Mr. Massoud Rajavi, President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, described the new repressive law, adopted after the nationwide maneuvers in recent weeks by the Bassij forces and the Guards Corps, as reflecting the height of the clerical regime's fear of spreading popular protests and uprisings which pave the way for the move by the National Liberation Army of Iran.
Mr. Rajavi said: At the same time, the adoption of this law illustrates that recent repressive fatwas by the regime's leader, Khamenei, and calls by other officials to hooligans, organized under the name of the Bassij, to roam the streets to persecute, harass and assault the citizenry, especially women and teenagers, has failed to curb the spread of protest actions.
The NCR President stressed that the regime's irremediable economic crisis, reflected in Rafsanjani's budget for next year, on the one hand, and the active and lively presence of popular resistance units throughout the country and their widespread support for the Resistance's President-elect and their distribution of her 16-point platform for establishing freedom and democracy in Iran, which the public has enthusiastically welcomed, on the other, has terribly frightened the clerics of the dark and bleak future awaiting them.
Mr. Rajavi added: But, neither these laws, nor the slaughter of the people at home, nor terrorist attacks and propaganda ploys against the Iranian Resistance abroad, will save the anti-human mullahs from their inevitable fate of being overthrown by the National Liberation Army of Iran in step with popular uprisings.
