Mr. Jones and Mr. Blackman emphasized that the Iranian people were severely suppressed under the regimes of the Shah and the mullahs and that as a result, they have explicitly rejected any form of dictatorship. This is echoed in the slogan of “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Leader (Khamenei)” by protesters in all Iranian cities.

 

"It is absurd to think that the people of Iran, who sought freedom above all else, would return to a past in which they were oppressed and denied their fundamental freedoms," they said.

The signatories of the statement urged the UN, its member states, and other international organizations to condemn the killing of demonstrators in Iran, to ensure free internet access for Iranians, and to ensure that any dialogue or dealings with the Iranian regime are contingent on the release of those arrested during the recent uprising. The visit demonstrates the international community’s continued support for democracy and human rights in Iran.
