Names of 19 more martyrs of the Iranian people’s uprising released

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) released the names of another 19 martyrs of the Iranian people’s uprising, bringing to 476 the number of victims identified so far.

The number of those killed during the nationwide uprising far exceeds 1,000, among them dozens of women, including four mothers.

I urge the United Nations Secretary General to condemn this major crime and to urgently dispatch a fact-finding mission to Iran to visit the detention centers and those arrested.

I also call for the convening of a Security Council session to address this horrific crime and to hold to account the leaders of the religious fascism ruling Iran.

The international community’s inaction vis-à-vis this massacre, one of the most heinous atrocities in the 21st century, has scarred the conscience of contemporary humanity and will be construed by the regime as a green light to continue and intensify its crimes.
