Iranian Dissidents, Supporters Denounce Regime and Call For Prosecution of President-Elect
(Worthy News) – A mass gathering of members of an exiled Iranian opposition group heard calls for the United Nations to press for the international prosecution of Iranian President-elect Ebrahim Raisi, accused of participation in the extrajudicial executions of thousands of dissidents in the 1980s.
The annual “Free Iran” event, held online this year, ended on Monday. Supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)/Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) opposition group in more than 100 countries took part, according to the organizers.
In her address, NCRI leader Maryam Rajavi attributed the victory of Raisi – in an election tightly stage-managed by the regime – to Tehran’s fear of popular protests that have erupted across Iran in recent years, and what she called the “political demise” of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
