The Italian Committee of Parliamentarians for a Free Iran has recently issued a statement denouncing the new wave of executions in Iran, particularly targeting political prisoners. The parliamentarians also emphasized the urgent need for international attention and intervention.
According to the statement, the Iranian regime is resorting to a campaign of terror through executions in an attempt to suppress the ongoing popular uprising that began in September. The statement reads that within the past four weeks alone, there have been at least 112 recorded executions. Such alarming figures highlight the severity of the situation and demand immediate action from the international community.
One of the cases highlighted in the statement is the execution of three young protesters in Isfahan on May 19. The victims, Saleh Mirhashmi (36 years old), Majid Kazemi (30 years old), and Saeed Yaqoubi (37 years old), were specifically targeted for their involvement in the protests that took place in November. This tragic incident is described as just one of the many crimes committed by Khamenei’s regime to maintain its grip on power.
The statement further elaborates on the repressive tactics employed by the Iranian regime. The judicial system, based on an arbitrary interpretation of religion as a tool of absolute power, has charged these individuals with “Moharebeh,” an offense that exists only within a totalitarian framework. The statement highlights that the regime has systematically subjected political prisoners to physical and mental torture, a deeply disturbing practice that persists even in the face of domestic and international protests. The victims in this case reportedly endured months of torment before their eventual execution by hanging.
In light of these grave human rights violations, the Italian Committee of Parliamentarians for a Free Iran, aligning with the appeal made by Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), urges the Italian government, the United Nations, the European Union, and its member states to take decisive action. The statement calls for strong condemnation of these executions and the adoption of effective measures to exert pressure on the Iranian regime.
The statement emphasizes that the ongoing spiral of repression perpetrated by the Iranian regime amounts to crimes against humanity, violating established norms of international law. It underscores the shared responsibility of the international community to address these atrocities and protect the fundamental human rights of the Iranian people.
In conclusion, the statement by the Italian Committee of Parliamentarians for a Free Iran raises serious concerns about the escalating wave of executions in Iran, particularly targeting political prisoners. It calls for immediate international attention and intervention to prevent further human rights abuses. The urgency of the situation necessitates a united front from the global community to condemn these executions, support the demands of the Iranian people for freedom and respect of their fundamental rights, and work towards a more just and humane society in Iran.
