Introduction:
Remembering Mahsa Amini’s tragic death at the hands of the Islamic Republic’s morality police. Her brutal murder sparked a nationwide uprising, with Iranian women and men demanding freedom, justice, and an end to the regime’s oppression.
The International Center for Human Rights (ICHR) commemorates the second anniversary of the “Women, Life, Freedom” uprising, sparked by the brutal murder of Mahsa Amini. We stand in solidarity with the families of the victims, the heroes of free Iran, and demand justice for the regime’s crimes against humanity.
IRGC and Islamic Republic’s Crimes:
Since then the IRGC and Islamic Republic have committed heinous crimes against the Iranian people, including:
– Violent crackdowns on peaceful protests
– Arrests, torture, and executions of activists and dissidents
– Forced hijab laws and violence against women
– Suppression of free speech and assembly
– Support for global terrorism and proxy groups
– Hundreds of killings of freedom-loving youth
– Arbitrary executions of protestors
– Tens of thousands of arbitrary arrests
– Widespread torture, rape, and harassment
– Retaliatory measures against women and girls
– Attacks on students and professors
– Murders of detainees and Sunni religious leaders
Women, Life, Freedom:
Mahsa’s death ignited a movement, with women leading the charge against the regime’s patriarchal oppression. The slogan “Women, Life, Freedom” became a rallying cry, symbolizing the desire for:
– Bodily autonomy and an end to forced hijab
– Equal rights and opportunities
– Freedom from gender-based violence
– A democratic, secular government
Patriotic Men Stand in Solidarity:
Men have also joined the movement, recognizing the intrinsic link between women’s rights and the struggle for democracy. Together, they demand:
– An end to the regime’s militarism and terrorism
– Accountability for human rights abuses
– A free, secular Iran
Global Terrorist Activities:
The Islamic Republic’s criminal regime has continued to export terrorism worldwide, supporting groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Their actions have led to:
– Instability in the Middle East
– Threats to global security
– Human rights abuses in occupied territories
Conclusion:
As we remember Mahsa, we honor her legacy by continuing the fight against oppression. We stand in solidarity with the Iranian people, demanding freedom, justice, and human rights. The world must recognize the Islamic Republic’s crimes and support the Iranian people’s quest for democracy and self-determination.
The regime’s systematic violence has worsened in recent days, with:
– Massive and systematic violence
– Murder, hostage-taking, and internet disconnection
– Arbitrary arrests and violent detentions
Ardeshir Zarezadeh, ICHR’s executive director, states: “The regime has inflicted unspeakable cruelty on the Iranian people since 1979. It’s time for the international community to take credible action, including:
– Severe sanctions on the regime, IRGC, and affiliates worldwide
– Enlisting the regime and IRGC as a terrorist entity worldwide
– Expulsion of relatives and affiliates worldwide
– Confiscation of assets worldwide
– Closing embassies worldwide
– Trial at the International Criminal Court
We warn and call-to-action to the international community to stand on the right side of history, condemn the regime’s crimes, and stop considering it the legitimate government of Iran. The world must prioritize human rights and the rule of law over political games and benefits.
ICHR joins millions worldwide in supporting human rights in solidarity with the families of Iran’s heroes. We demand justice and an end to the regime’s impunity.
