Iran regime leaders accused of mass murder in 2019 protests

FOX News- June 5th 2022

As the Biden administration is busying itself in Austria where it’s desperately seeking to conclude a nuclear agreement with Iran, critics complain human rights are off the table.

This as prominent Iranian dissidents and lawyers are trying to jolt the international community into holding Iran’s regime accountable for its mass execution of peaceful protesters in 2019.

The Iran Atrocities Tribunal — also known as the Aban Tribunal for the Iranian calendar month in which the elimination of regime opponents took place — has been meeting in London and is slated to issue a report later in the year on the 1,500 protesters murdered by Iranian security forces in November 2019 for demonstrating against rising fuel prices.

Shadi Sadr, a prominent Iranian lawyer and executive director of the group Justice for Iran, is one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the tribunal. She told Fox News Digital the “international community is indifferent to the atrocities,” and Iran’s clerical regime has not investigated the crimes.

“Absolute impunity” is the controlling factor in the Islamic Republic’s opaque system, and the perpetrators of the mass murder have been promoted, Sadr said.

Sadr noted the popular interest in the Tribunal.

“More than 15 million viewers in Iran watched the live broadcasts of the [Aban Tribunal] hearings as they were covered by major Iranian media outlets in exile. It became the most watched event in Iran’s history of civil activism,” Sadr said.
