For the second time since he became president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi has been forced to cancel a visit to Europe due to widespread protests and a demand for his arrest under the law of universal jurisdiction. Dubbed ‘The Butcher of Tehran’ for his direct involvement in the ex*****on of political prisoners in an infamous 1988 massacre, Raisi was forced to pull out of a planned visit to Geneva where he had hoped to address the UN Global Refugee Forum, which began on Dec. 13. Raisi was one of the members of a series of Death Committees, set up by the then Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Under a fatwa issued by Khomeini, the death committees were ordered to execute more than 30,000 political prisoners in 1988, most of them members and supporters of the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran/Mojahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK).

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) released a statement on Saturday condemning the imminent visit to Geneva by Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi and announcing plans for a mass demonstration outside the 2023 Global Refugee Forum. The statement referred to Raisi’s participation in that forum as “a stain in the history of the UN” and “an insult to human rights, the sacred right to asylum, and all the values for which contemporary humanity has sacrificed tens of millions of lives.”

European lawmakers and foreign policy experts are expected to take part in that demonstration alongside Iranian expatriates, many of whom have lost loved ones or otherwise been directly impacted by Raisi’s role in crackdowns on dissent dating back to the early days of the Islamic Republic.

The sense of outrage over Raisi’s invitation to Geneva is amplified by the fact that the event in question was organized by the UN High Commission for Refugees at the same time as the UN Human Rights Council is still investigating the crackdown that was sparked by a nationwide anti-government uprising in Iran last year. Human rights experts continue to condemn an ongoing surge of ex*****ons while acknowledging that it is certainly motivated by the regime’s desire to terrorize the public and discourage further public expressions of dissent.

Ebrahim Raisi, Iran’s president and implicated in the 1988 massacre, attending the Global Refugee Forum in Geneva sparks outrage. Critics label it an insult to human rights, the right to asylum, and tarnishing the UN’s history. Raisi’s association with the “death commission” responsible for the 1988 massacre raises concerns about impunity. A demonstration by freedom-loving Iranians and NCRI supporters is scheduled for December 13, 2023, in Geneva, demanding Raisi’s arrest and prosecution. International condemnation highlights ongoing crimes against humanity, urging a comprehensive investigation into Raisi’s role. The Iranian regime’s brutal suppression, terrorism, and warmongering draw global condemnation, emphasizing the need for accountability.

National Council of Resistance of ( ) Holds Biennial Session, Resistance Units are organized by the main opposition . They conduct countless acts of protests daily and organize anti-regime protests and demonstrations.

PARIS, FRANCE, December 31, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held its biennial session in Paris on December 27 and 28, 2021. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the NCRI’s President-elect, presided over the session.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, flights cancellations, and other protective restrictions imposed to prevent the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, NCRI’s members in various countries and Ashraf 3 in Albania attended the session virtually.

On the first day of the meeting, a number of supporters and allies of the NCRI were present as observers, and some of them also spoke.

In her opening remarks, Mrs. Rajavi said the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei installed Ebrahim Raisi, the henchman of the 1988 massacre, as president (in 2021) and subsequently intensified repression, arrests, ex*****ons, and pressure on political prisoners. However, despite extreme challenges and the severe impacts of the Coronavirus disaster on the Iranian people over the past year, a major uprising has broken out in Iran every four months, signaling a powerful undercurrent that propels a vast and organized rebellious force. As such, widespread and unannounced arrests forced confessions obtained under torture, and the demonization campaigns against the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI) and the NCRI – as the only democratic and independent alternative – have proven ineffective and futile.

Resistance Units are organized by the main opposition MEK. They conduct countless acts of protests daily and organize anti-regime protests and demonstrations.

As Vienna Talks, Enter Eighth Session, Regime Demands Show Signs of Escalation, Toward that end, the US and the E3 signaled that the current round of negotiations would be among the last unless recognizable progress was achieved.

PARIS, FRANCE, December 30, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an article on its website, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), wrote that as negotiations to restore the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) entered their eighth session on Monday, skepticism about their prospects continued to grow.

The seventh session began on November 29 following a gap of more than five months and continued through the first week of December with little, if any, progress. In fact, officials from the United States, Britain, France, and Germany all indicated that Iran’s posture in those talks had actually undermined earlier progress by backtracking on points that had supposedly been agreed to over the course of six sessions between April and June.

Toward that end, the US and the E3 signaled that the current round of negotiations would be among the last unless recognizable progress was achieved.

PARIS, FRANCE, December 27, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In their Friday prayer congregation on December 24, the prayer leaders again displayed their fear of the organized opposition, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), and a looming uprising due to the social and economic crises, according to an article by Mansoureh Galestan of the NCRI.

The congregations serve as a platform to state the ruling regime’s official policies vis-à-vis current issues facing the country.
