The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) Women’s Committee published a series of articles about women who died during the 1988 Massacre of 30,000 MEK political prisoners. Mrs. Fereshteh Akhlagh shared the story of Fatemeh (Razieh), Ayatollah-Zadeh Shirazi, with the NCRI Women”s Committee for the January 12, 2021 installment of Stories of Women’s Resistance. Shirazi’s story is summarized below.

(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): US officials have “high confidence” that an Iranian regime antiaircraft missile brought down a Ukrainian passenger jet near Tehran, resulting in 176 deaths

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) has reported that Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 had just departed Tehran on January 8, 2020, when it exploded in midair, killing all 176 passengers and crew on board and crashed into a field in Iran.

(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Iranian regime fired missiles on a civilian airplane killing 176 innocent people.

A year ago on January 8^th, 2020 176 passengers and crew on Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 lost their lives when their plane was shot down by two missiles launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

(PMOI / MEK Iran): Assadi’s trial, a sentence is due to be handed down to Assadollah Assadi on 22nd January.

The trial of an Iranian diplomat accused of plotting a terrorist attack against the Iranian opposition, The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the  Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI / MEK Iran), on European soil started at the end of November last year. During the trial, it became very clear that the Iranian regime really is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): The results of the court hearing and trial could resonate and send shock waves through Iran’s elite as several of the 1988 era thugs involved in the massacre are now part and parcel of the mullahs’ regime.

It is 32 years since over 30,000 Iranians were massacred by their own government for their allegiance to the opposition organization, the  People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran). Since then, the people who were responsible for the fake trials and executions have for the most part either faded from sight or given influential jobs within the Iranian regime.

Independent Investigation into Iran’s 1988 Massacres Requested by the British Government

The British government has raised the matter of the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran with the Iranian regime as a result of a letter released by seven United Nations human rights experts in September this year.

(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): You’ll notice that she didn’t mention Iran, which is one of the leading state-sanctioned human rights abuses in the world.

The  People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), reported that the European Commission proposed an EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime in October to streamline the process of sanctioning human rights abusers in all parts of the world, with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen citing previous problems in responding to abuses in Belarus, Turkey, and Russia as evidence for why it is needed.

(PMOI / MEK Iran): We know that the Iranian regime sees silence on the part of the international community as a weakness. It exploits this weakness and becomes even more emboldened because it is left to act without being challenged.

On Wednesday 16^th December 2020, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 67^th resolution, drawing attention to the Iranian regime’s major violations of human rights, in particular the violations that are carried out against the people of Iran.

(PMOI / MEK Iran): MP Blackman said that the conclusion of the report is fair when it states that the people of Iran are the main victims of the Iranian regime and that the United Kingdom must support those that are on the receiving end of the regime’s violence.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), reported that the House of Commons’ Foreign Affairs Committee of the UK government published a report recommending that the British government proscribe Iran’s notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization.

(PMOI / MEK Iran): Zam’s execution triggered condemnation from several European countries as well as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Iran and the Special Rapporteur on Summary Executions.

On December 12, Iranian journalist Ruhollah Zam was executed by the Iranian regime for publishing a new site that was critical of the regime. Zam was given political asylum in France in 2014 but was lured to Iraq last year, kidnapped by Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) forces, and brought back to Iran to stand trial.
