Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: Installing as President a Mass Murderer and a Criminal Against Humanity Reflects the Regime’s Desperation, Foreshadows the Overthrow of the Ruling Theocracy.

At the end of the Iran regime’s sham election, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI) announced that less than 10 percent of the eligible voters cast their vote in the sham presidential election. The assessment was based on the reports of more than 1,200 journalists and reporters of INTV (The Iranian Resistance Satellite TV channel) from 400 cities in Iran and more than 3,500 video clips from deserted polling stations.

The clerical regime is multiplying the vote tally by a factor of five in a futile attempt to lend legitimacy to a mass murderer as the regime’s president. Engaging in the astronomical fabrication of the tally in the so-called “Otaghe Tajmi’e Ara” (where the votes will be aggregated) has been a routine in the regimes’ elections in the past, especially in 2009.

In this regard, the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran(NCRI) issued a statement and announced the remarks of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the NCRI.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said the following after the regime announced the results of its sham presidential election:

Despite astronomical rigging and falsifying the vote tally, the dimensions of the popular boycott were so extensive that the regime succumbed to announcing a lower than 49 percent turnout, plainly admitting that the majority of Iranian people boycotted the sham election and testified to its illegitimacy.

The astronomical fraud and the five-fold multiplication of the vote tally in the dark rooms of “vote counting” does not fool anyone in Iran, nor does it change the truth.

Ebrahim Raisi, the henchman of the 1988 massacre and the murderer of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI), is Khamenei’s final bid to preserve his regime. Installing a mass murderer and a criminal against humanity as the regime’s president, is a sign of desperation that the regime has reached the end of the line and faces overthrow. Raisi must be brought to justice in an international tribunal.

There is no longer any justification for the international community to engage or appease a regime whose president is one of the worst criminals against humanity in modern history. The world must stand firmly against the ruling religious fascism, and in solidarity with the Iranian people and their demand for the overthrow of this regime and the establishment of a democratic republic.
