Iranian Opposition held an International Conference on Human Rights in Iran in Paris
On Saturday December 7, 2013, at an international conference in Paris on the eve of International Human Rights Day, a warning was issued against ignoring crimes against humanity in Ashraf and mass executions in Iran under the guise of nuclear negotiations with Iran. At the conference, prominent American and European personalities warned against reducing the sanctions at the time that the Iranian regime has not completely given up its aim of developing an atomic bomb.

In the conference held in the presence of Mrs Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, Rouhani’s government’s record on violation of human rights in Iran and the massacre of the Iranian dissidents in Camp Ashraf was a key point of discussion. The conference emphasized the necessity of the immediate release of the seven Camp Ashraf hostages who were abducted by Maliki’s Special Forces at the behest of the Iranian regime. Delegates also stressed the necessity of securing the protection and safety of the 3,000 dissidents of the Iranian regime in Camp Liberty.

The conference was inaugurated by Jean-François Le Garrett and was presided over by Naomi Tutu. Maryam Rajavi, Rudy Giuliani, Howard Dean, Michael Mukasey, Louis J. Freeh, Geir Haarde, and Naomi Tutu delivered speeches.

in another news 6 Sunni Kurds have been on hunger strike since the early days in Nov. in Ghezel Hesar prison, protesting their death sentences. Reports indicate that thousands of prisoners in Ghezel Hesar and other prisons such as Margheh prison have joined in the hunger strike. This is an unprecedented act of solidarity in Iranian prisoners.

The hunger strike by the hundreds in Camp Liberty in Iraq is

also nearing its 100 days. On Sept 1, the Iraqi forces raided Camp Ashraf and killed 52 unarmed residents and took 7 including 6 women as hostage. The Iraq's al-Maliki denies having anything to do with the attack or the hostage taking and president Obama keeping his silence. The Camp residents say that they have entered an agreement between US, UN, and Iraqi government to stay behind in Camp Ashraf while the rest were transferred to Camp Liberty. It's important to note that Ashraf/Liberty residents are protected persons under the 4th Geneva conversions.

In Ottawa yesterday for the third time last week, Iranian-Canadians gathered in front of the US embassy to demand the release of 7 hostages. They told Irava that their protest will hold on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays until further notice. We'll keep you updated.

IRAN: Execution

On Monday, the Iranian regime hanged a prisoner in Zahedan Central Prison after 10 years of imprisonment. Iranian regime's new president Hassan Rouhani's judiciary carried out two more hangings in Zahedan prison. The victims were 23 and 31 years old and had been in prison for past 5 to 6 years. Following the execution of these two young prisoners, students at Zahedan University on Wednesday staged a rally to protest the crackdown on their fellow Sunni friends. Sunnis, much like Bahai's are oppressed by the Mullahs in Iran because of their religious beliefs.

According to Agence France Press, inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog arrived in Iran on Saturday to visit the still-unfinished Arak heavy water plant for the first time in more than two years, Iranian regime's state news agency ISNA reported.
The two inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency began their work on Sunday at the site, 240 kilometres (150 miles) southwest of the capital, but ISNA did not say how long they would be there.
The inspection comes within the framework of a mid-November agreement between Iran and the IAEA that also allows the IAEA access to a uranium mine in Gachin, in the country's south.
The IAEA regularly visits the works on the reactor, but says it has not received any new design details since 2006. And inspectors have not been to the heavy water plant since August 2011.
The Arak reactor is of concern to the international community because Tehran could theoretically extract weapons-grade plutonium from its spent fuel.
Under a deal reached last month with world powers in Geneva, Iranian regime agreed that it would not commission the reactor or transfer fuel or heavy water to the site for a period of six months.
