Statement by Russian Human Rights Defenders and Civic Activists on the Situation in Iran We, Russian human rights defenders and civic activists, are appalled by reports of the monstrous scale of the massacre in Iran. According to sources independent of the Islamic Republic’s authorities, including Iran International and CBS News, more than 12,000 people may have fallen victim to punitive operations. The political leadership of the Islamic Republic, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei personally are turning Iranian cities into a theatre of war against their own people. A regime of almost total information blockade has been imposed in the country: the internet has been shut down, and mobile communications are being blocked. The current uprising is a response to decades of dictatorship that breeds poverty, maintained through a system of state violence—from the mass executions in prisons in the 1980s to the suppression of student protests in 1999, and from the crushing of the "Green Movement" to the gunning down of participants in the "Woman, Life, Freedom" demonstrations. The people of Iran have shown that their will cannot be broken, and the regime is now attempting to physically annihilate that part of society which refuses to submit. We declare our complete and unconditional solidarity with the people of Iran in these tragic days. We, representatives of Russian civil society, understand the nature of this power. It is particularly bitter to realise that the current Russian authorities, who provide political, military, and diplomatic support to the Iranian authorities, are becoming indirect accomplices in this violence. The Kremlin is supplying the Islamic Republic with the tools to retain power. Russia supplies Iranian security forces with technologies for digital surveillance and censorship, including equipment for deep packet inspection, which allows them to shut down the internet, identify protest leaders, and conduct raids. Moscow transfers modern weaponry to Tehran, including Su-35 fighter jets and air defence systems, and at the diplomatic level supports the narrative of alleged foreign interference, ignoring shocking facts of human rights violations, murders, and torture of Iranian citizens. "We strongly condemn subversive external interference in Iran’s internal political processes. It should be particularly noted that the country’s government is showing readiness for constructive dialogue with society in search of effective ways to neutralise the negative socio-economic consequences of the West's hostile policy," stated Maria Zakharova, Spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry. References to "sovereignty" and "internal affairs of the state" are untenable in such conditions: the mass killing of civilians constitutes a violation of basic human rights. We strongly condemn any attempts by Russian officials to justify the violence in Iran. We demand: From the authorities of the Islamic Republic: Immediately cease the bloodshed, restore internet access, allow independent international observers enter the country, and release political prisoners. From the international community: Take urgent measures of political, diplomatic, and economic pressure to end the violence against protesters and lift the information blockade, consider invoking the mechanism of universal jurisdiction to hold those responsible for mass killings to account. From the authorities of the Russian Federation: Cease all support for the repressive apparatus of the Islamic Republic. As representatives of Russian human rights and civil organisations, we call upon the international community to take all available measures to stop the violence and document the crimes. We express unconditional solidarity with the people of Iran and call on citizens of democratic countries not to look away from this tragedy and to spread information. We mourn the dead.
