Several Members of the European Parliament, joined by other dignitaries from across the Green Continent, attended a conference in the EP headquarters in Strasbourg, calling for a strong European approach vis-a-vis the Iranian regime’s human rights violations and warmongering. This session, organized by the European Parliament Friends of a Free Iran Intergroup and held on Wednesday, October 23, also called for accountability of Iranian regime officials in regard to the 1988 massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners in Iran. Most of these victims were members and supporters of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). “The Iranian regime has been the source of instability as the doctrine for its survival. The Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and its terrorist proxies fight in different Middle East countries. The mullahs have formed close alliance with Russia, North Korea, and the Bashar al-Assad dictatorship in Syria. The majority of people in Iran live in poverty. More prisons are built full of dissidents. Europe is largely responsible for this sad situation. The situation must stop for the sake of the people in the region. We must press the European Union to adopt a firm policy toward this regime.” #FreeIran
