The adoption of this resolution, only one day after the summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Tehran, shows that the mullahs have failed in their desperate efforts to take advantage of the OIC summit to conceal their atrocities against the Iranian people.
The NCR President added: 66 cases of stoning and public hangings, assassination of 24 opponents abroad, suppression and widespread arrest of dissident clergy and theology students during Khatami's four months in office, indicate that the criminal mullahs do not have the interest or the power to take a single step back from all-out repression.
Mr. Rajavi said: After 41 censures of the mullahs by UN's different organs, the time has come for the Security Council to impose sanctions on this regime for its atrocities at home and abroad, and to hand over Iran's seats at the UN to the NCR which represents the majority of the Iranian people.
The General Assembly resolution condemned "the large and increasing number of executions," torture and inhuman punishment, "stoning, amputation and public executions," discrimination against religious minorities, and "the lack of full and equal enjoyment of women of human rights." It instructs the clerical regime to take effective measures to eliminate all discriminations against women in law and in practice, and "refrain from violence against members of the Iranian opposition living abroad."
