However, the regime\u2019s security forces responded to defenseless demonstrators with live ammunition, killing at least\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/iran-protests-opposition-pmoi-gas-price-hikes-day-32-20191216\">1,500 protesters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a few days, the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other oppressive forces did whatever they could to stifle protests, according to the supreme leader\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/general\/who-is-irans-supreme-leader-ali-khamenei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ali Khamenei<\/a>\u2018s decree. They arbitrarily detained over 12,000 demonstrators, targeted protesters, and bystanders by heavy machineguns, snipers, and helicopters. However, they merely fueled the people\u2019s wrath against the entire regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his remarks at the NCRI virtual event, Geir Sigbiorn Toskedal expressed her solidarity with the Iranian people\u2019s desire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am glad to join you at this important conference to commemorate the November 2019 uprising of Iranian people. Moreover, support the Iranian youth who long for the day that they can freely express themselves without fearing persecution,\u201d Geir Sigbiorn Toskedal began his remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to emphasize that the Iranian population is among the youngest populations in the world with more than 40 percent born after the 1979 revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I want to say is that they were born and raised under the current dictatorship but on every occasion, they have shown their desire for freedom and democratic values that we cherish in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the past ten years, Iran witnessed major uprisings in 2009, in late 2017 and January 2018, and just last year in November 2019 followed by January 2020,\u201d Geir Sigbiorn Toskedal added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norwegian MP mentioned the bloody crackdown on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/protests\/45538-irans-november-protests-are-not-over\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November 2019 protests<\/a>, saying, \u201cThe deadliest attack on the yearning of Iranian youth for a better future in these three major events was last year when 1,500 protesters, mostly young people but including dozens of children were massacred in hundreds of cities across Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndiscriminate shootings by the regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards and security forces, including by snipers, created a shockwave across the world. However, I believe firmly that the international response to a crime of this magnitude was not adequate at all and we need to do a lot more. Re-imposing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/item\/washingtontimes-q-a-national-council-resistance-iran-acting-president-maryam-rajavi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UN sanctions<\/a> against this brutal regime is amongst them,\u201d Geir Sigbiorn Toskedal emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to convey to the Iranian people that I support their cause of human rights, <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2020\/07\/17\/live-freeiran2020-global-summit-iran-rising-up-for-freedom-resistance-units-key-to-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">freedom <\/a>and rule of law in a democratic republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it is shameful to try to legitimize this regime and I look forward to a day when all those sacrifices that the young Iranians have made, bear fruit and they can breathe freely in a free, democratic, and pluralistic republic,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHistory has shown that dictatorships can never outlast the desire of the people who want to be free.
