We strongly condemn Iran’s plot to kidnap journalists
The Islamic Republic of Iran has a long history of most barbaric Human Rights abuse which has deep ideological roots. Journalists and human rights activists, who expose the brutality and the institutionalized corruption of the regime, have been systematically targeted and severely punished by the government, with numerous journalists murdered or arrested in the 42-years reign of terror. As a result, many journalists have fled the country to save their lives. The Iranian regime has not only attempted to silence its critics inside the country but also abroad by abduction or assassination of exiled activists since 1979. In 2019, Ruhollah Zam, a French based Iranian journalist, was lured from Paris to Iraq where he was abducted and trafficked to Iran, facing imprisonment and finally his execution in 2020. The recent despicable plot to kidnap a US citizen and a prominent human rights activist, Masih Alinezhad, on US soil indicates that this regime is willing to pay any price to get rid of its critics inside and outside of its borders without worry of international political or trade consequences. ...

We support the peaceful struggle of the Palestinians for a life without discrimination on their land!
Last week, following a violent crackdown on Palestinian protesters at the Al-Qassa Mosque, a wave of violent clashes erupted between Arabs and Jews in Israel. Subsequent to rockets fired from Gaza into Israeli territory, followed by a heavy Israeli airstrike on the area, 145 civilians, including 27 children, mostly Palestinians were killed. The clashes erupted after an Israeli court arranged for an unfair eviction of some homes in the eastern part of Jerusalem in favor of Jewish settlers. Jerusalem, under UN Security Council Resolution 478, is illegally occupied by Israel and must be returned to the Palestinians. Accordingly, jurists believe that Israeli courts have no legal authority over residents of the occupied territories. ...

Letter to the UN Commission on the Status of Women
Iranian women continue to face violence and systematic discriminatory laws affecting their private lives as well as public presence. Over the past four decades, suppression of women has been the cornerstone of the Islamic Republic of Iran, leaving women stripped off of their fundamental rights including in relation to marriage, divorce, employment, and inheritance, just to name a few. In the Islamic Republic of Iran Women are categorically considered to have a worth half of that of a man. Despite the oppressive social climate and numerous obstacles, Iranian women have been battling all along on every front to open their path forward. The number of women being arrested simply because of demanding equal rights is increasing daily; most being students, journalists, lawyers, and civil activists. Women activists have faced heavy sentences (24 years-imprisonment just recently) for refusing to obey the compulsory hijab in public. ...
