Louis Freeh urges global accountability for Iranian regime crimes at the Free Iran 2026 Summit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Addressing the Free Iran 2026 World Summit<\/a> in Paris on June 21, 2026, former FBI Director Louis Freeh delivered a speech highlighting the urgent need for personal accountability for the Iranian regime\u2019s long record of state-sponsored terrorism and human rights violations.<\/p>\n
Drawing on his experience as both a former prosecutor and FBI Director, Freeh stressed that members of the Iranian Resistance attending the summit should be regarded not simply as participants, but as key witnesses whose testimony provides important evidence of war crimes. He urged the international community to move beyond political rhetoric and place legal accountability at the forefront of its response. Recalling his own professional experience, Freeh noted that the MEK\u2019s terrorist designation was ultimately revoked because no credible evidence supported it. He also cited his role in prosecuting those responsible for the Khobar Towers bombing as an example of how future cases involving Iranian regime officials should be pursued.<\/p>\n
Freeh also voiced support for Mrs.\u00a0 Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0 Ten-Point Plan<\/a>, particularly its emphasis on securing justice for political prisoners killed in past massacres. He concluded by stating that holding regime officials individually accountable for their actions must remain a fundamental priority in the international community\u2019s approach to Iran.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pleasure to be here with you and all of my colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Madam Rajavi, always an honor and privilege to see you.<\/p>\n<p>[It is] very disturbing to see a video like that as someone who spent many, many years in law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>But in our law enforcement systems, including the one here, we have what\u2019s called personal accountability, which means that complaints, evidence, and allegations against law enforcement officers and government officials are taken very seriously at some point.<\/p>\n<p>What I want to talk about today\u2014and I\u2019m so happy to see our Ashraf friends and colleagues here\u2026 Let me tell you why I\u2019m particularly happy to see you.<\/p>\n<p>As a former prosecutor, I see you as the key witnesses and evidence that will hold the people in Iran who have been running this terrorist regime personally accountable.<\/p>\n<p>And that is what I want to talk about briefly. We\u2019ve not talked about this yet at this session: personal accountability.<\/p>\n<p>The 14-point MOU, the G7 statement\u2014you might have seen it in \u00c9vian\u2014they talk about freedom in the Strait of Hormuz, but they don\u2019t talk about freedom for the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ironic in a sense because in 1938, at that same place, \u00c9vian, the allies convened, pre-World War II, at the request of President Roosevelt of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>And the issue was: who will protect the Jewish refugees that were trying to flee from Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n<p>They had a meeting for two or three days. Great speeches; everybody had something to say.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the conference, not one single country, except the Dominican Republic, agreed to take any of the Jewish refugees.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was that fatal for thousands and thousands of people and families, but it sent a message to the Nazi regime that the allies didn\u2019t care, or at least were not even focused on the problem of personal accountability and protection of victims.<\/p>\n<p>The 14-point plan, for whatever it\u2019s worth, doesn\u2019t mention, doesn\u2019t even reference, political and public executions. It doesn\u2019t talk about the safety and protection of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p>If you tell somebody that help is on the way, you have to show, at least in a memorandum of understanding, that you believe that some help and protection is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Now, conversely, Mrs. Rajavi, in your Ten-Point Plan, in point three, first you affirm the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and then you say, \u201cseeking justice for massacred political prisoners\u201d is one of your essential core points.<\/p>\n<p>Not revenge, but seeking justice and holding people personally accountable for war crimes, murders, and state-sponsored terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>I first got involved and first heard of the MEK, by the way, when I was in my former government job, and we read one day that the White House had designated this organization as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p>We thought it was very interesting because no one had asked the FBI, which is the primary domestic counterterrorism organization, to give any opinion or review on the organization.<\/p>\n<p>And the reason was there was absolutely no factual basis for that designation, as was found out when it finally was about to go to court and the Secretary of State, the White House Counsel, and the Attorney General decided they would delist the organization\u2014not out of generosity of spirit, but because they had no evidence.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-87689 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Former-FBI-Director-Louis-Freeh.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"508\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Former-FBI-Director-Louis-Freeh.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Former-FBI-Director-Louis-Freeh-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Former-FBI-Director-Louis-Freeh-768x390.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What we can do looking forward, beyond the 14-point plan, beyond all the hopes and expectations, is look to the future and start organizing ourselves so we can hold war criminals personally accountable for crimes.<\/p>\n<p>We need to talk about that more. We need to have that in our talking points.<\/p>\n<p>You know, when they blew up the Khobar Towers, which of course was the IRGC working with the Saudi Hezbollah, we ended that phase by indicting 14 individuals who were responsible for the murder of 17 Americans and hundreds of other people, including many Saudis.<\/p>\n<p>That indictment still sits on the docket in the Eastern District of Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>Someday, somewhere, those 14 people, to the extent that they\u2019re still alive, will be held personally accountable for those murders and those acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>But, ladies and gentlemen, that case just doesn\u2019t even compare to what we hear and what we see.<\/p>\n<p>We saw that video this afternoon, an incredibly moving and powerful video of these victims, who are also witnesses, by the way. That\u2019s testimonial evidence that can be used in a court of law under totally proper due process.<\/p>\n<p>There are millions of crimes, brutal crimes, serious crimes, that have been committed by active members of the current regime in Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>And I think, as Mrs. Rajavi, you have in your Ten-Point Plan, I think our governments, and more importantly, the free Iranian people\u2014which will be realized someday\u2014need to have accountability and hold people personally responsible for these crimes.<\/p>\n<p>And that ought to be one of our major talking points. That\u2019s something we shouldn\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former FBI Director Louis Freeh calls for
