Remembering Dr. Hossein Fatemi, hero of Iran’s nationalization of oil, executed on November 10, 1954, at just 35 years old by order of the Shah.
As Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq’s Foreign Minister, Fatemi was a man of noble courage who remained fiercely loyal to him and the anti-colonial movement until his death.
Without the infamous 1953 coup and Fatemi’s execution, Iran and the Middle East would look vastly different today, spared from decades of brutal tyranny.

Yesterday, along with other UN Mandate Holders, I issued a press statement expressing grave concern over the escalating attacks on the right to legal defence in Iran and the growing pressure exerted on lawyers who are simply carrying out their professional duties.
Between September 2025 and September 2026, at least 135 lawyers reportedly faced judicial or security measures, while at least 23 were reportedly arrested following the January 2026 protests.
Lawyers have faced intimidation, harassment, prosecution and other forms of retaliation merely for representing clients, defending human rights and fulfilling their professional responsibilities. Such practices constitute a serious assault on the independence of the legal profession and undermine the very foundations of the rule of law.
We are also concerned about human rights lawyer Amirsalar Davoudi, who was arrested after appearing before the Isfahan Revolutionary Court for his clients, and has remained in detention since then with concerning reports regarding his health.
No lawyer should face threats, punishment or persecution for doing their job. The ability to provide legal representation, defend individuals and challenge unlawful conduct is not a privilege: it is an essential safeguard of justice and a fundamental component of the right to a fair trial.
Iran must immediately end the persecution and intimidation of lawyers, safeguard the independence of the legal profession and bar associations,, and uphold its international human rights obligations.
The right to legal defence must be protected, not punished.

The most serious case cited by Reuters involved Masood Masjoody, an Iranian-born academic and political activist in Canada who once supported Pahlavi but later became a critic and filed lawsuits against Pahlavi and several people associated with his movement.
According to Reuters, Masjoody had publicly accused two staunch Pahlavi loyalists of plotting to kill him. In March 2026, after his body was found, Canadian authorities charged those two individuals with first-degree murder.
Reuters reported that both had been identified as Pahlavi supporters.

On Nov. 4, 1978, I watched Iran’s evening news show the Shah’s forces opening fire on students at Tehran University. I remember Tehran erupting in anger the next day. I remember the Shah telling Iranians he had heard the message of their revolution.
The Islamic Republic’s brutality does not excuse the Shah’s dictatorship, SAVAK’s repression, or the corruption of his regime.
Reza Pahlavi has publicly spoken about contacts with the #IRGCTerrorists & is "proud" of his family's dictatorial past.
No to the Shah. No to the mullahs. Yes to a democratic republic.

A number is claimed. Repeated thousands of times. Amplified by the media. Eventually, it is treated as fact.
This is how artificial majorities can be created in the public perception.
Deliberately spreading false figures to manufacture political significance and the illusion of widespread support is not public relations. It is disinformation for political gain or to maintain power.
The Pahlavi movement must be held to the same standard.
The truth of a claim is not determined by how loudly or frequently it is repeated, but by whether it can be independently verified.
A lie repeated a million times is still a lie.

🔎 Key findings in the new US Federal Court ruling:
• Repression in Iran never ended. The Shah’s regime and the Islamic Republic form one continuous chain of repression.
• SAVAK did not disappear after the revolution. It was transformed into the current Intelligence Ministry.

This morning, the clerical regime executed 20-year-olds Amir Hossein Maleki and Amir Hossein Ebrahimi over the “Alikhani Square” protests in Isfahan during the January 2026 uprising.
Faced with growing resistance, the regime uses violent executions of PMOI/MEK political prisoners and rebellious protesters to instill fear and crush another uprising by the people of Iran. Such cruelty, however, only strengthens the resolve of young Iranians fighting for freedom against religious fascism.
I call on the United Nations, member states, and international human rights organizations to take urgent action to stop these political executions. I reiterate the need to prosecute the regime's criminal leaders and judges for five decades of crimes against humanity.
