INU -A statement declaring support for Iranian people’s uprising, and their continued resistance for freedom and democracy, was issued by the Italian senate majority in the run up to the Iranian Grand Gathering in Paris on June 30, 2018. European countries and the international community have been called on to take a tough stance on the Iranian regime, and condition further
relations with the Iranian regime on it ending torture, execution, terrorism, its missile program, and its interference in the region.
Eleven board members signed the statement, including one deputy chairman, two moderators, and eight secretaries of the Italian senate.
The statement is reproduced below:
It’s nearly four decades now that the religious dictatorship ruling Iran has been denounced for its continuous and gross violation of human rights. More than 120,000 of Iranian defenders of democracy and human rights along with some of their family members have been arbitrarily detained, put under barbaric tortures and even executed. More than 30,000 political prisoners were massacred in the summer of 1988 only for their objection to the religious dictatorship and support for the NCRI opposition movement. Amnesty International has referred to the massacre as a crime against humanity, calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. According to the UN reports, the Iranian regime is the world’s record holder of per capita execution rate.
Despite such oppression, however, the world witnessed a new wave of Iranian people’s uprisings and protests throughout January 2018, which soon spread to more than 140 cities across the country. Iranian people’s nationwide slogans, including “moderates, conservatives, the game is over”, “down with Khamenei and Rouhani”, “not Gaza, not Lebanon, my life only goes to Iran” and “let go of Syria, think of us”, clearly show their demand for regime change and termination of regime’s terrorism and warmongering in regional countries.
