On Sept. 21, near the UN where Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi – directly responsible for mass executions of thousands of political prisoners and other crimes – was addressing UN General Assembly, the International Emergency Campaign to Free Iran’s Political Prisoners held a Press Conference and Speak-Out condemning the Islamic Republic of Iran’s vicious, illegitimate repression.
We demanded freedom for Iran’s political prisoners, and read statements from relatives of political prisoners, prisoner support movements, and others. As we receive new images, videos, etc., we will post them here.
