أجزاء صادمة من كلام شهود مذبحة صيف1988 مؤتمر في مبنى الأمم المتحدة – جنيف ، شباط 2018

كلام الشهود :

صورة لـ 14 من أفراد عائلتي

7 منهم أعدموا بفتوى الخميني في مذبحة عام 1988 مع أنهم قد حكم عليهم بالسجن .
كان بودي أن تكون امي على قيد الحياة ، وكانت قد جاءت هنا قبل 10 سنوات و تعرفك على كافة السجون التي دخلتها وشرحت لكم نوع الكوارث التي جاء بها النظام علي أولادنا إضافة إلى المصائب التي ساورت عوائلنا .

لم يقتصر الأمر على قتل أبنائنا فحسب ، بل قتلوا جميع عائلاتنا وأطفالنا وآبائنا وأمهاتنا ومارسوا التعذيب عليهم وقتلوهم بقرب اطفالنا.

كلام الشهود:
نحن لكنا نشكل عدد قليل من الالاف المؤلفة في إيران وهم ضحايا هذا النظام ، لكن أصواتهم ليست لتُسمع ، لأن النظام قتل اوضيع اولادهم واحبائهم ،لانه مرت سنوات والنظام يقتل ولا أحد يعرف كيف يُقتل هؤلاء الشباب. كان هناك الكثير من الناس في الخارج وعثر عليهم ميتين ، وقالوا إنهم إما قتلوا على يد مواطنين أفغان أو ….

كل هؤلاء كانوا من الشباب الأبرياء الذين لم يكن لديهم أي ذنب ، لقد قتلهم النظام.
كلام الشهود:

كان العديد من الآباء والأمهات يتعرضون للنوبة الدماغية في اللحظة التي سمعوا فيها إعدام أبنائهم في تلك اللحظة ، أو ماتوا في تلك اللحظة بالذات ، كان هناك الكثير من سوء الحظ في العائلات ، إذا كانوا هنا اليوم ، وكانوا يخبرونكم عما جري عليهم .

واكدت السيدة مريم رجوي الرئيسة المنتخبة من قبل المجلس الوطني للمقاومة الإيرانية في رسالة الها الي المعرض في بلدية الدائرة الأولى بباريس في هذا الصدد قائلة

أيها الأصدقاء الأعزاء،
تحياتي لكم جميعًا، أنتم الذين اجتمعتم لتكريم السجناء الشهداء الإيرانيين في مجزرة العام 1988 في إيران.

في عام 1988، وبالضبط في مثل هذه الأيام، كانت السجون في جميع أنحاء إيران في خضم مجزرة للسجناء.

وجاءت عملية الإبادة الجماعية على أساس فتوى صادرة عن خميني، مؤسس نظام الملالي.
ثم، في غضون بضعة أشهر، أعدم الملالي 30 ألف سجين سياسي شنقًا، بينما كانوا يقضون أيام عقوبتهم.

لقد مرّت الآن ثلاثون سنة.
لكن لم يتم نسيانهم بعد كل هذه الأعوام. بل، إنهم الضمير المستيقظ والنضالي للمجتمع الإيراني، ولهم تأثيراتهم. ويمكن رؤية هذا التأثير على مستويين:

من ناحية، في الحرب ضد النظام، فنرى هذه المعركة في حركة التقاضي. هذه الحركة اتسعت واستمرت منذ عامين. في هذه الحركة، حصل أنصار مجاهدي خلق على أدلة جديدة بشأن المجزرة. إنهم قد جعلوا الملالي في وضع حرج بشدة. كما لو أن هذه المجزرة قد حدثت للتو.

تحت هذه الضغوط ، دافع 20 من كبار مسؤولي النظام على الأقل عن هذه الجريمة.

Maryam Rajavi: Welcoming the Great Nowruz of Freedom

Hold Iran accountable for its abysmal human rights record

For all his claims of moderation, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has overseen a crackdown by Iranian security forces. The ranks of political prisoners have swollen since he took office. A shockingly broad range of “offenses” can lead to execution, and despite campaign-trail promises of a more open Iranian society, Rouhani has done nothing to curtail this trend. Well over 3,000 people were executed during his first term, some for “crimes” such as donating money to banned media outlets sympathetic to the main opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.

There are few limits on who can be put to death. Iran remains one of very few countries that still executes offenders under the age of 18 at the time of their arrest. This practice has continued during Rouhani’s tenure, and as recently as August, two juvenile offenders were slated for execution within a week of each other.

Iran: Regime officials looking to block access to Telegram from Iran

The Minister of Communication and Information Technology said on October 9, 2017, that they were pursuing a block on anti-regime (social media) channels, according to the state-run YJC website.
“The purpose of the counterrevolutionaries is to disenchant the people when it comes to the government which is in no way endorsed by us”, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi said in response to a question about whether Telegram should be shut down due to the activities of anti-revolutionary groups.
“We are insisting on the red lines,” said Azeri Jahromi…
“Of course, we are also vigilantly pursuing that (social media) channels that oppose the regime be blocked,” he added.

Ending America's Paralyzed Iran Policy

Decertifying the nuclear deal without walking away gives the Trump administration an opening to confront the Islamic Republic’s foreign meddling.

President Donald Trump is taking considerable heat for his expected announcement this week that he will “decertify” the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Critics say he is heedlessly discarding a deal that has been working, and needlessly putting America on a collision course with Iran.

As it turns out, Trump is actually not poised to “rip up the deal.” By decertifying it, the president and his advisors are, in fact, signaling their intent to strengthen it, with the help of Congress, so that the deal advances U.S. national security interests. Those interests are key criteria for the certification process, which takes place every 90 days, as laid out in the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA) of 2015. Right now, with the Iranians hindering inspection of military sites, working feverishly on their ballistic missile program, and banking on the nuclear deal’s sunset clauses, which all but guarantee Tehran an advanced nuclear program in roughly a decade, it’s hard to argue the deal is working for the United States.

Unbridled Fear grips hold of the Mullahs

A paralysing fear has gripped the autocratic clerical rulers of Iran, as they stare down the barrel of a belligerent American President Donald Trump decertifying the Iran Deal on October 12th, otherwise known as the JCPOA, and also face humiliating sanctions being heaped on their brutal and savage enforcers, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp ( IRGC), who face the ignominy of being labelled a Terrorist Organisation by the US Administration.

This juxtaposition of unwelcome events has caused horror and abject panic to set in amongst the Mullah Regime with Ayatollah Khamenei and President Rouhani both lashing out in public and on Twitter decrying and taunting Trump with words of venom and defiance, a sure sign that the 45th US President has got them rattled and on the run, with nowhere to hide from the Judgement that is coming on their Day of Reckoning on October 12th..

Trump should Formally Recognise the Iranian Resistance

Now is the decisive time for President Trump to formally recognise the Iranian Resistance, the National Council of Resistance of Iran  (NCRI), and officially invite their leader Maryam Rajavi and her delegation to the White House.By lending Legitimacy and Creedence to the Iranian Resistance, Trump will be metaphorically speaking plunging a dagger into the lawless Mullah’s hearts on the International scene.

The US Administration’s new strategy should be focused on Regime Change in Tehran and Official Recognition of the Iranian Opposition ( NCRI-U.S. Rep Office‏ ) as symbolic of Regime Change force, and the legitimate voice of the oppressed Persian people.The former US President Barack Hussein Obama abandoned and shunned the Iranian people when they last rose up in rebellion against the criminal Mullahs in 2009, to the eternal shame and dismay of the democratic  world, now is the vital time for President Trump to make official amends for this heartless and embarrassing faux pas by Obama and his discredited foreign advisers.

IAEA CHIEF CALLS FOR CLARITY ON DISPUTED SECTION OF IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

IAEA CHIEF CALLS FOR CLARITY ON DISPUTED SECTION OF IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

Iran, jcpoa, MEK, MaryamRajavi, PMOI, 1988Massacre, IRGC, FreeIran, 

VIENNA, Reuters, SEPTEMBER 26, 2017 - The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s chief urged major powers on Tuesday to clarify a part of their nuclear deal with Iran dealing with technology that could be used to develop an atom bomb, an area Russia said the agency should leave alone.The 2015 pact between six major powers and Iran restricts its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Compliance with those curbs is being verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano has defended the deal as a major step forward while declining to comment specifically on criticism of it by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has called the accord - reached by predecessor Barack Obama - “an embarrassment to the United States”.

But while Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, has infuriated Tehran by saying the IAEA should widen its inspections to include military sites, diplomats say Russia has been trying to restrict the agency’s role by arguing it has no authority to police a broadly worded section of the deal.

That section bans “activities which could contribute to the development of a nuclear explosive device”. It lists examples such as using computer models that simulate a nuclear bomb, or designing multi-point, explosive detonation systems.

Unlike many other parts of the deal, the provision, known as Section T, makes no mention of the IAEA or specifics of how it will be verified. Russia says that means the IAEA has no authority over it. Western powers and the agency disagree.

“Our tools are limited,” Amano told Reuters when asked if his agency had the means to verify Section T.

“In other sections, for example, Iran has committed to submit declarations, place their activities under safeguards or ensure access by us. But in Section T I don’t see any (such commitment).”

Amano said he hoped the parties to the agreement would discuss the issue in the Joint Commission, a forum created by the deal, adding that even a clearer definition of terms such as the technology referred to would be an improvement.

“More clarification would be helpful ... Russia has a different view. They believe that it is not the mandate of the IAEA. Others have different views and discussions are ongoing.”

 DIPLOMACY

 Trump has hinted that he may not recertify the agreement when it comes up for review by a mid-October deadline, in which case the U.S. Congress would have 60 days to decide whether to reimpose sanctions waived under the accord, known officially as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

 Amano repeated, however, that Iran was implementing its nuclear commitments under the deal. He said complementary access - often consisting of short-notice inspections carried out under the IAEA Additional Protocol, which Iran is implementing under the accord - was going smoothly.

“Complementary access in Iran is being undertaken without problem and the number of accesses is quite high,” he said.

When asked if a successful Iran deal could help encourage a political solution in nuclear-armed North Korea, to which the IAEA has no access, Amano said the two situations were quite different. But he added: “I also do not say that there’s no comparison, because in the JCPOA’s case, diplomacy worked.”

Bob Blackman MP: Securing international inquiry into the 1988 massacre will win over the Iranian people

Humanrights, Iran, PMOI, MEK, 1988Massacre, MaryamRajavi, 
The Iranian regime is being prosecuted for its crimes

Earlier in September, the UN Secretary General sent the latest report of the Special Rapporteur on Iran’s human rights to the General Assembly for discussion. The August 14 report provides a detailed account of a series of serious abuses that were carried out by the Iranian authorities in the past year year.

But this year's report is unique compared with previous reports because the Special Rapporteur highlights the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988. The report documents the direct involvement of senior Iranian officials and current ministers in carrying out and defending these mass executions as well as the authorities’ efforts to destroy evidence of mass graves and to harass, intimidate and prosecute those who seek truth and justice.

On September 21, the UN Security Council adopted a historic resolution proposed by the UK to bring Daesh to justice. According to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office statement, “the resolution was passed by the Security Council following a letter written to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres from the Iraqi Prime Minister and Foreign Minister requesting international support of Iraqi efforts to bring Daesh to justice.”

This shows that Britain is in a strong position to lead the demand for justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre in Iran, if it has the political will and moral courage.

Despite their claims of moderation and calls to action by the UN Special Rapporteur, neither Iranian President Hassan Rouhani nor Foreign Minister Javad Zarif are willing or able to make a similar request of the UN Secretary General regarding the 1988 massacre. In lieu of this, the Foreign Secretary, the Rt Hon Boris Johnson, could send a letter on behalf of the Government requesting international support of the efforts by the victims’ families and Iranian human rights defenders to bring the perpetrators of the massacre to justice.

Furthermore, the Government should work with its allies at the UN to ensure that any planned UN resolution on the human rights situation calls for an international investigation into these mass executions as a vital step toward holding the perpetrators to account and reaffirming our backing for the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran.

In the previous parliament, 80 MPs from multiple parties supported Early Day Motion 448, which urged the Government to “recognise and condemn this brutal massacre as a crime against humanity and ask the UN Human Rights Commissioner, Human Rights Council, the General Assembly and the Security Council to order an investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.”

In a press conference with his American counterpart in London on September 14, the Foreign Secretary said, “… we in the UK think it very important that Iran, that country of 80 million people, many of them young, potentially liberal, could be won over – could be won over to a new way of thinking.”

During the last presidential elections, Iranian society and particularly the younger generation demanded the prosecution of those responsible for the 1988 massacre, one of the worst crimes in the history of the theocratic regime. They would surely prefer Britain helping them secure justice rather than applauding Britain’s support for a fallible nuclear agreement that showers the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with cash and sanctions relief that the paramilitary force can use to further intensify the vicious domestic crackdown on human rights defenders and women’s rights activists under Rouhani’s tenure.

As the FCO Minister for Middle East, the Rt Hon Alistair Burt reminded the UN Security Council meeting in his statement on the adoption of the Daesh Resolution, “’The millstones of justice turn exceeding slow, but they grind exceeding fine.’ Those millstones have begun moving today.”

For Iranians for the pursuit of justice begun 29 years ago amid the “global denial” of these mass executions. Our government now has the means to help the Iranian people realise their destiny.

Iran's People And The Nuclear Deal

Humanrights, protest, jcpoa, FreeIran, MEK, MaryamRajavi, PMOI, 1988Massacre, 

This article shows that the only way to make sure of regime’s nuclear project is to implement the Security Council resolutions.

Discussions are continuing as we speak over the fate of the highly controversial Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Advocates and opponents are going the limits to present their case prior to the October 15th deadline when US President Donald Trump is due to determine the status of Iran’s compliance with the accord.

While this is a very important discussion, what unfortunately goes neglected is the status of the Iranian people who should be the first beneficiaries of such an accord that led to many sanctions being lifted from the Iranian regime.

A 1988 MASSACRE AND THE TRUTH ABOUT ‘MODERATE’ ROUHANI

A 1988 MASSACRE AND THE TRUTH ABOUT ‘MODERATE’ ROUHANI

jcpoa, Iran, protest, FreeIran, Humanrights, Iranian Opposition, 1988Massacre, MaryamRajav

By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh 

Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani is making a tactical shift once again. This time he is appeasing the hard-liners publicly and revealing the actual agenda of his administration after achieving the Supreme Leader’s economic objectives.
Rouhani used the UN pedestal last week to shower praise on Tehran’s theocracy. His stale slogans smack of desperation and deception.

Isolated and generally regarded as a pariah, the regime and its familiar figures try to stick to the same plot and project an image of a powerful and rational player.

Brush aside the forced rhetoric and the ugly truth reveals itself: A regime that has hanged over 3,100 people under Rouhani alone, securing the world record for the highest number of executions. Dozens of young people are among the victims, securing another record; the world’s last remaining executioner of children.
While the Islamic Republic attempts to portray having a democratic electoral system, Rouhani does not represent the overwhelming majority of the Iranian people. He represents the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the Revolutionary Guard Corps. His Cabinet consists of veteran intelligence and security officers with dark pasts. This includes his justice minister, Alireza Avai, who was involved in the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988.
Rouhani’s former justice minister, Mostafa Pourmohammadi was on the “death committee” for these executions and recently said he was proud to have carried out “God’s commandment” in 1988 against these activists from the Mujahedin-e Khalq, the leading opposition. Many of the relatives of the victims believe that Rouhani represents a gang of thugs and mass murderers, rather than the will of the Iranian people.
Tehran’s regional policy is no better, with military and missile budgets skyrocketing under Rouhani, leading to the regime’s belligerent agenda in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and other hotspots in the region.
No wonder the Iranian people want a new Iran, free from a regime that diverts their wealth and scarce resources toward suppression, missiles and terrorism.
As US President Donald Trump said in his address to the UN General Assembly last week, the regime’s main victims are the Iranian people. “The entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change,” he said.
And “change” was the message echoed by thousands of Iranian-Americans and their supporters who gathered outside the UN headquarters in New York to protest against rogue Rouhani’s presence last Wednesday.

They called for democratic change by the Iranian people and their organized opposition movement, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
Moreover, the protesters pointed to at least 11,000 recorded protests inside Iran against the regime over the past year as a sign of the Iranian people’s preparedness to implement democratic change.
A powerful message was delivered by NCRI’s President-elect Maryam Rajavi, who said: “It is time for the world community, especially western countries, to end appeasing the mullahs’ regime. Any diplomatic and commercial relations with the regime must be conditioned on a halt in torture and executions.”
Among the other speakers were House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), former senator Joe Lieberman, former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton, and former senator Robert Torricelli.
Congressman Engel said: “Change can come from within. There are many young people in Iran who have only known oppression. I want to pledge to you that I will work with all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, work with all the government officials, keep the pressure on the regime.”
Senator Lieberman called for investigations into the 1988 massacre: “It’s time for a truth commission in Iran the way there was a truth commission in South Africa after the end of apartheid.”
John Bolton said the “safest way to guarantee peace internationally, peace in the Middle East, peace for the people of Iran, is to overthrow this regime and have a free and fair election.” A memorial for the victims of the 1988 massacre was also on display at the rally.
Many of the suspected mass graves in Iran as a result of the massacre remain undiscovered. Tens of thousands of families are demanding answers. The international community should break its silence over the 1988 massacre.
Washington should lead the way. The first step is to establish an independent investigation. More broadly, as part of a new policy that rejects both appeasement and war, America should support the Iranian people and the organized opposition of Iran toward the ultimate goal of democratic change. This is the first time since 1979 that the White House, regional powers and the international community have had the momentum to exert the needed pressure.
A new Iran shines on the horizon. It shone brightly in New York. Let us hope it is shining just as bright for the White House.
