Beth: Maryam Rajavi, the elected president of the Iranian Resistance, welcomed the imposition of sanctions against eight leaders of the Anti-People’s Guard and Basij and the repressive Internal Security Forces, and those who ordered the shooting of protesters during the November 2019 uprising.

Mrs. Rajavi said that the Iranian Resistance has always confirmed that Hazm is the only language understood by the ruling mullahs in Iran. And renewed the necessity to include the entire Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Ministry of Intelligence on the list of terrorism, to prosecute and expel their agents and mercenaries, and to revoke the nationality and potential asylum cases of these mercenaries in Europe.

She emphasized that, according to our experience of over 40 years, they are not political refugees or ordinary citizens, but rather implementers, spies and terrorists of the Quds Force and the mullahs’ intelligence.

It is worth noting that the order to suppress the bloody November 2019 uprising and the killing of at least 1,500 protesters was issued directly by Khamenei, the jurist guardian of the mullahs’ regime.

Today, the European Union included the following names on the list of terrorists and sanctions, namely: Major General Hussein Salami, Commander of the Guard Forces, Brigadier General Hussein Ashtari, Chief of Police, Brigadier General Ghulam Reza Soleimani, Commander of the vulnerable Basij, and Brigadier General Muhammad Pakpour, Commander of the Ground Forces of the Guard Forces, Brigadier General Hassan Karmi, commander of the Special Units of the Internal Security Forces, Gholamreza Diaei, the former head of Evin Prison, Brigadier General Hassan Shahswar, Commander of the Guard Forces in Khuzestan, and Layla Wathaqi, the governor of the city of Jerusalem in Tehran province, who ordered the shooting of protesters during the November 2019 uprising.
