Iranian Resistance President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi described the unprecedented increase in mass and arbitrary executions in various cities across Iran as the religious dictatorship’s utter fear of increasing social unrest and escalating popular protests.
“An increase in vicious executions has come at a time when two weeks ago the mullahs’ regime staged a rocket attack against Camp Liberty and was on the verge of killing refugee members of the Iranian Resistance. During the past week at least 30 prisoners in different cities of Iran were mass executed and in some cases hanged in public. 16 of these prisoners were executed on Sunday, July 17th alone,” Mrs. Rajavi said.
“All signs indicate the mullahs’ weakness and utter fragility more than ever before, and it being terrified of its indispensable toppling. This is the same fear that the regime showed hysterically in response to the grand annual gathering held by the Iranian Resistance. During the past few days Tehran has summoned representatives of foreign governments, made ridiculous threats and launched a choir of senior regime officials in all its propaganda organs in this regard,” she added.
The increasing trend of executions, especially one year after the signing of the nuclear agreement, once again proves the defeasance of the reform theory inside the regime. This also shows that the appeasement policies encourages this medieval regime in its criminal policies.
Dealing with and appeasing this regime at a time when mass executions, warmongering and its export of terrorism to regional countries are on the rise is considered practical collaboration with the mullahs, Mrs. Rajavi underscored as she called on the United Nations Security Council and member states of the European Union to strongly condemn these criminal executions and adopt effective measures against Tehran. All economic and political relations with the mullahs must be conditioned on abolishing all executions and improving the human rights situation in Iran, she added.
