More International Support to the Ongoing Uprising in Iran

Written by Hamideh Taati

As the nationwide protests in Iran continue there have been further international reactions to the regime’s brutality in oppressing the Iranian people, and the people’s bravery in continuing their protests.

On Thursday, November 21, 2019, the United States Vice President Mike Pence voiced Washington’s support for the Iranian people’s uprising.

“As Iranians take to the streets in protest, the Ayatollahs in Tehran continue to use violence and imprisonment to oppress their people. The United States’ message is clear: the American people stand with the people of Iran,” he said.

Andrew Sheer, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, emphasized his support for the Iranian people and called on the Canadian government to blacklist the regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) which is suppressing the Iranian people. “Conservatives stand in solidarity with the people of Iran who are bravely confronting their tyrannical government. I continue to call on Trudeau to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity and impose Magnitsky sanctions on Iran’s human rights offenders,” he wrote on Twitter.

Anna Fotyga, Member of the European Parliament from Poland and the former Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, condemned the Iranian regime crackdown on protesters and expressed her full support for the Iran protests.

“1/2 I strongly condemn the lethal force used by the regime in Teheran against the people of Iran. The democratic world cannot cooperate with the regime responsible for the death of more than 100 people. Barbaric pacification of protesters and shutdown of the internet shows that the regime.” She added, “2/2 trying to secure its personal power and weather has abandoned the people of #Iran. The personal responsibility of Ayatollahs and members of the Revolutionary Guards for the bloodshed is clear and justice will be delivered. I call the VP/HR for strong and firm action.”
