 Iranian Resistance calls for referral of clerical regime's rights record to the Security Council
Demands regime's leaders to be tried in an international tribunal
NCRI - According to state-run Fars news agency, three young men were hanged in
Sabzevar (in north eastern Iran) yesterday. Two of the youths were 25
years old and another was 21 years old. One of the victims was accused
of injuring a member of Iran's security forces. Also, on December 18,
ISNA reported that two youths named Mohsen and Ali Babaipour were
hanged in Tehran's Evin prison while another man was hanged in public
in Tehran.
The executions were carried out only two days after the United Nations
General Assembly approved a resolution on December 16 condemning Tehran
for its continued brutal violations of human rights, including the
widespread execution of minors.
The Presidency of the European Union yesterday issued a declaration
expressing concern at the worsening situation of human rights in Iran.
The declaration stated: "The EU is deeply concerned that the human
rights situation in Iran has not improved in any significant respect in
recent years, and in many respects has worsened. Use of the death
penalty is frequent, including for minor crimes, and executions are
often carried out in public." The EU Presidency added in its
declaration: "Iran executed more child offenders in 2005 than in any
recent year. Freedom of expression is still severely restricted;
censorship of the internet and press is widespread."
The Iranian Resistance once again stresses the need to refer Iran's
human rights violations to the UN Security Council for adoption of
binding measures against the religious fascism ruling Iran. The
Resistance also calls for the leaders of the clerical regime to be
brought to justice in an international court for their crimes against
humanity. The Tehran regime's leaders are responsible for the massacre
of 120,000 political prisoners, the torture of 500,000 political
prisoners, the brutal suppression of women, and religious and ethnic
minorities, and assassination of thousands of Iranian dissidents and
foreign nationals in various countries around the world. They should
face justice for their crimes.
The clerical regime has ignored 52 condemnations in resolutions by the
United Nations General Assembly and the UNHRC and other international
condemnations and continues to conduct brutal executions and medieval
punishments. It is therefore imperative that the Iranian regime's
record of human rights violations be referred to the United Nations
Security Council.
