NCRI – Jumana Mohamed Kheir, a representative of Syrian non-governmental organizations in the Geneva talks, in an interview with IranNTV (Simay Azadi), reiterated about the solidarity of the Syrian people with the Iranian people and brought up the issue of accountability for the crimes committed by the two dictatorships ruling Tehran and Damascus.

Kheir is the executive director of the International Institute for the Protection of Women. He said: “The crimes committed by the Syrian regime and the Iranian regime … will not lapse and as non-governmental organizations, we support the victims of these crimes in holding these regimes to account.”

Jumana Mohamed Kheir at the beginning of the interview, said: “I am the executive director of the International Institute for the Protection of Women and a Syrian civil society representative in Geneva; the Iranian regime is an enemy of the Syrian people, especially with the support of fundamentalist Shiite militias that kill women and children.”

She added: “The fact is, we in the non-governmental organizations, are calling for real engagement with the Iranian people and its civil society in all areas and away from any sectarian classifications.”

Jumana Muhammad Kheir, who is a witness of the 1982 Hama massacre that was carried out by the dictatorship of Hafez al-Assad, in response to a question regarding the accountability of the perpetrators of such crimes, said: “Crimes that were committed by the Syrian and the Iranian regimes … are crimes against humanity that do not lapse, and the victims must pursue the criminals. We in the non-governmental organizations hope they obtain their rights and we support them in the journey to achieving them. We condemn these crimes and we see similarities between the crimes committed in Syria and Iran. This is an opportunity for dialogue and alliance between the people of Iran and Syria, regardless of the unity that exists between their governments.”

The executive director of the International Institute for the Protection of Women, said at the end of the interview: “We tell Iranian our brothers and sisters we are of the oldest people in the region. A long-standing and diverse past has tied us to each other and we look to you to build a future based on justice and good neighbourliness, away from any sectarian categorization. We invite you to fight against the dissemination and spread of religious sectarianism in the region. Relations between peoples are based on mutual interest and politics not on the basis of religion and other categories.”

She ended: “Once again, we thank you for giving us as NGOs the opportunity to talk to the sister nation of Iran.”
