  By Sadegh Pashm-Foroush The day after the announcement of the results of Iran’s sham presidential election, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei summoned the remaining members of the government of former regime president Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19. In his remarks to them—indirectly addressing new regime president Massoud Pezeshkian—he warned him and reminded him of the “model” of the president in the regime. The supreme leader repeatedly mentioned Raisi and said, “He is truly a model; we must all learn from him.” He then reiterated the concept of “heartfelt belief and practical commitment” to the regime, which Pezeshkian, like all the election candidates, had committed to. Khamenei stated, “Dear Raisi demonstrated as a model that one can possess these mental, heartfelt, and practical qualities as the president of a country and follow them in practice.” Of course, before the sham election, Pezeshkian repeatedly stated that he would continue Raisi...

Mrs. Rajavi Welcomed Swedish Court Verdict as a First Step In the Path of Full Justice, Reiterating That Prosecuting Khamenei and Raisi and Other Perpetrators of 1988 Massacre Is Now More Imperative Than Ever

  • In the face of the regime’s hostage-taking and blackmail and to avoid the very trap the Belgian government fell into, Sweden should immediately put on its agenda the prosecution of Raisi, as the executioner of 1988, for committing genocide and crime against humanity
  • More than 1,000 political prisoners tortured by Khomeini’s regime are ready to file complaints
  • In 92 sessions, the Swedish court dealt with only one prison out of more than 100 prisons where the massacre took place
  • The extensive legal, political, and informative campaign of the Iranian Resistance in the past 33 months and the verdict handed down by the court defeated the Ministry of Intelligence’s conspiracy and its agents to divert the Justice Movement against the MEK.
  • The trial would have turned out differently if some of the court sessions had not been held in Albania, and the documents that played a decisive role in proving Noury’s guilt and were cited repeatedly by the prosecutor did not exist

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), welcomed the conviction of Hamid Noury, one of the perpetrators involved in genocide and crimes against humanity in 1988, by the Swedish judiciary to life imprisonment and called it a first step in the path of full justice. She added that comprehensive justice, of course, will be achieved when the main perpetrators of the crime, especially Ali Khamenei and Ebrahim Raisi, and other perpetrators, are put on trial in the courts of a free Iran or international tribunals.

In 92 hearings, the Swedish court dealt with a number of events in only one prison (Gohardasht) out of more than 100 prisons where the massacre was carried out. The dossiers on the massacre in Evin and the enormous crime that took place in more than 100 cities, and on the heroic actions of women affiliated with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in the 1988 massacre and the executioners’ crimes against them should be opened.

Referring to the statements made five days ago by Hossein-Ali Nayeri, the head of the Death Committee in Tehran, who said that if there were no massacre, “maybe the regime would not have survived at all”, Mrs. Rajavi pointed out that the 1988 massacre is the story of the confrontation between the religious dictatorship and the PMOI/MEK, which the regime perceives as an existential threat. Khomeini’s fatwa to massacre all steadfast MEK members and sympathizers who refused to cooperate with the religious fascism and participate in its crimes still stands as a criterion for the regime’s action against the MEK and the Resistance. Their physical, political, and ideological elimination has always been at the top of the regime’s priorities.

Mrs. Rajavi added that the extensive legal, political, and informative campaign of the Iranian Resistance in the past 33 months and the verdict handed down by the court defeated the Ministry of Intelligence’s conspiracy and its agents to divert the Justice Movement against the MEK. The strong testimonies and convincing documents of the witnesses and plaintiffs, especially in Ashraf 3, played a decisive role in proving Noury’s guilt and prevented him from evading justice. In fact, the trial would have turned out differently if some of the court sessions had not been held in Albania.

Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that prosecuting Khamenei and Raisi is now more imperative than ever. In the face of the regime’s hostage-taking and blackmail and to avoid the very trap that the Belgian government fell into, the Swedish government should immediately order the prosecution of Raisi, as the executioner of 1988, for genocide and crime against humanity. More than 1,000 political prisoners tortured by the Khomeini regime, more than 900 of whom are in Albania, are ready to file complaints.

Iran’s Regime Naval Terrorism Warrants More Sanctions

  The   latest revelations   by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) about the Iranian regime’s dangerous attempts to disrupt international maritime activity should serve as a wake-up call for Western governments. Tehran has significantly expanded its maritime terrorism using foreign mercenaries from the Middle East and Africa, especially in Yemen. This shouldn’t come as a complete surprise. The economy is tanking, and the regime is facing a multitude of irremediable social, political, and economic crises at home and is unable to stem the tide of expanding and continuing protests virtually by every sector of the Iranian society. Since December 2017, there have been eight major nationwide uprisings, the common theme of which has been the popular demand to overthrow the regime. Furthermore, the elimination of the Quds Force commander  Qassem Soleimani  in January 2020 damaged the regime’s influence in regional hotspots like Syria and Iraq. Regrettably...

Iran: “Guards Beat MEK Supporters 3 Times a Day Before Giving Food,” Ex-political Prisoner Testifies at Hamid Noury’s Trial

  Written by  Sedighe Shahrokhi Every day, when the guards opened the solitary cells, they started beating the MEK’s prisoners,” Rahman Darkeshideh testified on Thursday, January 27, during  the trial of Hamid Noury , deputy prosecutor in the notorious Gohardasht Prison (west of Tehran), where thousands of political prisoners were massacred in 1988. Noury, an Iranian prison official, was apprehended in 2019 in Sweden. His trial began in 2020, and dozens of survivors of the 1988 genocide shared harrowing accounts of those dreadful days, mainly in Gohardahst prison, where Noury worked. Based on  a fatwa by the regime’s  founder Ruhollah Khomeini, the so-called “Death Commissions” sent thousands of prisoners to gallows after the victims refused to disavow their allegiance to Iran’s leading opposition group, Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK). The Iranian regime’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, was a member of Tehran’s “Death Commission.” Darkeshideh, Noury’s neighbor and a Ma...
