2) Prof. Rita Süssmuth
German Federal Parliament Speaker(1988-1998)
The people of Iran are suffering from coronavirus & the brutal dictatorship. The execution of Navid Afkari has made it clear what an inhuman & extremist rule's Iran. #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
3) Prof. Norbert Lammert
Former Bundestag President
Execution of Navid Afkari & Mostafa Salehi led to int'l outrage & focus on this regime. This regime is criminalizing any kind of resistance & prosecuting political dissidents. #StopExecutionsInIran pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
4) Maryam Manouchehrian of the Iranian community
Dozens of political prisoners are waiting for their execution. We ask the German parliament to support an initiative that calls for the revoking of the execution of political prisoners. #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
5) @MPatzeltCDU
I’m committed to support you and I will talk to my colleagues in the German Parliament about this issue. Human rights is in the German constitution. The mullahs use violence to maintain their dictatorship. #StopExecutionsInIran pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
6) Dr. Christian Staeblein
Bishop of the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg
What is happening in Iran is unimaginable: torture, sexual violence, mock executions, and death sentences. #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
7) Former German MP Leo Dautzenberg
The dictatorship of the mullahs in #Iran can be summed up in murder and lies. Iran has the second-highest misery ranking in the world. #StopExecutionsInIran pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
8) Hermann-Josef Scharf
VP, Christian Democrat Party, Saarland State Assembly
Words are not going to be enough. The EU and UN have the means to use sanctions against human rights violations. All these mechanisms must be used. #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
9) @kaminskimichal
Amnesty reports & many eyewitnesses are suggesting that the current regime in #Iran is using the pandemic & the current situation as a cover for strengthening their actions against the opposition. #StopExecutionsInIran pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
10) Berlin Deputy Mayor Detlef Wagner
Is it wrong to say I want to be free? Is it wrong to go to the street and say the mullahs are taking away my dignity? The mullahs are killing people. #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
11) @christophploss
Together with my colleagues I will try to have an impact in #Iran, we must do everything we can so that this inhuman practice of execution finally comes to an end and that the prisoners are freed. #StopExecutionsInIran pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
12) @NordMdb
The terror in #Iran has not reduced. Many people have been executed because of their protests against the mullahs regime and because they stood up for democracy in Iran. #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
14) @VriesChristoph
What we have seen in Iran since 1988 to date is an ongoing crime against humanity. I condemn this practice of execution by the regime that from my point of view, a very clear sign of the weakness of this dictatorship #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…
16) @Brehm_inNBGNord
In #Iran people who are on death row must be freed and the death penalty in Iran must be abolished. We remember Navid Afkari and Mostafa Salehi. We are with you and fight against human rights abuses. #NoDeathPenalty pscp.tv/iran_policy/1D…

1) #Iran’s FM @JZarif is in #China today & tomorrow, most likely to sell-off more of Iran’s wealth for political protection from the Chinese Communist Party.
Chinese fishing boats are already destroying marine life in Iran’s southern waters.
2) Local fishermen in SE Iran:
-These ships are “vacuuming” all the fish, local fishermen are out of work
-Chinese ships are fishing but authorities have banned locals
-Chinese ships are destroying marine life here
-The [Chinese] are destroying the reefs
3) This courageous Baloch fisherman from SE Iran saved a whale from a trawling net. The whale was of an endangered species.
He bravely criticizes the Chinese & Iran’s regime about bottom trawling & the plundering of his country.
2) "...sanctions on key sectors of Iran’s economy in order to deny the Iranian government financial resources that may be used to fund & support its nuclear program, missile development, terrorism & terrorist proxy networks, and malign regional influence." home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
3) Iran uses these banks to bypass sanctions in order to continue funding the Assad regime in Syria & proxies across the region:
#BREAKING
Oct 8—Tehran, #Iran
Following the death of Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, an iconic vocalist master of traditional Persian music, Iranians are out in the streets in his memory.
Interestingly they're chanting:
"State media is a disgrace!"
1) Iranian opposition NCRI hosts online event covering ongoing human rights violations in #Iran & urging the European Union to live up to its political & moral obligations. #NoImpunity4Mullahs twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
3) @Rjukneviciene
We must stand by the Iranian people as doing so is defending our democratic principles. We must stand firm against the regime, condemn its suppression with the strongest terms and hold it to account. #Iran #NoImpunity4Mullahs pscp.tv/iran_policy/1r…
1) This is a periodic reminder that Sen. Chris Murphy had a secret meeting with Iranian FM @JZarif during the Munich Security Conference back in February.
Murphy also has strong ties with #Iran’s DC-based lobby @NIACouncil.
