The Iranian Resistance called on the UN Secretary General, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Council on Human Rights and the Security Council to condemn the brutal and medieval stoning punishment. It called for implementing immediate and binding measures against such unbridle and degrading punishments by the ruling religious fascism in Iran.
Although Mr. Jafar Kini’s stoning in Qazvin was not an isolated event in recent years, but it is the first time since the mullahs’ regime officially admits committing such crime to create popular fear and intimidation as well as repressing the increasing uprising and demonstrations in the society. A number of other prisoners are awaiting the cruel stoning as their punishment. The growing number of executions and stoning which have nothing to do with Islam, in addition to expanding terrorism and fundamentalism to Iraq, and attempts to obtain nuclear weapons are the means for the decaying regime to continue its existence.
The Iranian Resistance again calls on the international community and in particular the European Union that dealing with a criminal regime which tortures its own people, holds hostage the countries of the region, and threatens the world peace is against the Iranian people’s interest. Critical Dialogue, Engagement Dialogue, and dialogue on human rights or any other form of negotiating with the Iranian regime to give it a moderate face have been doomed to failure. It is time that the international community hears the call by Iranian people for implementing a firm policy vis-ÃÂ -vis the regime and recognizes their inalienable right for a regime change in Iran.
