Press Release: Call for Action in Wake of Unprecedented Human Rights Abuses in Iran

Thursday November 20, 2014 - 11:05:00 PM

The Iranian American Community of Northern California will hold a Picket-Line in Berkeley on Saturday November 22nd to oppose the horrifying human rights condition in Iran and especially the high number of public executions 

November 18 2014, The United Nations voted to condemn Iranian human rights abuses and singled it out for executing upwards of 1,000 political opponents and prisoners in the past year. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, welcomed the United Nations General Assembly Third Committee’s adoption of 61st systematic violation of human rights in the Iran. “This resolution leaves no doubt that the appalling human rights record of the clerical regime must be referred to the Security Council for the adoption of binding and punitive measures and that those responsible for 120,000 political executions should face justice,” she said. 

We call on all freedom loving people to lend us a helping hand to expose the atrocities of the Iranian regime and to support democratic change in Iran, by the people of Iran and their organized resistance movement. 

Date: Saturday November 22 

Time: 11AM to 1PM 

Place: UC Berkeley entrance - corner of Telegraph and Bancroft
