“Since assuming office in 2013, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has not
delivered on his promises to improve conditions for religious minority
communities,” USCIRF Chair Katrina Lantos Swett said in a statement.
“In fact, the Iranian government
has imprisoned more than 350 people, including 150 Sunni Muslims, 100 Baha’is,
90 Christians and at least a dozen Sufi Muslims, for their beliefs.”
USCIRF’s scathing remarks hit Tehran prior to its appearance Thursday
before the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). Iran will announce
which, if any, of the UNHRC’s recommendations it will follow for improving its
human rights.

Mrs. Maryam
Rajavi , the Iranian
Resistance’s President-elect, strongly condemns the brutal and repulsive
terrorist attacks on Bardo Museum and expresses the deepest sympathies of the
Iranian people and the Resistance with the people and President of Tunisia.
She stressed that those who planned this atrocity are taking revenge on the Tunisian people for their resolute rejection of fundamentalism and extremism under the veneer of Islam. She added that slaughter of innocent civilians of any nationality on whatever pretext is a crime against humanity and even more unacceptable when committed in the name of Islam, a religion of compassion and emancipation.
Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that terrorism and fundamentalism turned into a pressing global threat when the religious dictatorship came to power in Iran.
