Iranians all over the world have embarked on a global campaign to expose the mullahs’ President Hassan Rouhani who has drastically stepped up human rights violations in Iran since he took office two years ago.
Iranians have been rallying outside government ministries and United Nations offices in various European and North American countries in recent weeks urging the international community to focus on Iran’s appalling human rights record.
The mullahs’ regime in Iran continues to execute more of its citizens per capita than any other U.N. member state. Some 2000 people have been executed under Rouhani’s watch in the past two years.
Victims of the execution spree during Rouhani’s tenure include dissidents such as supporters of the main Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, PMOI (Mujahedin-e Khalq, MEK) as well as ethnic and religious minorities.
