Supporters of Iran’s exiled opposition on Saturday demanded the prosecution of the Islamic Republic’s newly-elected President Ibrahim Raisi, whom they accuse of crimes towards humanity, in Berlin and elsewhere on Saturday.
Flag-waving demonstrators rallied at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and different locations as a part of a Free Iran World Summit, with speeches by former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
In a keynote speech, the chair-elect of Iran’s National Resistance Council, Maryam Rajavi, accused Raisi of being a “henchman” accountable for the 1988 bloodbath of 30,000 political prisoners.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have mentioned Raisi’s election was a blow to human rights and referred to as for an investigation into his position in what he and Washington have referred to as the extrajudicial executions of hundreds of political prisoners.
Iran has by no means accepted mass executions and Raisi has by no means publicly addressed allegations of his position. Some clerics have mentioned the trials have been truthful, praising the “elimination” of armed opposition within the early years of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
In a web based tackle, Pompeo described the Iranian presidential election as “indeed, a boycott and the regime knows it”. “It’s a show that the whole world has seen,” Pompeo mentioned.
He denounced Raisi as a pacesetter who had been elected on behalf of democracy by Iran’s supreme chief, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “to inflict pain, intimidate, plunder and plunder”.
Iran hit again, with a Foreign Ministry spokesman accusing it of “bought out Western politicians”, together with Pompeo, of promoting itself cheaply “of a Europe-hosted circus once arranged by a Saddam-backed terrorist cult with Iranian blood on its hands.” for.”
“The insatiable thirst of $$ and anti-Iran obsession fuels shameful Western hypocrisy,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatebzadeh wrote in a tweet.
Western politicians purchased (together with) # lie stealing Pompeo) with Iranian blood on his palms sells himself cheaply to a Europe-hosted circus organized by a once-Saddam-backed terrorist cult.
$$’s insatiable thirst and anti-Iranian obsession are driving shameful Western hypocrisy.
