Mr. Bahador Kiamrzi on his father in Iran's prisons

"When I was a child, I was in prison with my mother. I had never seen my father. Once, I was told I would get to visit him. But I only got to peek at him through the frame of a cell door."

Mr. Kazem Panahi, former political prisoner in Iran

"The regime lobbies outside Iran to launch a demonization against the MEK.. The goal is to simply say that there is no democratic alternative to the regime."

French human rights lawyer Henri Leclerc

"Regarding Iran, there’s a chain of crimes against humanity. Not only those who have been executed, but those who have disappeared... Executions are still ongoing in Iran."

Geoffrey Robertson, QC, human rights barrister

"I interviewed 40 survivors of the 1988 massacre, and I was staggered by my findings. I described it as the worst crime against humanity since the concentration camps of the Second World War."

Former Italian FM @GiulioTerzi

"The crimes of the ayatollahs against the Iranian people, starving the people, terrorizing the people and the nations of the region, these are the reasons we need action now."

British MP @steve_mccabe

“We know who the oppressor is and what must change. You can’t lock up everyone and murder everyone. Freedom survives and the tide is changing."

Former European Parliament VP @VidalQuadras

"Why is the int'l community, the UN, the UNHRC, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the European Union, why all these organizations, so many govs, are so hesitant to do what they should do?"

Former UN official Taher Boumedra

"It is naïve to believe the mullahs would investigate themselves... Let’s warn the UN that enough is enough. The regime will not investigate its own crimes."

Amb. Lincoln @LBJunior

"I have studied the allegations against MEK & NCRI, and they were not supported by credible evidence... Why do they want to discredit the MEK? To keep a weak and illegitimate regime in power."

Former Norwegian MP @larsrise

“Those who stand for truth and justice will prevail in the end. Tehran is using the Nazi philosophy and spreading propaganda across the world."

Sir Geoffrey Bindman QC

“Among the relevant human rights abuses of the regime is the 1988 massacre which remains unpunished after 32 years, and the recent carnage in the 2019 protests, in which 1,500 people were killed."

Amb. @kenblackwell

"We must expose this regime and their reign of terror with what we can. We must demand that the world court tries these criminals for their crimes against humanity."

Baroness Boothroyd

"Free & democratic Iran is within reach. That is why I stand with you all, the people of Iran, the NCRI, and I call on my gov to stand on the right side of history & recognize @Maryam_Rajavi & the NCRI.”

Italian Senator @LucioMalan

"There is no reason for the UN to lift the arms embargo on Iran. It is irresponsible to trust the regime to act responsibly. The Iranian regime has cheated about the [2015 nuclear deal]."

Belgian MP @ElsVanHoofcdenv

"Men & women are rotting in cells because they have a different opinion. This must not be tolerated in the 21st century. I wish you victory in your struggle for human rights in Iran.”
