Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>), welcomed<\/a> the United Nations\u2019 adoption of the 67th resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran. But stressed that those responsible for the atrocities listed in the resolution are the same ones who have been committing crimes against humanity in Iran for over four decades now, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massacre of 30,000 political prisoners<\/a> in 1988, which has been the subject of enforced silence for 30 years<\/li>
The violent suppression of an uprising in November 2019<\/a>, which left 1,500 dead, 4,000 wounded, and 12,000 arrested<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
She explained that because the regime doesn\u2019t pay attention to the UN General Assembly\u2019s resolutions \u2013 this is the 67th one after all \u2013 the regime\u2019s human rights dossier must now be referred to the UN Security Council so that the regime\u2019s leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei<\/a>, President Hassan Rouhani<\/a>, and Judiciary Chief Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, can be held accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rajavi said that even though the resolution contains just a fraction of the mullahs\u2019 crimes, it makes it obvious that the regime is the world leader in human rights violations. She said that its denial of the Iranian people\u2019s fundamental rights mean that the regime is not compatible with this century and must be banished by the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While welcoming the adoption of the 67th UN resolution condemning #HumanRights<\/a> violations in #Iran<\/a>, I reiterate that the clerical regime\u2019s leaders must face justice for 4 decades of crimes against humanity, and their immunity must end. #NoImpunity4Mullahs<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/rJ8mQGfNnI<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/sTDUbr0L0Z<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) December 16, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
