice Minister," she added.

Countdown to Iran Going Nuclear

This is the real photo. It is not just a caricature. Obama doesn’t want to hear. He always pretend to know about the regime’s nuclear project but ultimately he will fail at…
Iranian opposition reported the regime’s cooperation with Korea ….

Giving Iran a nuclear capability of any of kind—‘peaceful
purposes’ or otherwise is a bad idea. And for the United States of America, who used to act as the world’s conscience, to act as the chief architect of negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran is an abomination.
“This is a bad idea. It’s a very bad deal,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his speech to the United States Congress on March 3, 2015. You know Bibi is on to something when bi-partisan members of Congress, not to mention Saudi Arabia, agree with him.
After missing two previous deadlines for a nuclear agreement,the US led negotiators, which includes United Nations Security Council permanent members Britain, China France, Russia plus Germany, announced in April they reached a “framework deal” with Iran. The deadline for finalizing this framework, built on an Iranian house of cards, is June 30th.
A deal that rubberstamps the mullah led Iranian regime of “death, tyranny, and the pursuit of jihad,” as Netanyahu described it.
Iran must “promise” to reduce the number of centrifuges used to enrich uranium into fuel for nuclear weapons from 19,000 to 6,000 and cut its stockpile of enriched uranium by 97%. The mullahs must also pledge (promise) to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct inspections of its nuclear facilities, which it already declared military sites (where it builds nuclear weapons) would be off limits. Finally, if Iran “claims” it will do these things, all economic sanctions will be lifted. Easy peazie!
A little more than two weeks before the June 30th deadline to finalize the deal, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei must be salivating. Secretary of State John Kerry declared these restrictions will slowdown the time it takes for Iran to build a nuclear weapon from a few months to a year. But the deal boils down to “take Iran’s word for it,” trusting a murderous repressive regime, fearless in its quest for world domination won’t go nuclear. “If Iran cheats, the world will know,” Obama said. Not when Iran can lie about every aspect of this flimsy deal.
Iran wants carte blanche removal of economic sanctions and the US and world to butt out of its nuclear business no questions or inspections asked. What Iran wants, Iran gets with a US president Barack Obama determined to reduce America’s presence in the world.
No wonder most rational world leaders express grave concerns about this deal, if not reject it outright. National Council of Resistance of Iran will focus its annual conference “United Against Islamic Fundamentalism and Terrorism” held in Paris June 13, 2015 on the dangers of a nuclear armed Iran. Each year the conference draws lawmakers and dignitaries from more than 60 countries gather together to call for democracy in Iran and an end to its Islamic extremist regime that supports terrorism.

In April, NCRI President Maryam Rajavi testified before the House Subcommitttee on Terrorism, Non-proliferation and Trade on the rise in Islamic fundamentalism and ISIS. Mrs. Rajavi called Iran the “epicenter” of oppressive Sharia law in the Middle East. Under her leadership, NCRI alerted the world to Iran’s clandestine nuclear program.
As Obama looks forward to making history with a lawless regime, politicians across the political spectrum from the US, Europe, Canada, Middle East, Australia, Asia and Africa will meet in Paris to once gain sound the alarm on Iran. “China, Russia and Iran are taking advantage of American retreat to assert political and (perhaps eventually) military dominance over their corners of the globe,” argued the Wall Street Journal.
Notice China’s Supreme Leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladamir Putin are fierce supporters of the world’s most hostile regimes: Syria and Iran. Putin recently sold Iran anti-aircraft missiles. To quote Miranda in Shakespeare’s the Tempest, “O brave new world, That has such people in ’t!” We should all be afraid, very afraid of “the dangerous new world order that Mr. Obama is leaving his successor.”

Letter from Iran

One of my dear friends wrote me a letter from Iran and wanted me to publish in my web.
He lives in one of the largest city in Iran- Isfahan …
I have read his letter for many times which has influenced on me…

I am one of the Iranians who is under the pressure and tyranny of Iranian regime. While the number of the execution has been risen up and there is no freedom of expression, you are our voice there. We are trapped in the big prison named Iran. Sometimes we don’t have anything to eat and I remember we didn’t eat chicken for the New Rouze. This is the reality of Iran. I want to tell the governments, stop negotiating with Iran. They never stop their activities for making nuclear weapon because they see their power in. so support Iranian resistance to help Iranian people instead of wasting time with negotiating. I appreciate everyone who takes part in the Great Gathering on June 13th. I wish I could be there… but I follow you up on TV that day…

End nuclear project

Referring to last month’s extension of the nuclear negotiations with Iran, the Iranian regime doesn’t stop their nuclear project.
Tehran’s nuclear weapons program will be continuing to do exactly the things that the whole world would not want to be doing…
The ayatollahs are on a clear path to their 30 year objective of getting deliverable nuclear weapons. The talks that have been going on have achieved nothing to slow that down!!!
If you think an acceptable agreement has been reached to protect against is the risk of violation.'
Underscoring the nuclear revelations by the main Iranian opposition; North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile experts visited a military site near Teheran.
It has revealed that seven officials from the North Korean Defense Ministry were in Iran the last week of April
And the third time in 2015 that a North Korean delegation had visited Iran!!!
Massoud Jazayeri, deputy IRGC commander said: We will not allow any visits to military sites, whether they be limited, controlled, unfree or in any other form!!!
Western powers want the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit military sites to check on past activities that could indicate attempts to build an atomic bomb…
France has specifically warned against the blocking of a final nuclear settlement over the issue of granting access for inspectors to all installations, including military sites.

Will the regime in Tehran fall?

There have been many resistance movements through history. Some have work, others not. No one would have foreseen the Berlin wall would fall and the Soviet Union would have disappeared. Who is confident that at some point that the regime in Tehran will also fall?
There is some reasons  and must be said confidently that the mullahs’ religious dictatorship ruling Iran will not last in the 21st Century and will be overthrown. It really begs logic to expect this religious dictatorship which is the founder of terrorism and fundamentalism in the whole of the region and is seeking nuclear weapons to take international policy hostage to continue and endure. The reason is that the Iranian people reject this regime. According to official internal assessments by the regime, more than 95 percent of the Iranian people reject this regime. The mullahs are engulfed in crisis. The crisis of legitimacy, crisis of leadership [reflected in] a schism at the pinnacle of the regime, an economic crisis, the nuclear crisis and the crises in Syria and Iraq, and Yemen which have frightened and shaken the regime. And in the face of it, there is a legitimate and powerful resistance with popular base which can, with the help of the Iranian people, overthrow this regime. Thus, relying on these factors, because this resistance is the harbinger of a free, prosperous, peaceful Iran; an Iran which seeks the promotion of fraternity, equality and peace in the entire region; [a resistance] which is particularly the harbinger of a bright and democratic Islam, Right now, the region and the world is grappling with the danger of fundamentalism and this danger is growing by the day. And its antidote is a cultural one. The Iranian Resistance is the cultural antithesis this religious and fundamentalist dictatorship whose tentacles are spreading to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the region and the horn of Africa and is challenging the international community, facing it with a crisis. For this reason, when such a resistance with such ideals, with such a platform, with the message of freedom and democracy, gender equality, a non-nuclear Iran, in the face of a religious, fundamentalist regime, exists, this regime will be overthrown and that the Iranian people will experience freedom, democracy and equality because they are worthy of it and when that day comes, the region and world will be more secure and will not have to deal with the cancer of extremism and fundamentalism incited by this regime in different form and in different places because when its fountainhead dries up, this phenomenon will cease to exist… History has proven that whenever a nation is resolved and able to pay the price of its decision, it will certainly succeed….

Camp Liberty residents tell their plight to Al-Arabiya TV

Al Arabiya
June 4, 2015

Sabriya and Shokriya Shafabin tell their story

Al Arabiya: Before it leaving Iraq, the United States asked Iraq to guarantee the security of Iranian refugees in Camp Ashraf, but Nuri Maliki’s forces attacked this camp several times and resorted to a massacre of the residents.

Shokriya: In Ashraf we said that Ashraf is like a mini Iran. All Iranian ethnicities are present; the Baluchis, Kurds, Fars and there really is no difference between them. Ashraf was a small size Iran and a model for the Iran of the future.

My life in Ashraf was beautiful. We had a library, stadium, swimming pool and university. I learned Arabic in Ashraf´s University in Iraq. People are close to each other and love one another. There is a fine human relationship between the people. I made many friends there, especially my dear friend Faezeh Rajabi who became one of the martyrs of the April 8, 2011 attack. She was Kurdish and had come to Ashraf from Iran.

Sabriya: I learned from my father about the resistance and I decided to come to Ashraf. I was in Ashraf for 12 years and in Camp Liberty for three years. In this process that I was in Ashraf and Camp Liberty, regrettably there were five criminal attacks by Iraqi mercenaries on the orders of Maliki and the Iranian regime. They attacked both Ashraf and Liberty. Most of my friends were killed in these attacks. Young women like Asiyeh Rakhshani, Faezeh Rajabi, Rahman Mannani, Hanif Emami and others; I don’t remember all the names now.

On April 8, or to be more exact since April 2, Maliki’s elements were ready to attack Ashraf. It was on April 2 that we faced Iraqi BMPs that came to Ashraf. Since I knew Arabic, along with a number of my other sisters, we went to talk to them and ask why they have brought these tanks to Ashraf. They said that they do not know and are just following orders and that we should ask their commanders.

Iran: 27 prisoners about to be executed

Iran: 27 prisoners about to be executed

On June 6, over 20 prisoners in Ghezel Hessar Prison of Karaj were transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for their execution. The criminal special guards of the prison savagely battered and injured some of these prisoners who resisted and forcibly transferred them to the solitary confinement. The prisoners were not even given time to bid farewell to their cellmates.Additionally, on the previous day, seven prisoners condemned to death were transferred to solitary confinement in Adel-Abad Prison of Shiraz.
The fact that the Iranian regime resorts to this criminal and utterly cruel trend betrays regime’s fear of the escalating protests in cities nationwide that have become a nightmare for the regime.
