On Monday, supporters of the Iranian Resistance, in a rally, marched in support of the nationwide uprising to overthrow the Iranian regime, and announced to the international community to send an international investigation panel to Iranian prisons and prevent the massacres of the detainees.
The Iranian regime’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei has described the protests as the work of a “very dangerous conspiracy”. The Tehran government has blamed the uprising on rebellious youths linked to opponents in exile, mainly the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, Iran’s Resistance President-elect of the NCRI, said to the demonstrators gathered in Trocadero Square, famous as the Human Rights Square, “Esplanade of Human Rights”:
“I salute you all who have found a defense of freedom and democracy and defense of human rights in supporting the Iran uprising.
“The blood of over 600 rebellious youths, the cries of 12,000 arrested youths detained in Khamenei’s torture chambers, and the cries of a rebellious nation from across Iran call on the world to stand up to the religious fascism.
“They cry out: We shook the earth underneath the decadent rule of the mullahs in 187 cities.
“They say: We paid a heavy price to prove that there remain no other options but to overthrow the mullahs.”
Mrs. Rajavi called on the international community to stand firmly in front of the Iranian regime, and to condemn the gross violation of human rights and the crimes against humanity:
“As we approach December 10, the anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the people of Iran expect the world community to take a practical step vis-à-vis the suppression of human rights in Iran by pressuring the mullahs’ regime to stop torture and killings of those arrested in the Iran uprising.
“The European Union must stop its appeasement of the clerical regime. No concessions should be granted to a regime that slaughters protesters and breaches its commitments to the JCPOA, one after the other. The EU must pull the trigger of UN Security Council sanctions against this barbaric dictatorship which is a threat to global and regional peace and security.
“For their massive suppression and bloodshed, the UN Security Council must declare the Iranian regime leaders as criminals committing crimes against humanity and hold them accountable.”
In this regard, Mrs. Rajavi tweeted:
Unfortunately, the int’l community has not responded properly to the crimes against humanity currently going on in #Iran. Crime against humanity during the November 2019 uprising is being led by the same officials responsible for the 1988 massacre. #IranProtests

In the rally, supporters and friends of the Iranian people and resistance emphasized their solidarity with the people of Iran, especially the rebellious youths.
“The masks have fallen, no to Rouhani, he is not a moderate. We cannot negotiate with a barbaric regime … Those who have committed crimes against humanity must be brought to justice.”
