“Forced Confession”, The mullahs' latest failed attempt to contain the popular uprising in Iran

The dictatorial criminal regime of Iran is trying to extract the forced confession from detainees to prevent the continuing popular uprising in Iran. 

Not only This isn’t a reflection of the power of this regime, but a reflection of its weakness against the Iranian public's desire for change. 

Since the uprising, more than 12,000 protesters have been arrested by security forces. The Iranian regime's policy towards detainees has changed compared to last year. The regime tried to suppress the uprising last year by killing dissidents in prisons. But for lack of accountability to justice and the international community, it announced that prisoners had committed suicide in prisons though it was a false advertisement and did not fool anyone. 

Khamenei himself has been ordering the crackdown of protests in the last 30 year but this year it was the first time he appeared publicly on TV to order the massacre of protesters in streets, which was the plain show of his fear from being overthrown by these protests. So, the Security Forces, killed without any hesitation 1500 protesters in 48 hours in street, among them several kids under 18, and 400 women at least. 

Unlike last year, in which they killed protesters in prisons, they killed protesters in the streets and during the uprising this year. In this way, the regime tried to extinguish the blades of the anger of protesters by this massacre.  

Many of those arrested were killed after extensive torture, and their bodies were found by people in riversides and agricultural areas around the cities. 

In Iran's prisons, some detainees are forced to confess after being tortured. The Iranian regime then shows them on a television show to scare people. 

This practice has been repeatedly carried out over the past years against the regime's opponents, and the Iranian people hate this trick and its perpetrators. But what goes back to the international community is to condemn this human rights violation. 

 

As Mrs. Maryam Rajavi has repeatedly stated, the UnitedNations and the UN Security Council must prevent the Iranian regime and its leaders’ crimes and bloodshed by sending an independent fact-finding mission to Iran for investigating the crimes against Iranian protesters in streets and prisons, and condemn them as “The Crime against Humanity”. 

 

Iranian communities living in European and American countries had also demonstrations in solidarity with the Iranian people's desire for change and they called on Western governments, especially the United States to adopt a principled policy for international condemnation and bringing the Iranian regime’s leaders to justice.
