The main Iranian opposition coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has strongly condemned the presence of Hassan Rouhani, President of the religious fascism ruling Iran, in New York and at the United Nations General Assembly. The NCRI said on Sunday in a statement that Rouhani is among the most senior officials involved in the production of the nuclear bomb, 120,000 political executions, and warmongering and slaughter in the region. This regime does not represent the Iranian people and its leaders, from whatever faction, should face justice for crimes against humanity in Iran. Iran’s seat at the United Nations should be given to its people and their legitimate resistance.

Former U.S. ambassador to the UN human rights commission Ken Blackwell puts it correctly when he says that the trip next week by the Iranian regime’s president Hassan Rouhani to the UN in New York should be used to exert serious pressure on the mullahs over their atrocious human rights record.

Wisdom calls for tough policy in Iran – Ken Blackwell
Several weeks ago the United States of America finished negotiations with a mistrusting and hard to negotiate with partner in the form of the Islamic Republic of Iran, leading to a nuclear agreement that is met with skepticism by the allies of the U.S including Saudi Arabia and with outrage by Israel. Irrelevant to the way that the administration tries to portray the deal it is a bad one for the United States. The deal fails at its main objective of shutting down all pathways for Tehran reaching its dream of getting a nuclear arsenal. The method of keeping check on the regime and verifying their devotion to the deal is full of loopholes in light of the history of the regimes deception and concealment through the past two decades. The 24 day advance notice before inspection of the undesignated sites is simply illogical.

Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras was invited on Friday 28 August as a guest of honor to a meeting with Iranian youths in Germany. He is a former Vice-President of the European Parliament and the President of the international committee In Search of Justice (ISJ). After being warmly received by the audience which comprised mainly of the young generation of the Iranian Resistance he pointed out that the active presence of the youth in the endeavor to liberate Iran from religious tyranny carries a very important message: “It shows that this opposition, despite the brutal repression by the mullahs, has the amazing capacity to rebuild itself after each attack and consequently has a bright future.”
