WASHINGTON, DC - Beth: A bipartisan conference will consider the impact of Ebrahim Raisi's presidency on Tehran's hard-line stance toward nuclear talks and ongoing regional interference.

It will also address Ibrahim's key role in the 1988 massacre of thousands of political prisoners.

Speakers will present policy recommendations for the United States to consider when dealing with Raisi.

Following the G-20 summit, 1,000 Iranian-American community leaders from 40 countries and victims of Ebrahim Raisi's crimes will join the conference to demand accountability and urge the United States to lead decisive policy toward Iran.

The organizers support the Ten Points Plan of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran for a Democratic and Non-nuclear Republic of Iran that promotes peace in the Middle East and beyond.

Time: Thursday, October 28, 2021, 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM EST and 17:30-20:00 Mecca Time

Venue: Washington Hilton - Grand Ballroom

Speakers:

Mr. Joseph Lieberman, Former Senator and Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate

Mr. Michael Mukezzi, 81st Attorney General of the United States

Mr. Robert Torreselli, Former Democratic Senator

General James Conway, 34th Commander of the United States Marine Corps

the background:

The Iranian regime has committed a serious violation of its nuclear obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, as evidenced by IAEA reports.

The most striking feature of Raisi's government is the rise of former senior leaders in the regime's mullahs' guard forces.

In addition to his deputy for economic affairs, nearly two-thirds of the nineteen ministers are IRGC veterans.

Many of the governors are also commanders in the IRGC.

The appointments are a desperate attempt to deal with the volatile state of society and the prospect of popular uprisings.

Protests have continued in Iran since 2017, with rising discontent over economic and social crises, corruption and a lack of freedoms.

In the summer of 1988, the Iranian regime carried out secret mass executions of 30,000 political prisoners, 90% of whom belonged to the main Iranian opposition group, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran.

Ibrahim Raisi was a member of the "death committee" responsible for carrying out this massacre. In December 2018, Amnesty International released a comprehensive report declaring the 1988 massacre "ongoing crimes against humanity". At the 117th Congress, Resolution H.Res.118 with 250 co-sponsors referred to the massacre as a crime against humanity and called for accountability and accountability.
