Iranians in Romania hold human rights display

NCRI – Iranians in the capital of Romania on Saturday held a human rights stand to expose the flagrant rights abuses committed by the mullahs’ regime in Iran during the two year tenure of Hassan Rouhani.

The human rights display in central Bucharest drew locals who were told of the more than 1800 executions carried out in Iran since Rouhani became president of the regime.

Supporters of the main Iranian opposition group People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, PMOI (Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK), informed local Romanians of the democratic platform of the Iranian Resistance.

A statement by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein on August 5 said: “Iran has reportedly executed more than 600 individuals so far this year. Last year, at least 753 people were executed in the country.”

The Iranian authorities are believed to have executed an astonishing 694 people between 1 January and 15 July 2015, Amnesty International said on July 23, in an unprecedented spike in executions in the country.
