More than 100 Belgian parliamentarians from the main political parties and all regions of the country have joined the international outrage at the surge in executions in Iran. (see below)
Situation in Iran
As the Iranian people seek a free Iran, the Islamic fundamentalist regime has responded with an escalation of executions, mass arrests and widespread repression, particularly against women.
The regime uses executions as a tactic of terror to suppress any dissent. Over 860 executions were carried out in 2023 and more than 230 in 2024, making Iran the world’s leading executioner of women and juvenile offenders.
The unprecedented boycott of the recent sham elections in Iran, with less than 10 per cent participation, reaffirmed the absolute rejection of the regime during the 2022 uprising in which the Iranian people declared their rejection of any form of dictatorship, be it the Shah or the Mullahs.
As the ruling religious dictatorship has proved incapable of reform and has blocked all political avenues for change, the parliamentarians declared their support for the Iranian people’s right to rise up against tyranny and repression, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
They rejected the absurd actions of the regime’s judiciary against 104 members of the Iranian opposition who are political refugees in Europe.
