Nationwide uprising in Iran – Statement 62
Regime forms 3-man committee to deal with detainees of uprising
NCRI – Mullah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi, the notorious head of the regime’s Judiciary, has set up a three-man committee to deal with those arrested in the course of the Iranian people’s nationwide uprising. The regime’s state television said on Monday that the committee would consist of Prosecutor-General mullah Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi, General Inspection Organization Director Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, and First Deputy Judiciary chief Ebrahim Reissi.
This new committee is reminiscent of the “Death Committee” founded by Khomeini in 1988 which in the space of a few weeks ordered the execution of 30,000 political prisoners. Pour-Mohammadi and Raissi were both members of the “Death Committee”. Pour-Mohammadi, a former Interior Ministry under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was at the time of the massacre a deputy Intelligence Minister and played the greatest role in carrying out Khomeini’s order for the massacre of political prisoners.
Dorri-Najafabadi, a former Intelligence Minister, is responsible for many killings and crimes in this regime, including the chain murders of political opponents in the late 1990s which took place while he was minister. All three members of the new committee have committed crimes against humanity.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, warned of the possibility that detainees of the Iranian people’s uprising would be executed and said that the mullahs’ Supreme Leader is trying to save himself and his regime from the people’s wrath through executions, killings, and spread of fear and terror. Mrs. Rajavi called on the UN Secretary General and Security Council to condemn the crimes of the mullahs’ regime and refer the criminal file of those responsible for executions, killings and suppression, which include Ali Khamenei, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Shahroudi, Dorri-Najafabadi, Pour-Mohammadi and Raissi, to an international tribunal.
Mullah Ahmad Khatami, a member of the mullahs’ Assembly of Experts, in a sermon on June 26 said those arrested had “waged war on God”, and he urged the Judiciary to execute them.
