The countries of the Group of Seven today, on Friday, declared their support for the ongoing protests in Iran and denounced the “brutal” repression of the Iranian government as well as Tehran’s alleged “destabilising” behaviour around the world.
The conclusion of a two-day conference of foreign ministers in Monster said, “We are members of the Group of Seven, and we declare our solidarity for the fundamental aspirations of the Iranian people for a future in which human rights and security are upheld.”
Along with Mesa Amini’s murder on September 16, the statement denounced the “brutal and non-powerful use” of force in the Iranian protests that broke out shortly thereafter.
She stated that youngsters and peaceful protestors are subjected to excessive force by the Iranian government.
The Iranian protests have been going on for the sixth week in a row at this point. The “International International” station reported the most recent field events, stating that security bullets were used to shoot and murder demonstrators in front of the Qudamiya building in Khash, a city in the southeast of the nation.
Activists stated that as the demonstrators gathered in the streets and began chanting against Khamenei, the security forces began using tear gas in the city.
While Iranian security forces continued the fire incident to deal with the demonstrations in Isfahan, irate demonstrators attacked security personnel in Tabriz.
40 Iranian human rights attorneys publicly criticised the country’s leaders and declared their opinion that the repression efforts that had previously been crushed by the opposition for decades would fail this time and that the protestors calling for a new political system would triumph.
“The administration is still stuck in delusions and believes that it can silence mouths by repression, detention, and fighting, but the stream of people will finally drop the regime,” the lawyers, some of whom were in the country and others who were not, said in a statement reported by Reuters.
“The protests that broke out after Muhsa Amini’s (22-year-old) death as a result of the ethics police’s imprisonment of her due to her “inappropriate clothing” on September 16 by the dominant religious establishment.
The Iranian political system is a convoluted amalgam of the president, elected parliament, and religious authority.
The president is conducting daily government affairs, but he is responsible before the Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who adopts a clear hostile approach to the West.
A supervisory entity consisting of clerics and judges, who owes loyalty to the supreme leader and tends to impose strict political and social restrictions, has the authority to object to laws and make decisions regarding who is allowed to run in the elections.
One of the biggest threats to the current administration since the revolution in 1979 is the nationwide demonstrations that broke out, in which death to Khamenei chants are heard.
The Group of Seven denounces Iran’s protesters being put down “brutally.”
