Press release
Following the sham elections in Iran, there have been widespread demonstrations and protests around the country. The widespread arrest of young protestors and opponents of the regime in Tehran and most other cities which began on Saturday has gained new dimensions. Thousands have so far been arrested, dozens killed and many injured. The mullah’s regime opened fire on the peaceful demonstration of a nation who only cried for freedom and democracy in Iran.
In solidarity with the Iranian people in their struggle against the dictatorship in Iran, the Free Iran Group (Ireland) will be holding a peaceful rally opposite the Iranian embassy in Blackrock on Thursday, 16th June 2009 at 14:00 to 16:00.
What we want:
1. Regime change in Iran. After 30 years of dictatorship, the Iranian regime is constitutionally, and ideologically incapable of reform. 8 years under the presidency of Khatami, a “reformist”, has shown that a leopard never changes its spots and ultimately the power lies with the supreme leader and the president is just a puppet.
2. Free elections in Iran under the supervision of the United Nations. Under the mullah’s rule, all candidates of presidential elections have to be qualified by the Guardian Council in order to run in the elections, which rules out any candidates independent of the Velayat-e-Faqih. The people are left to choose between bad and worse. Even then as the recent election has shown, people’s votes mean nothing and they will bring whoever benefits them at the time.
3. Prosecution of leaders in the International Criminal Court. 120,000 have been executed including the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988. 100 types of inhumane torture are used in Iran’s prisons. Those responsible must be held accountable for crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.
