NCRI, November 10 – In a conference in Dallas on November 4, Iranian
regime’s efforts to export fundamentalism and terrorism was condemned.
Homira Hisami, chair of the association for Iranian community in Dallas
deplored Ahmadinejad’s recent remarks which called for destruction of
states and destabilization of Muslim and Arab states in the region and
elsewhere. She described his comments as “revolting” and urged the U.S.
administration to de-proscribe the Iranian Resistance as the main
opposition movement to the clerical regime in Iran.
“In the wake of Ahmadinejad’s belligerent remarks, there is no longer
any justification to keep the Iranian Resistance in the State
Department’s terror list. It is utterly inappropriate and sends a wrong
message to the fundamentalist regime ruling Iran,” Hisami told
reporters in the conference.
She reiterated that proscription of the Iranian Resistance as an
umbrella organization for opposition groups in Iran including the
People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), was a move to appease
the mullahs’ regime, a failed policy which eventually led to hard-line
domination in Iran.
Since the election of Ahmadinejad last June there has been a sharp
increase in suppression inside Iran and the number of executions
increased significantly. In a recent report by the Amnesty
International the high number of executions in Iran was criticized in
particular execution of juveniles.
