Following June 20 killings, Maryam Rajavi urges UN Security Council to adopt firm policy and impose sanctions on Iranian regime

Following the courageous nationwide uprising on June 20 and the regime’s barbaric clampdown on protestors, which led to 150 deaths and thousands injured or arrested, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said: The uprising on Saturday proved wrong those who wanted to introduce the mullahs’ regime as strong and stable. It showed that Iranian society is fully ready for democratic change.

Mrs. Rajavi: Nationwide gathering represents the Iranian people’s vote and marks the beginning of the end for the religious dictatorship

Khamenei defends election-rigging, supports Ahmadinejad and refuses to annul election results
He cautions defeated faction within regime and threatens popular uprising with bloody suppression

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, described remarks by the clerical regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in today’s Friday prayers sermon as an indication of an irreversible escalation of crisis and a ‘political earthquake’ within the regime. She said Khamenei had insisted on the ridiculous figure of 40 million votes in the sham election and strongly supported Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s presidency and blatantly rejected the request by the rival defeated faction to annul the election result. This, she said, was a blatant threat to crack down ruthlessly on the popular uprising.

At least 43 people have been killed by agents of the Revolutionary Guards, anti-riot force and other suppressive forces during the first five days of the people's nationwide uprising, the social department of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran said, adding that some were fatally shot and others were beaten or stabbed to death.

The Iranian regime banned the news coverage of opponents' demonstration and protesters by foreign journalists.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi described this act as a preface to increased suppression of people's uprising and said while the scenes of firing on demonstrators and killing them and assaulting the youths whose only demand is freedom has caused international outrage, the mullahs' regime tries to increase this brutal suppression away from the eyes of foreign journalists and cameras.

The widespread arrest of young protestors and opponents of the regime in Tehran and most other cities which began on Saturday has gained new dimensions. Thousands have so far been arrested.

Mir Hossein Moussavi met the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and issued a statement declaring allegiance to Khamenei’s “supreme rule”. He requested the annulment of the results of the sham elections and took part in the rally on Monday solely to calm the atmosphere.
On this, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said:

In yet another criminal act, agents of the Revolutionary Guards on Monday afternoon killed at least one protestor in Tehran and injured many others.

Mullahs' deadlock and start of the end of clerical regime

Immediately after the sham election and re-appointment of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and simultaneous with the crackdown on the uprising by young people and the opponents, the ruling religious fascism has extended its repression to its rival factions and arrested many of their leaders.

Display of Iranians' determination to uproot the religious dictatorship        

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, described the uprising by the Iranian people which continued throughout Saturday till late evening as the culmination of the widespread boycott of the mullahs' elections. The nationwide uprising and brave resistance by the youths against the brutal repression of the suppressive forces, and chants of 'Iranians do not accept disgrace' and 'death to the dictator', which could be heard all over the world, were a stamp of rejection of the mullahs' sham election, she said.

Maryam Rajavi:
- 85 percent of Iranians boycott religious dictatorship’s election
- Iranian people’s big ‘NO’ to the clerical regime, social and political readiness for democratic solution
- Reappointment of Ahmadinejad would result in sudden rise in suppression, unbridled factional feuding, nuclear arms pursuit and warmongering

The social headquarters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) inside the country announced that according to eyewitness reports from 25,000 polling stations across Iran, the real voter turnout was 7.5 million, and more than 85 percent of the 51.2 million eligible voters boycotted the mullahs’ sham presidential election.

In an unprecedented revelation in the course of escalating internal feuding within the Iranian regime, Mehdi Karoubi, one of the mullahs’ presidential candidates, admitted with pride saying, “When the war broke out and we were attacked, we spoke to people in such a way that from the Ministry of Education 36,000 children went to the war and martyred. This does not include the wounded [children].”

Mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has ordered that the number of voters in the presidential election on Friday should be announced 35 million, more than 75 percent of the eligible voters, according to reports from Iran. To this end, officials of the regime in the ministries of interior and intelligence, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Bassij Paramilitary Force and other bodies have been ordered to forge ballots, exaggerate figures and arrange for riggings, in order to facilitate the release of this figure.
