Justice for Iran

Now, let us look at the number of those killed and arrested during the uprisings:
• The 2017-2018 uprising: Dozens were killed, and at least 8,000 people were arrested.
• The November 2019 uprising: 1,500 people were killed, and more than 12,000 were arrested.
• The 2022 uprising: More than 750 people were killed, and 90,000 people were arrested.
• The January 2026 uprising: Several thousand people were killed, and at least 50,000 people were arrested.

These figures reveal the brutal system of repression and bloodshed that rules Iran.
Yet this killing machine has failed to stop the people’s uprisings and the organized Resistance.
The past four decades have been a history of governments remaining silent in the face of the regime’s crimes.
Instead of offering my own explanation, I would like to read part of remarks by Mr. Marc Trévidic, former anti-terrorism investigating judge in Paris, which were broadcast on September 10 this year by Radio Présence in Toulouse.
He said, “When I was working in the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office in the early 2000s, I witnessed a strange closeness between France and Iran. France wanted to sign many profitable contracts with Iran, especially in the oil and gas sector.
The Iranian regime made a condition: we had to arrest its opponents. In particular, we had the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) in Auvers-sur-Oise… We were told that they were terrorists as well. This was a misuse of the judicial system for political purposes.”
This accusation became a justification for greater repression and for more executions of PMOI members and supporters.
