NCRI – Hundreds of demonstrators rallied at The Hague on Saturday, to protest the ongoing executions in Iran.
Those who gathered to stand in solidarity with the victims of the mullah’s cruel regime included members of the Dutch-Iranian communities and supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
They urged the Dutch government to condemn the executions and to call for an immediate halt to the executions and torture in Iran. They argued that any improvement of relations with the Iranian Regime should be conditioned upon an improvement to the human rights situation.
This rally, on August 20, was the latest in a long line on similar protests across Europe since an audio recording was released which proves the Regime’s involvement with the 1988 massacre.
Protesters from around the globe have called on the UN Security Council to prosecute regime’s officials responsible for the 1988 massacre in Iran. Last week dozens of protesters took part in a three-day hunger strike at The Hague, with similar demonstrations in London and Oslo.
These protests all coincide with the 1988 Iranian Massacre in which 30,000 political prisoners mostly members of the Iranian Resistance Force, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI)- were executed over that one summer.
Earlier this month, audio was released of a ‘Death Committee’ meeting which revealed that the Regime was indeed behind the massacre that they tried to erase from history. Many of the people involved in the massacre, described by Amnesty International as a crime against humanity, still hold high-ranking positions in the Regime today.
Since the beginning of August, the Regime has executed dozens of people, including 25 political prisoners of August 2. The total number of people executed in Iran during President Hassan Rouhani’s three-year rule is almost 3,000.
