NCRI – Iranians living in Paris held a protest on Wednesday to denounce the trip to France by the Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
The supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) protested against the widespread and arbitrary executions in Iran and the mullahs’ continued interference in Syria.
There were mock displays of executions and imprisonment.
The Iranians chanted that Zarif is a representative of a terrorist regime that systematically violates human rights. They paraded and trampled over photographs of the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani.
Representatives of Franco-Iranian associations and human rights organizations participated in the rally in Paris’ Place de Panthéon while Zarif was in the French capital.
French speakers at the rally included Governor Yves Bonnet, former director of the French internal security service DST; Pierre Bercis, honorary President of the French human rights group Nouveaux droits de l’Homme (New Human Rights); and Emmanuel Poilane, chairman of France Libertés-Fondation Danielle Mitterrand.
A number of international media organizations were present and gave coverage to the rally.
Despite the world powers’ nuclear deal with the Iranian regime, Rohani’s government continues to torture and hang prisoners. Iran remains the number one state executioner per capita. The mullahs’ regime is also the main backer for Bashar al-Assad’s regime which is massacring the people of Syria on a daily basis.
Zarif is the representative and instrument of the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in his extremist agenda.
Participants in the gathering joined the 270 Members of the European Parliament who called last week on EU countries including France to condition the continuation of relations with Iran’s regime to a halt to executions. The protesters also urged the international community to put an end to interference by the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards in Syria.
They also declared their support for the “Free Iran” grand gathering scheduled to take place in Paris on July 9.
