On January 9, Iranians held a protest in Paris against human rights abuses by the mullahs' regime in Iran. The demonstrators pointed out that executions have significantly increased under the presidency of Hassan Rouhani.
They denounced Rouhani's planned trip to Paris on 28 January and urged the French government and European Union to condition their relations with Iranian regime on improvement of the human rights situation and an end to executions in Iran.
The Iranians in Paris' Trocadero Square also held up banners with Twitter hashtags #No2Rouhani and #StopExecutionsIran. The banners displayed human rights abuses in Iran.
On Thursday January 28, on the day of Rouhani’s visit to Paris, a major rally will be held in Trocadero Square to say no to Rouhani, president of 2000 executions in Iran, and to denounce his presence in France. The protest is organized by Comité de soutien aux Droits de l’Homme en Iran.
More than 2,000 people have been executed during Hassan Rouhani’s tenure as President of the regime. This figure is the highest rate of executions in the past 25 years which has already secured Iran’s place as the nation with the most executions per capita.
The human rights situation has been deteriorating rapidly in Iran. The international community should condemn the human rights violations in Iran, in particular arbitrary, mass and public executions, and refer the human rights dossier of the mullahs’ regime to the United Nations Security Council to hold the mullahs accountable for crime against humanity.
