This action by the government of Australia takes place only a week after the verdict of the Berlin court which identified Khamenei, Rafsanjani and other officials of the regime for direct involvement in the assassination of opponents, and while only two days ago the U.N. Human Rights Commission strongly condemned Iran's medieval regime for its violation of human rights and export of terrorism. This is a brazen insult to all recognized international standards and an obvious green light to the mullahs ruling Iran for continuing their torture and execution inside Iran and export of terrorism abroad.
