Full Text of the Statement of  Faryad Iran Association
Date: 11/09/2009
Drafted and Written by: (A. Irani)
“Published in the Azadliq Newspaper of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Baku”

The uprising of the people of Iran against the Islamic Republic is a national, popular, and civil movement in which individuals have participated in their capacity as “citizens.” The clear objective of this uprising is to obtain and restore the legal and civil freedoms that, over the course of several decades of the rule of apparently Islamic but oppressive tyrants, have been comprehensively violated and taken away from the people in all areas of private and public life, across all political, cultural, and social spheres, by the clerics and ayatollahs. Freedom, democracy, secularism, and the rights and values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights constitute the clear and ultimate goal and demand of the people of Iran.

The uprising of the people of Iran bears no sign, color, or form of any religion, sect, ideology, ethnicity, or tribe, and it is a profoundly secular and modern movement—an uprising that, more than anything else, expresses its protest, disgust, and revulsion toward the religious and reactionary slogans and rituals manufactured by the Islamic Republic regime, a regime that has put on display a horrifying ideology of backwardness and obscurantism.

The deception of the people and the diversion of the symbolic and emblematic direction of the uprising of the Iranian nation toward satanic absurdities and nonsense is the deceitful effort of Islamist reformists and so-called religious nationalists who suffer from the chronic and malignant disease of ideology and backwardness. Their ignorant fanaticism, instrumental use of religion and religious beliefs, and resistance to accepting new ideas and the changes sought by the people of Iran represent a mode of thinking detached from rationality, one that insists upon its own views as absolute truths and remains indifferent to the needs of the age and the achievements of humanity, remaining backward and stagnant in all intellectual respects.

Unfortunately, the same illusion that in the Revolution of ’57 caused some of the so-called intellectuals to imagine that they would build a bridge out of Khomeini and his followers, cross over it, bring down the monarchy, and then seize power themselves, has once again led some to believe that by aligning themselves with Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Karroubi, or other reformists, or with seemingly modern and popular leftists, or with other clerics, and by submitting to and echoing their religious slogans and symbols, they will likewise pass beyond them and move toward society and a social order, and in particular will somehow pass through this crisis.

Whereas, if from this very day we do not clearly and decisively separate ourselves from everything that carries the color and scent of backwardness, and do not openly distance ourselves from ideological symbolic carriers, then in the end the backward, ideological, and medieval reactionaries will once again, by distorting the uprising of the Iranian nation, impose upon Iranian society and the Iranian people a new type of light or liberal Islam, acceptable to colonial interests and manufactured in the think tanks of countries that are not friends, thereby deceiving the nation and stealing the pure revolution of the people.

The three colors green, white, and red, together, which have become the emblem of the civil and overthrow-oriented movement of the Iranian people, in themselves have no inherent difference from, for example, blue, crimson, purple, or yellow. However, if we allow it, the fascist and backward, outwardly religious republic will appropriate them for its own benefit and portray and assign them to Shiism and Shiite religious symbolism. This would be a grave and unforgivable mistake.

The color green can represent the month of Khordad and the season of spring, whose grandeur and beauty symbolize fertility, birth, and renewal. White symbolizes peace, friendship, and calm. Red ultimately signifies grandeur, strength, and capability. These meanings harmonize with and reflect the uprising of the Iranian nation at the beginning of spring and the rebirth of nature.

On the other hand, the uprising of the Iranian people against the rule of the ayatollahs is a movement and a rising whose clear objectives are defined within a non-religious and secular society, and it advances while fighting for the separation of religion from state and politics as one of its principal demands. Within the uprising of the Iranian nation, there is no place for the discussion of whether Allah is “Asghar” or “Akbar.” This movement has nothing to do with Hossein, Hassan, or any other religious slogans. Therefore, this cry of “Allahu Akbar,” which is placed in the mouths of the people by reformists, religious nationalists, other clerics, and deceitful sellers of Islam, is a deviation, a falsehood, and an obvious mistake that takes the Iranian nation’s uprising away from its real path.

The false cry of “Allahu Akbar” and the satanic manipulation of the religious beliefs of nations by profiteers and opportunistic devils is nothing but blowing into the trumpet of evil. Their “Allahu Akbar” is the slogan of grave-risen figures who lash the human body. Their cry is that of bloodthirsty pseudo-Muslim criminals who seek to bury a human being alive in a pit for the crime of love and then stone that person to death. Their cry is the howl of savage pseudo-Muslims of distorted thought who separate a human head from the body with swords, knives, daggers, and blades and cast it to the ground; who bury women in pits and stone them; who from childhood prepare human beings to kill and be killed as though they were human shields; who take women as slaves and for polygamy, and reduce men to captivity and servitude.

Blessed be the entry of Iranians into the age of knowledge, reason, humanism, secularism, modernity, and open resistance against ideologies and authoritarian systems.

Iran is my homeland, and light shall prevail over darkness.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: Establishment of a Secular, Democratic System Based on the Sovereignty of the People
Date: January 12, 2026

The Cyrus National Covenant Party declares that political legitimacy in the future of Iran must be founded solely on the free will of the people and transparent democratic mechanisms. The Party believes that no stable, just, and reliable political order can be established without separation of powers, free elections, public oversight, and continuous accountability. From the Party’s perspective, secularism does not mean the rejection of religious beliefs in society; rather, it signifies the neutrality of the state toward religion, non-religion, individual conscience, and the intellectual orientations of citizens.

Accordingly, the state cannot present itself as the representative of a particular ideological or religious truth, nor impose such a belief upon society as a whole.

Iranian society is characterized by cultural, intellectual, and social diversity, and the future political system must reflect this fundamental reality.

The Party emphasizes that freedom of choice, freedom of conscience, freedom of the press, and the right to political participation must be genuinely implemented, operational, and guaranteed. In the Party’s view, the rule of law means the supremacy of general legal principles over the will of individuals, institutions, and centers of power. Within such a framework, the state is entrusted with serving its citizens—not ideologically directing them.

The Party maintains that the desired system must possess the capacity for reform, lawful competition, and the peaceful rotation of power. Uncontrolled concentration of power, in any form, inevitably leads to corruption, authoritarianism, and the erosion of public trust. Therefore, the Cyrus National Covenant Party firmly asserts that determining the final form of governance, whether a republic or a democratic constitutional monarchy, can only derive legitimacy through the free vote of the people.

The fundamental principle for the Party is the establishment of an order in which the people are the source of power and institutions remain accountable to the nation.

The Party further believes that economic development, without legal security and political freedom, will neither be complete nor sustainable. The future of Iran must be built upon a democratic constitution, legal equality, and the protection of citizens against arbitrary power. The Cyrus National Covenant Party regards this framework as the central pillar of its political vision for national governance.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: Unity, Coalition, and Convergence of Political and National Forces
Date: January 26, 2026

The Cyrus National Covenant Party believes that during periods of transition and national transformation, the fragmentation of political and civil forces can increase the historical costs for a nation and weaken opportunities for reconstruction.

For this reason, the Party considers convergence not as a temporary tactic, but as a responsible necessity in the face of the country’s future. In the Party’s view, coalition does not mean the dissolution of different movements into one another; rather, it signifies conscious cooperation based on shared principles and overarching national objectives.

These principles must include the preservation of Iran’s territorial integrity, commitment to human rights, acceptance of political pluralism, the rule of law, and the rejection of violence. A coalition that lacks a clear charter, an ethical framework, and effective mechanisms for conflict resolution will erode at the first sign of crisis. From the Party’s perspective, political dialogue gains meaning only when it is grounded in honesty, transparency, and a mutual understanding of the risks facing the country. The Party emphasizes that a successful coalition is one formed not around competition for power or share, but around the acceptance of responsibility. National convergence becomes sustainable only when different actors recognize each other’s legitimacy and move beyond the logic of exclusion.

Differences of opinion regarding the structure of governance, economic models, or cultural approaches should not prevent cooperation in safeguarding the nation and defending the public interest. An effective coalition must move beyond slogans and develop into a practical mechanism for coordination, decision-making, and the articulation of unified positions. In this process, respect for ethnic, linguistic, and regional diversity is an inseparable component of maintaining national cohesion. The Cyrus National Covenant Party believes that lasting unity is not imposed, but emerges from a clear agreement on the higher interests of the country.

The future of Iran requires forces that, despite their differences, are capable of defending the public interest and national stability at critical moments.

Accordingly, the Party regards the convergence of responsible forces as an element of political rationality and a prerequisite for any serious national reconstruction.

The Right to Protest, Strike, and Civil Action in a Free Society
Date: February 5, 2026

The Cyrus National Covenant Party recognizes the right to civil protest as one of the fundamental pillars of political life in a vibrant, aware, and responsible society. In the Party’s view, protest is not a sign of the breakdown of order, but rather a mechanism for its correction and reform. A society that suppresses the expression of dissatisfaction will inevitably face an accumulation of anger, distrust, and social fragmentation.

The right to peaceful assembly, labor strikes, lawful demonstrations, and public advocacy must be regarded as natural components of the legal order of any country. The Party emphasizes that the economic, social, cultural, and political demands of the people must be allowed to emerge, be expressed, and be heard. Suppressing protest may conceal problems in the short term, but ultimately deepens them and increases their cost.

From the Party’s perspective, a responsible government must be capable of maintaining a fair balance between preserving public order and respecting public rights. Protests by teachers, workers, retirees, students, women, and other social groups reflect the realities of society and must be respected within a legal framework.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party underscores the importance of the peaceful nature of protests as a means of reducing social costs. At the same time, the Party believes that governing authorities must not frame every public demand as a security threat.

Protest is an essential mechanism through which society exercises oversight over power, and it must not be denied to citizens. In a free society, protest is neither a crime nor a privilege, it is a legal and civic right. Recognizing this right can contribute to strengthening public trust, reducing the gap between the state and society, and opening the path toward meaningful reform.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party supports a system in which the expression of demands is an integral part of civic life, not a sign of hostility toward the nation.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: Rejection of Repressive Structures and the Denial of Fear-Based Governance
Date: February 12, 2026

The Cyrus National Covenant Party declares that any system of governance that sustains itself through fear, intimidation, discrimination, and the silencing of dissenting voices is fundamentally confronted with a crisis of legitimacy. Political power is worthy of continuity only when it derives public consent through law, efficiency, justice, and accountability, not through the systematic restriction of society.

The Party believes that repressive structures, even if they appear to create short-term cohesion, ultimately lead to the erosion of social capital. Governance based on fear drives society toward concealment, passivity, distrust, and moral fatigue. Whenever the expression of opinion, organization, or criticism of power becomes costly, the capacity for peaceful reform diminishes.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party holds that the state is obligated to safeguard the legal security of its citizens, not to be a source of their psychological or political insecurity.

From the Party’s perspective, power must be limited, clearly defined, and subject to accountability. Wherever the rule of law is replaced by individual will or unaccountable networks, justice and public trust are placed at risk. A repressive system not only targets its opponents but also damages the natural fabric of society, the culture of dialogue, and public trust. The Party emphasizes replacing the logic of control with the logic of social participation. A society that can speak freely, express criticism, and influence public decisions is less prone to costly social ruptures. Accordingly, the Cyrus National Covenant Party regards the transition away from fear-based governance as an essential component of Iran’s national reconstruction. The future of the country must be built upon the rule of law, human dignity, institutional transparency, and the capacity for peaceful reform.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: Transitional Government and the Requirements for Managing the Transition Phase
Date: February 25, 2026

The Cyrus National Covenant Party considers the formation of a transitional government a technical, legal, and executive necessity in any orderly transition process. In the Party’s view, a transitional government is a temporary institution whose mission is not to consolidate power for itself, but to manage the passage from instability toward a new and stable order.

Such a government must operate within clearly defined authorities, a specified timeframe, public accountability, and transparent oversight mechanisms.

The primary responsibility of a transitional government is to prevent administrative vacuum and the collapse of public services. Safeguarding the day-to-day security of citizens, maintaining the continuity of essential institutions, protecting infrastructure, and ensuring a minimum level of economic stability are among its core duties.

Alongside these responsibilities, the transitional government must establish the legal and executive foundations necessary for free elections, the registration of political entities, the independence of the media, and the development of fair rules for lawful political competition.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party emphasizes that the transitional structure must not become a platform for political bargaining over positions or power-sharing. The effectiveness of a transitional government depends fundamentally on expertise, institutional neutrality, and public trust.

Such a government must avoid approaches driven by tension, purging, or haste, and instead adopt a framework of responsible governance. Its legitimacy derives not from rhetoric, but from precise performance, transparency, and adherence to its limited mandate.

The Party believes that the clearer and more structured this transitional period is, the greater the likelihood of successfully establishing stable democratic institutions.

Accordingly, within the political framework of the Cyrus National Covenant Party, the transitional government is an instrument of passage, not an end of power.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: The Relationship Between Iran’s History, National Identity, and the Role of Monarchy
Date: February 28, 2026

“The Role of Monarchy”

The Cyrus National Covenant Party considers the history of Iran a fundamental element in understanding national identity and one of the pillars of the country’s political and cultural continuity.

In this perspective, monarchy in Iran has not merely been a form of governance, but in many historical periods has represented a symbolic order, territorial unity, and the continuity of the nation’s historical trajectory.

The Party believes that the historical memory of the Iranian people cannot be separated from the institutions, traditions, and symbols that have contributed to its formation.

At the same time, reference to history must not replace the people’s sovereignty in the present. Respect for historical experience does not eliminate the necessity of consulting public opinion in determining the future structure of governance. The Cyrus National Covenant Party distinguishes clearly between recognizing the historical role of monarchy and making a final decision about the form of government.

The Party emphasizes that monarchy, within the Iranian experience, constitutes part of the national narrative and a component of the country’s civilizational memory. In this view, nation, state, territory, and history in Iran have been deeply interconnected, and understanding any one of these elements in isolation remains incomplete.

Any future decision regarding the structure of governance must both remain faithful to historical roots and pass through the free will of the people.

From the Party’s perspective, monarchy represents a historical and identity-based capacity that must be reinterpreted in light of contemporary legal and democratic standards, not through unconditional glorification nor absolute rejection.

Iran’s future stability will depend on its ability to establish a balanced and thoughtful connection between historical memory and modern legitimacy.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: Minority Rights, Civil Liberties, and Equal Citizenship
Date: March 01, 2026 

The Cyrus National Covenant Party declares that equal citizenship is a non-negotiable pillar of the future order of Iran.

No citizen shall be deprived of public rights on the basis of ethnicity, language, religion, belief, gender, social background, or intellectual orientation.

The Party firmly maintains that Iran’s social and cultural diversity is not a threat, but a component of the nation’s collective wealth.

Within this framework, the rights of minorities must be clearly defined, enforceable, and fully protected within the country’s legal system.

Civil liberties—including freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, freedom of association, freedom of the press, and equal participation in public affairs—are fundamental rights of citizenship, not privileges subject to suspension. The Party emphasizes that sustainable national security is not achieved through the suppression of differences, but through equal participation and mutual respect. Minorities must feel that they are stakeholders in the country’s future, not marginalized within its political order. Any form of structural discrimination will inevitably lead to distrust, dissatisfaction, and deeper societal divisions.

From the Party’s perspective, a just society is one in which the law applies equally to all and access to opportunities is not restricted by identity.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party considers the defense of civil liberties an essential part of upholding human dignity and the quality of governance.

The future of Iran must be a country where differences are recognized and respected, without undermining national unity.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: Children’s Rights and the Responsibility of the Future State Toward New Generations
Date: March 01, 2026 

The Cyrus National Covenant Party considers the status of children a fundamental measure of the moral and institutional quality of any society.

Children must not become victims of chronic poverty, domestic violence, educational discrimination, social insecurity, or political exploitation.

The right to quality education, the right to health, the right to safety, the right to grow in a healthy environment, and the right to equal access to life opportunities are among the most essential rights of children. The Party emphasizes that a child is not an object of sympathy, but a holder of independent rights.

Policy-making in the field of children must be grounded in research, expertise, data, and clearly defined protective standards. No society can achieve deep and lasting reconstruction without sustained investment in its future generations.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party calls for children’s education to be free from ideological bias, discrimination, and chronic inefficiency. Furthermore, supporting children’s mental health in a society that has long been exposed to pressure, crisis, and instability is a fundamental necessity.

Children in deprived regions, working children, migrant children, children with special needs, and those exposed to violence must be given priority within targeted support policies.

The future of Iran is directly tied to the quality of life and education provided to its children today. The Cyrus National Covenant Party regards the protection of children’s rights not as a peripheral policy, but as a core component of the civilizational foundation of Iran’s future.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: The Rights of the Families of the Fallen and the Necessity of Preserving National Memory
Date: March 03, 2026 

The Cyrus National Covenant Party recognizes the families of the fallen as bearers of a part of the historical conscience of the Iranian nation.

The suffering of these families is not merely a private matter; it is part of the collective memory of a country that has endured difficult and costly periods. The Party emphasizes that the dignity and status of these families must be acknowledged in public policy, official discourse, and national memory. A society that ignores the pain of victims and their survivors risks the repetition of violence and the normalization of suffering.

From the Party’s perspective, respect for the families of the fallen must go beyond expressions of sympathy and be translated into legal, therapeutic, economic, and commemorative frameworks. Documenting the truth, preserving records, safeguarding names, and preventing the distortion of events are integral parts of this responsibility.

The families of victims must not be left in isolation, vulnerability, or neglect.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party believes that national healing, without addressing the suffering of survivors, will remain incomplete and superficial. Honoring these families is not merely an act of respect, but a component of rebuilding moral integrity and social trust.

The future of Iran must be a country in which national suffering is acknowledged and the dignity of survivors is preserved.

The Party regards the defense of the rights of the families of the fallen as part of the broader path toward truth, justice, and the preservation of national memory.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: The Rights of Political Prisoners and the Standards of Legal Justice
Date: March 05, 2026 

The Cyrus National Covenant Party considers the condition of political prisoners one of the most important indicators of the health of a country’s legal system.

When thought, criticism, writing, labor activity, or civil engagement leads to detention and punishment, it reveals a fundamental disruption in the relationship between the state and society. The Party emphasizes that arbitrary detention, torture, forced confessions, prolonged solitary confinement, and denial of medical care are clear violations of human dignity and fundamental rights. Every individual, even in a state of accusation or conviction, possesses inalienable rights.

The right to access independent legal counsel, a fair trial, humane treatment, access to medical care, communication with family, and protection from humiliation are among these essential rights. The Cyrus National Covenant Party maintains that imprisonment must not be used as a tool for breaking individuals, enforcing social exclusion, or pursuing political retaliation.

Judicial proceedings must be transparent, subject to oversight, and based on clear legal standards, not influenced by hidden security considerations. The treatment of political prisoners is a clear reflection of a government’s relationship with the rule of law and human dignity.

The future of Iran cannot overcome its chronic challenges without restoring standards of justice and rebuilding trust in the legal system.

The Party regards the defense of the rights of political prisoners as a defense of the dignity of law, the independence of the judiciary, and the sanctity of human beings.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP)
Subject: Participation of Qualified Professionals in National Reconstruction and the Introduction of Competent Representatives
Date: March 07, 2026 

The Cyrus National Covenant Party declares that the reconstruction of Iran requires individuals who embody a combination of expertise, experience, integrity, and national commitment.

The administration of the country during the transitional period and beyond must not be reduced to the distribution of positions based on factional affiliations, short-term power-sharing, or partisan preferences.

The Party emphasizes meritocracy as one of the fundamental pillars in building a modern state. Future representatives, managers, and officials must possess decision-making capability, an understanding of the public interest, institutional competence, and professional discipline.

From the Party’s perspective, the future parliament, executive bodies, and policymaking structures of the country must rely on individuals capable of balancing ideals, realism, and executive responsibility. Within this framework, the introduction of party candidates signifies the presentation of accountable, efficient, and measurable figures, not merely individuals loyal to a political label.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party expresses its readiness to introduce its qualified members, within the framework of law and transparency, for participation in the reconstruction of the country’s institutions.

The Party views national reconstruction not merely as an infrastructural or economic project, but as a comprehensive process that includes restoring public trust, revitalizing administrative capacity, and redefining the relationship between the state and society.

Without competent and committed personnel, even the most well-designed plans will remain at the level of rhetoric.

The future of Iran requires leaders who do not regard the country as personal property, but as a public trust.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party considers this principle part of its responsibility toward the future order of Iran.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP) Subject: International Relations, Engagement with Global Institutions, and the Framework of Legitimate Lobbying  Date: March 12, 2026 

The Cyrus National Covenant Party considers the development of international relations a component of legitimate political diplomacy and a necessary instrument for presenting the realities of Iran to the world.

The Party believes that dialogue with parliaments, governments, civil society institutions, human rights organizations, think tanks, and reputable international media must be conducted within the framework of national interests while preserving political independence.

In the Party’s view, lobbying is neither a hidden nor a non-transparent activity; rather, it is a professional effort to articulate positions, defend the rights of the Iranian people, and enhance international understanding of the country’s conditions.

Such engagements must be based on honesty, consistency of position, professional language, and a precise understanding of global dynamics. The Party emphasizes that all external interactions should be guided by the principles of supporting freedom, human rights, secularism, regional stability, and a stable future for Iran. At the same time, preserving national decision-making independence and avoiding unhealthy dependency are fundamental conditions of any credible foreign relationship.

From the Party’s perspective, success in the international arena requires political credibility, coherence in discourse, and the capacity to responsibly represent the public interest. The future of Iran, in reclaiming its rightful position in the world, will depend on measured, respectful, and mutually beneficial relations.

The Cyrus National Covenant Party regards external engagement as a complement to domestic responsibility and a component of capacity-building for national reconstruction.

Official Statement of the Cyrus National Covenant Party (CNCP) Subject: 

Establishment of Committees for Investigation, Documentation, and the Preparation of Legal and Analytical Reports  

Date: March 17, 2026 

The Cyrus National Covenant Party emphasizes the necessity of establishing specialized mechanisms for investigation, examination, documentation, and the preparation of evidence-based reports in the fields of human rights, political violence, and activities related to both state and non-state terrorism.

From the Party’s perspective, without accurate documentation of facts, there can be no accountability, justice, national reconciliation, or prevention of historical distortion. Investigative committees must operate on the basis of methodology, verification, reliable evidence, and professional discipline. The purpose of documentation is not the production of propaganda, but the construction of a legal and analytical record for the nation.

Comprehensive and precise reports can assist international institutions, decision-making centers, and justice-oriented structures in gaining a deeper understanding of Iran’s situation. Documentation also prevents victims from being forgotten and protects historical events from being altered for short-term political interests. The Cyrus National Covenant Party underscores that independent investigation is a prerequisite for any process of transitional justice and the restoration of public moral order. These mechanisms must be capable of classifying information, safeguarding records, recording testimonies, and analyzing patterns and developments. For Iran to move beyond cycles of violence, it requires documented truth, structured memory, and responsible institutions dedicated to recording reality. The Party regards the establishment of specialized investigative and reporting committees as part of the essential infrastructure for truth, accountability, and the prevention of recurring crises related to terrorism in Iran.

:SNOIRE 

Is Reza Pahlavi a member of the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not.

Are Reza Pahlavi’s views aligned with the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not. Then why did he express outrage and protest against this massacre?

Is Obama a member of the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not.

Then why did he express outrage and protest against this massacre?

Why did human rights communities condemn this massacre? Are human rights communities members of the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not.

Then why did all of them unanimously express outrage and protest against this massacre?

Answer:

The answer to these questions lies in one fundamental global principle:

Separating human rights from political positions, backgrounds, and beliefs.

The reason Prince Reza Pahlavi, Barack Obama, Western governments, and international human rights communities condemned these killings, despite their absolute opposition to the ideology and record of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, comes down to four essential reasons:

1. The primacy of the right to life in international law

Under international conventions, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention, the right to life, security, and protection from torture belongs to human beings, not necessarily to political parties. From a human rights perspective, the residents of Camp Ashraf, regardless of what beliefs they held, were unarmed human beings who were under international protection, and shooting at them, carrying out mass executions, and launching rocket attacks against them constituted a war crime and a grave violation of human rights.

1. Protection of innocent individuals and children

As was also mentioned in Reza Pahlavi’s letter to Obama, a significant portion of the residents of these camps did not necessarily have any role in the military decisions or past terrorist record of the organization. Many of them were the children of members or individuals who had become trapped inside the organization’s internal structure. Condemning this massacre was a defense of the lives of defenseless human beings who had become tools in a political and military game.

1. Preventing a dangerous precedent in international relations

If the international community and human rights institutions had remained silent in the face of the massacre of a group, even one with a negative background, it would have sent a message to the Iraqi government and other authoritarian regimes that they could brutally massacre any refugee or opposition group, without trial, under the pretext of being “terrorists” or holding “extremist views.” This would have discredited the entire framework of refugee treaties and international law.

1. Defending moral and human principles

In the civilized world, political opposition to a movement must not cause people to close their eyes to a human tragedy and organized torture. By condemning this crime, Reza Pahlavi and other international observers showed that human and moral principles stand above political divisions. They did not want hostility toward the leadership of this organization to place them on the same side as the crimes of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or Iran affiliated militias in Iraq. 

This report confirms the details of Reza Pahlavi’s letter to Barack Obama in December 2011.

According to the BBC report, the main points of the letter included the following:

Warning of a human tragedy: the closure of Camp Ashraf could lead to a catastrophe.

Separation of beliefs from rights: political differences must be separated from basic human rights.

Defense of children: children had no role in the organization’s past.

Violation of the Geneva Convention: international legal protections had not been properly respected.

Risk of forced return: there was a serious possibility that the residents could be forcibly sent back to Iran.

Request for U.S. assistance: President Obama was urged to pressure the Iraqi government.ifferent views, one human foundation, and human rights above all societies

We will not remain silent in the face of the massacre and the killing of Camp Ashraf residents, including children and unarmed individuals.

These painful images are from Camp Ashraf, the base and place of residence of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran in Iraq. They show the consequences of a pre planned attack carried out by Iraqi military forces, under a government aligned with the Islamic Republic of Iran, against the residents of this camp.

Our position must be stated clearly and without ambiguity. We are politically, ideologically, and fundamentally opposed to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. The worldview of this organization is entirely different from the worldview of the Cyrus National Covenant Party and its members. We reject the organization’s outdated and reactionary structure, its extremist ideology, and its record of violence and terrorism. We believe that the ideology and political method of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran are harmful to Iranian society and must not be presented as a model for the future of Iran.

At the same time, our opposition to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran does not mean silence in the face of a human tragedy. Human rights are not selective. The right to life, protection from massacre, and protection of children and unarmed individuals must be defended even when the victims belong to a political organization with which we strongly disagree.

According to official email records, in 2009 the Secretary of the Party completed and submitted a detailed analytical report to the Ambassador and the Political Deputy of the United States Embassy in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The matter was also brought to the attention of the United States Senate. That report documented the deep and fundamental political distance between our position and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.

Therefore, there are differences as vast as galaxies between our political views and the views of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. Nevertheless, the massacre and human tragedy that occurred at Camp Ashraf remain a human rights issue that cannot be ignored. For defenders of human rights, especially free and open minded people, silence in the face of such a crime is impossible.

Condemnations of the Camp Ashraf massacre

Did Prince Reza Pahlavi also object to the massacre at Camp Ashraf or make a statement about it at the time?

Yes. He separated the human rights dimension from political disagreements.

Reza Pahlavi stated that despite serious political disagreements, extremist beliefs, and the terrorist background of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, the basic human rights of the camp residents, especially children and defenseless individuals, must be treated separately from the organization’s past.

QUESTIONS:

 ▶️  Is Reza Pahlavi a member of the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not.

Are Reza Pahlavi’s views aligned with the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not. Then why did he express outrage and protest against this massacre?

 ▶️ Is Obama a member of the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not.

Then why did he express outrage and protest against this massacre?

 ▶️  Why did human rights communities condemn this massacre? Are human rights communities members of the Mojahedin Organization? Absolutely not.

Then why did all of them unanimously express outrage and protest against this massacre?

 Answer:

 The answer to these questions lies in one fundamental global principle:

Separating human rights from political positions, backgrounds, and beliefs.

The reason Prince Reza Pahlavi, Barack Obama, Western governments, and international human rights communities condemned these killings, despite their absolute opposition to the ideology and record of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, comes down to four essential reasons:

1. The primacy of the right to life in international law

 📌  Under international conventions, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention, the right to life, security, and protection from torture belongs to human beings, not necessarily to political parties. From a human rights perspective, the residents of Camp Ashraf, regardless of what beliefs they held, were unarmed human beings who were under international protection, and shooting at them, carrying out mass executions, and launching rocket attacks against them constituted a war crime and a grave violation of human rights.

1. Protection of innocent individuals and children

 📌  As was also mentioned in Reza Pahlavi’s letter to Obama, a significant portion of the residents of these camps did not necessarily have any role in the military decisions or past terrorist record of the organization. Many of them were the children of members or individuals who had become trapped inside the organization’s internal structure. Condemning this massacre was a defense of the lives of defenseless human beings who had become tools in a political and military game.

1. Preventing a dangerous precedent in international relations

 📌  If the international community and human rights institutions had remained silent in the face of the massacre of a group, even one with a negative background, it would have sent a message to the Iraqi government and other authoritarian regimes that they could brutally massacre any refugee or opposition group, without trial, under the pretext of being “terrorists” or holding “extremist views.” This would have discredited the entire framework of refugee treaties and international law.

1. Defending moral and human principles

 📌  In the civilized world, political opposition to a movement must not cause people to close their eyes to a human tragedy and organized torture. By condemning this crime, Reza Pahlavi and other international observers showed that human and moral principles stand above political divisions. They did not want hostility toward the leadership of this organization to place them on the same side as the crimes of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or Iran affiliated militias in Iraq.

False Patriots and the Abuse of Reza Pahlavi’s Name 

Unfortunately, however, there are individuals among them who, in essence and in substance, act as the thousand legged agents of the Islamic Republic, while outwardly presenting themselves as monarchists, republicans, patriots, and defenders of the Iranian nation’s suffering in the struggle to move beyond the Islamic Republic. They even claim to lead the Iranian people’s revolutions after 1979. Regrettably, many of them appear mostly under the image of monarchism.

Some of these individuals, in their private thoughts, still dream of the same harem of Fath Ali Shah Qajar. They claim to be connected to Prince Reza Pahlavi, claim to have personal conversations with him, and unfortunately benefit from spreading such rumors.

They even claim to lead the revolutions of the Iranian people after 1979. Unfortunately, they mostly appear under the image of monarchism and, through calculated actions and a preplanned scenario, attempt to inflict destructive moral blows, manipulate public opinion against the direction of the national revolution of Iranians, and damage the intellectual structure of the leader of the transition period in the eyes of society.

Some of these individuals, in their private thoughts and personal circles, still dream of the same harem of Fath Ali Shah Qajar. They claim to be connected to Prince Reza Pahlavi, claim to have personal conversations with him, and, through a few pictures and portraits, present themselves as being affiliated with him. Ultimately, unfortunately, they benefit from spreading such rumors.
