The Iranian regime’s dossier of human rights abuses should be referred to the United National Security Council, and its militia expelled from Iraq and Syria, more than 100 members of the Council of Europe have demanded.
The members also expressed their support for the 10-point plan of Mrs Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), for a free and democratic Iran.
They also called for any nuclear agreement with the regime to include full implementation of Security Council resolutions and acceptance of the Additional Protocol, and for Iranian dissidents at Camp Liberty in Iraq to be recognised as refugees under the supervision of the UNHCR, and for the medical and fuel siege on the camp to be ended.
They wrote in a petition published on the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE) website: “The improvement of human rights and stopping Iran’s meddling in the region and sponsorship of terrorism are prerequisites of a relationship with Tehran.
“The human rights situation is deteriorating in Iran alarmingly according to the December 2014 UN General Assembly resolution, the UN Secretary General, and the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights. More than 1200 individuals have been executed under Rouhani. Women have been severely attacked with acid or knives by government-backed gangs.
“Economic lifelines are monopolized by the Revolutionary Guards and Iran’s wealth is devoted to nuclear projects or to meddling in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon, resulting in the massacre of innocent people. Crimes perpetrated by the IRGC Quds force have resulted in the growth of ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
“We support the 10-point plan of Maryam Rajavi, the NCRI’s President-elect, who calls for human rights, separation of religion and state, gender equality, the abolishment of the death penalty, respect for international conventions, and a non-nuclear Iran.”
