Iran :Second Massacre by Iranian Regime in Aleppo

Giulio Terzi: Aleppo is the shame of global policymakers

Former Italian Foreign Minister, Ambassador Giulio Terzi has written an article after fall of Aleppo down about the rule of Iranian regime in this war . He wrote on this article:

The fall of Aleppo will go down in history as the shame of global policymakers

In the summer of 1988, 30,000 political prisoners, mainly activists of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), were massacred across Iran. The reaction by the West was total silence. Now, many of the Iranian beneficiaries of that silence are masterminds of the atrocities in Aleppo, with Russia as their accomplice. 

In the other part he wrote:

Former Italian Foreign Minister: Doing Business With Iran Is Too Risky

With the city of Aleppo now almost completely overrun by forces loyal to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, social media has made the carnage obvious. Western politicians cannot claim to have not known about it.

They saw the footage of poor Syrian children running for cover, mothers crying for their loved ones, indiscriminate bombings. And the response: No action. Total indifference. This will go down in history as the shame of global policymakers.READ MORE

Human Rights in Iran cannot be compromised for Trade and Big Economic Contracts

Mayor Dirk Claes : Human Rights in Iran cannot be compromised for Trade and Big Economic Contracts

NCRI - On Friday- 21 October 2016 Mr Dirk Claes mayor of Rotselaar city in Belgium presided over a meeting of Belgian Committee of Parliamentarians and Mayors for a Democratic Iran, following is the text of the speech.
Ladies and Gentlemen
Thank you for coming to this meeting today which I have organized as the mayor of Rotselaar. I have been the mayor since 1995. For those who have come here for the first time, Rotselaar is located in the Belgian province of Flemish-Brabant and is famous for holding one of the biggest festivals in Europe. Around 300, 000 people from all over the world come here for our music festivals every year.

As the mayor I am responsible for security (police, fire service and mobility), personnel, administration and organisation, festivities, honorary and legal affairs, and tourism.
I have been following the situation of Iran for many years. When I was in the Belgian parliament (Chamber) and then in Belgian Senate, we organized several meetings on human rights in Iran. We formed a group called: Belgian Committee of Parliamentarians and Mayors for a Free Iran.
After I left the Belgian senate I have continued to lead this committee and I am happy to have found so many Iranian friends who are in exile and are working for democracy and human rights in their country.
As you all know, Iran is a religious dictatorship. After the fall of the Shah in 1979, Iran jumped from bad to worse. Ayatollah Khomeini came to power and he formed the Islamic Republic of Iran which is the first and only Islamic state in the world today.
After a brief period of freedom, Khomeini began the repression and executions. As many as 120 thousands have been executed. I have seen a book, volume 1, which includes the names of 20 thousands who have been hanged. Most of them belong to the opposition PMOI (MEK) which is a Muslim force but anti-fundamentalist and believes in a tolerant Islam, separation of religion and state and gender equality.
I have been working with PMOI (MEK) and their supporters for the last 14 years. They have suffered very much under the mullahs. They also had over 3000 of their members in the neighbouring Iraq in camps Ashraf and Liberty which were frequently attacked by agents of Iran. We in Belgium campaigned for their rights. For example I began a petition for Ashraf residents which over 300 Mayors in Belgium from both Flemish and French speaking cites signed it.

I am glad that recently these Iranian refugees in Iraq have been transferred to safety, most of them are now in Albania and some other European countries.
The main reason that I called for this meeting today was to commemorate a crime against humanity in summer of 1988, when over 30, 000 political prisoners, mostly from PMOI (MEK), were executed by the order of Ayatollah Khomeini. Many of them were serving their prison sentences and were supposed to be released soon. They were buried in mass graves and so their families did not know where to grief for their loved ones. We have a witness here today, a mother, whose son Mehran was executed in 1988. She will speak to us later.
Khomeini’s deputy who was supposed to be his successor, was Ayatollah Montazeri who protested publicly to these mass executions.
After 28 years, after that massacre, a new audio file was released by the son of Montazeri in August this year. In this audio tape, we can hear Ayatollah Montazeri, meeting members of the Death Committee in Tehran who ordered the executions in the capital. Montazeri is telling them that you will be called as the biggest criminals in the history and is appealing to them to stop the executions. He mentions that young girls and even pregnant women were executed.
This 40 minutes conversation with the so called death committee, was recorded a few days after the start of the massacre.
It is interesting to note that one of those members of that Death Committee is the current Minister of Justice in the government of President Rouhani who pretends to be a moderate! This person has said that he is proud to have carried out the executions.

Iran: Kurdish youths and students call for condemning the 1988 massacre

Kurdish youths and students call for condemning the 1988 massacre

NCRI - In a call on Wednesday October 5, a group of youths and students in Kurdestan province (Western Iran), while paying homage to the martyrs of the 1988 massacre and condemning this inhumane crime by the Iranian regime, have pointed to the achievements made in the past two months by the International Movement to Obtain Justice for the Victims of the 1988 Massacre in Iran.
announcing their support for the movement as well as the call by mothers of martyrs and political prisoners in this regard.
Parts of this call are as follows:
The main cause of the problems in the Iranian society is nothing but the religious dictatorship. A problem which has turned into a dilemma for the Iranian people, the region and the whole world.
In this situation, the Mullahs’ regime has turned into more oppression, torture and daily executions, among other things, in order to continue their reign.
During the past three decades it has been proven that no solution from inside the system is conceivable. Rather, the solution should come from outside of the system, namely by the people and their organized resistance.

Position on Australian Trade Minister's trip to Iran

Position on Australian Trade Minister's trip to Ira

NCRI - The following is a quote attributable to Shahin Gobadi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI):
"The planned trip to Iran by Australia’s Minister for Trade is taking place while the human rights situation in Iran is drastically deteriorating. There have been more than 2,700 executions during Rouhani’s tenure as President. Even though the mullahs’ regime remains the world’s top executioner per capita, this frightening figure represent a major increase in comparison to previous periods. The suppression of religious and ethnic minorities, women and other strata of society is getting far worse. Some 25 members of the minority Sunni population were collectively hanged in a single day in August. Several weeks ago, the regime’s Supreme Leader issued a fatwa banning women from cycling in public.
The trip take place after the emergence of an audio tape for the first time after 28 years of Mr. Hossein-Ali Montazeri, Khomeini’s former heir in 1988, revealing the massacre of political prisoners. In the summer of 1988, based on a fatwa by the regime’s founder Khomeini, some 30,000 political prisoners, primarily activists of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), were massacred in the space of a few months and secretly buried in mass graves. The tape contains the audio of Montazeri’s discussion with members of the “Death Commission” in Tehran who had been appointed by Khomeini. Based on corroborated and proven information, dozens of the main perpetrators of the massacre are today high office holders within the regime. Among them is Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, Rouhani’s Justice Minister, who on August 28 publicly defended his role in the massacre.

IRAN MARKS ANNIVERSARY OF 1988 PRISON MASSACRE WITH IMPUNITY AND SILENCE
Wednesday, September 07, 2016
By Violet Rusu
Autumn approaches, bringing with it the 28th anniversary of the Iran prison massacre of 1988—another year passing without any acknowledgement of the atrocity from the Iranian regime. An estimated 30,000 political prisoners were executed over the summer of 1988 in one of the worst stains on the Islamic Republic’s record, which is saying something. The regime worked meticulously to keep the massacre under wraps, banning prison guards from contacting their families, carrying out executions in secrecy and often leaving no witnesses alive. This means that the exact number of deaths may never be known. To this day the massacre—one of the worst in a long line of crimes in Iran met with total impunity for its perpetrators— remains relatively unknown in the West.
Most of the Iranian citizens executed were leftists opposed to the regime’s brutal ruling tactics, many of whom supported the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. The massacre began in July 1988 after the regime's founder, Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa ordering the summary execution of political prisoners, particularly PMOI supporters.
