The niece of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has urged people and governments around the world to cut all ties with Tehran for its oppressive policies and for encouraging the use of violence to suppress the anti-government protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.
Khamenei’s niece, Farideh Moradkhani, made the plea by means of a video that was posted online by her brother following her reported arrest on Nov. 23, Politico reported, citing U.S.-based right monitor HRANA.
As seen in the clip, Moradkhani made an appeal to governments to call their representatives to Iran back to their countries. Similarly, she asked Iranian reps to various nations to be sent back as an answer to the country’s security forces using live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas at demonstrators.
“O free people, be with us and tell your governments to stop supporting this murderous and child-killing regime,” she said.
Moradkhani also shared that the Iranian regime does not believe in any of its religious principles and is interested in “maintaining its power in any possible way.”
She asked, “How long do we have to witness oppression by political autocrats in any part of the world?”
Moradkhani then likened her uncle to other fascist leaders. “Isn’t the example of Hitler, Mussolini, Ceaușescu, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and this last one Khamenei enough to make the world think of a new way?”
“We Iranian people expect that the United Nations and all the organizations that derive their value and credibility from the goal of ‘freedom and justice for all humanity’ take practical steps and implement deterrent and effective activities against the stark, horrible crimes that are going on in Iran against the women, men and children,” she said, adding, “Stop being indifferent and prevent this horrible genocide.”
Iran announced Monday that it would not cooperate with the United Nation’s fact-finding mission investigating its brutal crackdown on the ongoing demonstrations. The country has declined support due to the “political” nature of the investigation.
In the video, Moradkhani also asked the people of the world and the governments not to react to the Iranian unrest with “empty words and slogans but with real action and stop any dealings with this regime.”
She ended the clip with, “Woman Life Freedom,” the slogan call of the ongoing revolution, “in the hope of freedom and liberation of all people from the shackles of ignorance, bigotry and prejudice.”
