International news has overshadowed the presentation to the Council of Human Rights of the latest reports on Iran.

While in Geneva, the President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI) , Maryam Rajavi , asked for an independent investigation into the attacks that have targeted the camps Ashraf and Liberty in recent weeks.

“Switzerland should be at the forefront ,” she has said. Jean Ziegler and Bernard Kouchner supported her.

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) continue their struggle against the clerical regime.

Behzad Naziri, NCRI representative to the UN bodies in Geneva , said he was sickened by “inaction and blindness ” of the international community.

He explains “They present Rohani as a moderate, but 687 official executions has been carried out in 2013, two-thirds were carried out under his presidency.”

“Public hangings are not intended to punish but to intimidate the population so that does not rise up.”

“The opening of the system to the outside has led to a hardening of the regime inside ,” says the NCRI representative .

Several human rights organizations want the question of violations of human rights in Iran be referred to the Security Council.
