February 2016
Recently Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in his remarks made at
the presence of Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei, “December 30th
was the day the Iranian people defended this regime, the laws and the supreme
leader.”
What did happen on December 30th? On this day back in 2009
the people of Tehran launched a massive nationwide uprising that saw millions
pouring into the streets across the country protesting the controversial
presidential elections and the massive vote rigging carried out by the regime.
Protesters were chanting “Death to the supreme leader” and expressing their
outrage. Under orders issued by Khamenei on that very day the incumbent Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, “reelected” as president, joined the Revolutionary Guards to
launch a massive crackdown against demonstrators rallying against the regime. A
large number of youths were killed by the IRGC in this demonstration while many
others were arrested and killed under torture inside the regime dungeons.
Rouhani had a specific objective in recalling this day before the
upcoming elections at the end of this month. He is warning the Iranian people
of thinking twice about pouring into the streets and staging protests. Not only
do I have nothing less than Ahmadinejad to quell all popular protests, in fact
I am much more ruthless, he says. To prove Rouhani’s goal one has to merely
compare the number of executions carried out under his watch to a similar
period in the past. The number of executions in the first 2½ years of his rule
has skyrocketed above 2,200 cases, 57 of which were women. This is a 40% leap
in comparison to Ahmadinejad. The reason why Rouhani is more ruthless is that
for 16 years he was Khamenei’s representative in the regime’s Supreme National
Security Council.
During the turbulent days of the 2009 uprising Rouhani said regarding
the Iranian people’s chants against the supreme leader: “Insulting Khamenei is
an insult to Iran, Islam, Muslims, the constitution and those who consider Iran
as the most important land in the Islamic world. These
demonstrators are nothing to be described as elements seeking to overthrow the
state… yesterday a firm order was issued to have these elements severely
oppressed…”
After the mullahs’ hijacked the 1979 revolution
in Iran the first widespread order for crackdown measures were issued by
Iranian regime founder Mullah Ruhollah Khomeini. This was known as the “hijab”
plan, enforcing women to cover their hair. At that time Rouhani was appointed
to implement this project and he has written in his memoires: “I was in charge
of executing the hijab project in all administrative offices associated to the
military. Early on all I ordered all female employees to gather at the joint
military headquarters and we reached an agreement for them all to show up at
work with headscarves starting the next morning. Other than 2 or 3 none of the
female employees wore headscarves and they were very angry. However, I stood
firm on my position and said, ‘Starting tomorrow morning a soldier will stand
outside the front gate and he is allowed to prevent women without headscarves
from entering the joint military HQ area.’ After the joint military HQ we went
to command bases of the three forces. First we went to the Dushan Tapeh Base
and gathered all the female employees in the conference hall and spoke to them
about hijab. There were women who began shouting but I firmly said, ‘This is an
order and you cannot disobey.’ There I also said a soldier will be standing at
the door and he will not allow any woman without a headscarf into the base. We
carried out similar measures in the ground and naval forces HQs. In the end we
issued a statement obligating all women to wear headscarves.”
It was after the announcement of this inhumane
plan that the “Iranian woman” faced a growing wave of arrests, lashings, acid attacks
(splashed on their faces) and various other harassing and insulting measures in
broad daylight by Revolutionary Guards and Bassij paramilitary forces. This
concerning trend continues to this day after 37 years.
“An individual sentenced to death has been
sentenced by the law. They will be punished and this has nothing to do with us…
because it is either the divine law or a law adopted by the parliament which
belongs to the people, and we execute this law,” Rouhani said in April 2014.
Most certainly, all true Muslims know the laws
referred to by the mullahs’ regime and Rouhani are based on the power-thirsty
mullahs’ own fabric interpretations. They resort to such definitions to justify
their horrific crimes, and such atrocities have no place in the true message of
Islam or international laws.
During his visit to France and in response to
President Francoise Hollande’s notion that he has discussed human rights with
his Iranian counterpart, Rouhani answered we implement the law. This was yet
another reference to his remarks stated back in April 2014.
Who can differentiate Rouhani, with such a
horrific report card, from Khamenei and other leaders of the mullahs’ regime in
Iran? Those who do are seeking their own short-term interests and consider
these matters more important than human rights and even security, peace and
long-term interests of their own nations.
Rouhani and senior regime officials are plunging
the Iranian people into further war, poverty, destruction, unemployment and
drug addiction. This has increased the Iranian people’s hatred for the ruling
elite as they have been struggling for 37 years against criminal mullahs such
as Rouhani and Khamenei to get a hold of their basic rights.
