In recent days, the Islamic regime has carried out an unprecedented and unbelievable massacre in Iran. On January 8 and 9 alone, this regime killed 20,000 protesters, injured 300,000, blinded several thousand, and arrested tens of thousands. Some reports suggest that the actual numbers are much higher. Thousands of mercenaries were even brought in from other countries to carry out this massacre. In some cases, the wounded were shot to ensure they would die. Injured people are being abducted from hospitals, and aid is being denied to them. Khamenei himself has admitted that several thousand people have been killed.
Describing the violence and brutality carried out in these days by the Islamic regime and its mercenaries is not easy. The internet remains cut off, and the full extent of the crimes has not yet emerged.
What is happening in Iran is a full-scale massacre and genocide, carried out over two days under the cover of an internet shutdown and complete media blackout—and it continues to some extent.
We cannot remain silent in the face of this widespread slaughter. The rights-seeking people of Iran urgently need global help, solidarity, and support. We call on workers in every country to assist their fellow workers in Iran and the protesting people by any possible means and to be the voice of these people.
The enthusiastic support of labor unions and humane organizations worldwide for the Iranian people’s struggle, and the condemnation of the genocide and crimes of the Islamic Republic—such as the meeting initiated today, January 18, by labor unions in Switzerland—is extremely valuable and empowering. However, this step must be advanced by pressuring governments to condemn the Islamic regime for crimes against humanity and to prosecute each of its leaders for the Holocaust it has unleashed.
Free Them Now, while appreciating your labor unions’ efforts in solidarity with the workers and Iranian people, emphasizes several urgent demands and needs your cooperation to seek justice for the massive crimes committed against the people. Pressure your governments to comply with these demands, which are the urgent requests of the Iranian people:
- Global boycott of the Islamic Republic and the prosecution of every criminal leader of this regime in international courts.
- Immediate and unconditional release of all detainees and political prisoners.
- Immediate cessation of executions and the killing of protesters.
- Official declaration of the illegitimacy of the Islamic Republic due to crimes against humanity, a comprehensive global boycott of the regime, including closing its embassies worldwide, expelling the regime from all international bodies, and listing the IRGC and the regime’s security forces as global terrorists. These measures will pave the way for the prosecution of the regime’s leaders.
The Islamic Republic is a murderer of the Iranian people, and its authorities and leaders must be prosecuted in international tribunals.
