USADI Commentary (2008)

February 28, 2008: Whitewashing Ayatollahs’ Atrocities in Iran: It is almost an impossible task to legitimately and successfully justify negotiations and reconciliation with a regime that is persistently killing, maiming, torturing, and stoning its own citizens. So it should not come as a surprise that Tehran’s apologists are working double hard these days to hide the ayatollahs’ bloody hands and deny the existence of appalling human right crisis in Iran. They blame everyone and everything but the regime - from the “radical demands” of people and “radical political organizations” to Washington’s statements supporting democracy - for the barbaric rights violations going on in Iran....

 

January 28, 2008: The Freedom War Inside Iran: A ferocious war is going on inside Iran. It is the war the tyrannical regime of ayatollahs has declared on people of Iran since coming to power in 1979 in order to preserve its nefarious rule.

January 4, 2008: 2008: A Barbaric Beginning in Iran: The ayatollahs’ regime in Iran began the year 2008 the same way it ended 2007: with more gallows and executions. Nearly 20 executions, some in public, took place in the month of December alone. According to the Agence France Presse, Iran carried out at least 297 executions in 2007, which is about 70% increase in respect to the 2006 numbers. The 2008 looks to be even more promising for the ayatollahs’ executioners. They had a strong opening on January 2, when13 Iranians including the mother of two young children were executed according to the state media. At least three of executions took place in public....
