#Iran is planning new charge against Nazani Zaghari-Ratcliffe. From Nazanin’s life to nuclear weapons, we cannot negotiate with this regime. Lifting of sanctions encouraged the mullahs to think we do not care where they buy weapons from.

Obviously, this must change, and the UK should respectfully reject the EU’s approach on #Iran and join our American ally in exerting maximum pressure on the regime in Iran.

Sir Alan Meale
Our governments should insist that the UN Security Council adopts a resolution & imposes sanctions on #Iran. The leadership of the IRGC must be held to account for their actions in the last decades.

The evidence reported has not been denied by Iran. I have heard accounts of family members and survivors of the #1988Massacre, including a father who was told to pay for the bullets used to kill his daughter.

We are all aware there is overwhelming evidence on this crime. There is international law that can and must intervene.

There is growing evidence that #Iran is involved in warmongering & causing instability. I thank the NCRI for all their efforts here in Westminster. I will continue to support you.

Irish Senator @ivanabacik
As Amnesty International documented, Iranian authorities have treated the killings as state secrets. No official has been brought to justice.

It is appalling that 32 years after this atrocity, nothing has happened. It is appalling that the perpetrators are still out there.

I lost five of my mom’s relatives to the regime, including two aunts who were killed during the #1988Massacre. My mom’s brother was sixteen years old when he was taken and they never saw him again.

The UN General Assembly resolution should focus on setting up an independent investigation into this crime instead of calling on Iran to investigate on its own. We have to be realistic and take action.

It is important for the UK to stand with the families in Iran who suffered from the regime. It must stand against the ongoing crimes of this regime against the people.

The UK government must adopt a firm policy on Iran and put maximum pressure on the regime in all areas.

The int'l legal community upholds the rule of law and ensures it is upheld in every country. This means there should be an independent judicial system. There is no independent judicial system in Iran.

It is time that we in the EU and the UK send a strong message of solidarity to the people of Iran, and send a strong message of condemnation to the Iranian regime.

The realities on the ground in Iran require the attention of the international community. Iran cannot investigate its own crimes. I support the re-imposition of UN sanctions on the regime.

That 30,000 human beings were killed by the Iranian regime shows what the country’s leaders can do & will do when they believe they are above the law & when the international community simply stands by.

Malcolm Fowler, jurist
The atrocious crimes of 1988 matter. They mattered yesterday, and they still matter today. The flames are still being fanned by this violent regime. We must pursue the perpetrators.

Roger Lyons, former head of the MSF trade union
The #1988Massacre was not only a crime against humanity but also a campaign by the regime to annihilate the opposition. The mass executions were so horrendous that deputy supreme leader event protested.

So, #Iran's IRGC launches a drone attack in NE Syria, killing one American contractor and wounding several U.S. troops.

But MSM is hyped about a recent Saudi-Iran agreement and wants you to trust Tehran, the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism.

Think about that. ImageImageImage
Biden & his admin claim they "will take all necessary measures to defend our people."

However, "Iran has launched 78 attacks on US positions in Syria since January 2021" with minimum response from the Biden admin.

Why? To revive Obama's failed nuke deal.

US warplanes likely targeted
—Harabesh area of Deir Ez Zor, E Syria, near a military airport
—ammo depot of #Iran's IRGC militia near the former Nasr Center building
—site in the vicinity of Port Said Street in Deir Ez Zor center

Be on the right side of history. Be on the side of the Iranian people, not of the mullahs. Be on the side of freedom, not short-term economic opportunity.

Iranian women know all too well, as all freedom loving Iranians do, that their true emancipation, democracy, freedom and liberty will only be achieved by the overthrow of this regime in its entirety.

New book by @STRUANSTEVENSON

"Dictatorship & Revolution: #Iran- A Contemporary History"

#IranRevolution
#No2ShahNo2Mullahs
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
.@Mahifeh23
The most common slogan in #IranRevolution identified in these protests is “Death to the dictator!” and “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the mullahs!”
#No2ShahNo2Mullahs

@Mahifeh23 .@giannagancia
I would like to thank @STRUANSTEVENSON for his important new book. I think it's very important to fight against the theocratic regime in #Iran & it's important to wake up all the people about what really is happening in Iran.

THREAD

1)
With this thread I aim to raise attention about Twitter’s ongoing shadow-banning.

After a series of back-and-forth letters, @TwitterSupport informed me that my account “has been permanently marked as potentially sensitive.”

Any explanation? None.

@TwitterSupport @elonmusk @TwitterSafety @RichardGrenell @JessieJaneDuff @rising_serpent @skb_sara @AmandaMilius @joekent16jan19 @LeeSmithDC @AKA_RealDirty @DumisaniTemsgen 2)
It gets even more interesting:

“There is currently no way to appeal a decision by Twitter that permanently changes your account setting to Mark media you tweet as containing material that may be sensitive…” Image
3)
Through the years, Twitter has informed me of a few tweets they wanted deleted. I have complied every time.

My work focuses on Iran, the regime’s crimes and corruption, the West’s appeasement policy, and Iran’s network of apologists/lobbyists.

This has angered some people.
