NCRI – “Groups affiliated to the Iranian regime have plans to
manipulate the result of upcoming elections in December in Iraq,” said
Jean-Pierre Lano, General Secretary of the Swiss association for
education, training and freedom in a rally in Geneva.
The groups plan to use forged ballots or force people to vote for their
list of candidates, Lano said and added that they would in the next
stage swap the sealed ballot boxes with the ones filled with favorable
ballots previously.
He made these remarks in a rally organized by supporters of the Iranian
Resistance outside the European Headquarters of the United Nations in
Geneva on Tuesday. Demonstrators condemned clerical regime’s meddling
in Iraq and called for closure of torture centers in that country set
up by mullahs’ agents.
The participants also called for immediate release of two abducted
members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, Messrs. Hossein
Pouyan and Mohammad-Ali Zahedi, who were taken by elements acting as
members of the Iraqi Interior Ministry’s Special Forces back in August.
A delegation representing Iranians in the rally delivered a letter to
officials of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
containing their demands. The delegation was received warmly at the
UNHCR and they were assured of close consideration of their demands. |
