Iran Protests and Human Rights Violations

I have to say, a lot of the footage was so graphic that I wouldn't be able to

include it in this show because it won't be able to be on YouTube.

This week, the Islamic Republic of Iran sent its

president to New York to

tell the world that it is the victim.

Well, the people of Iran filmed what their

regime did to them this past January,

and the protests had spread to more than one hundred cities and towns in all

31 of Iran's provinces. From the very first night,

the people made it

clear what they wanted, regime change.

They chanted, "Reza Shah, may your soul rest in peace." Within 24

hours, the regime sent in the Basij, first pellets and smoke

grenades. Then we saw snipers on the roof

and live ammunition,

and the people kept coming back night after night.

Then the crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, called on Iranians to take to the streets

on

January 8th. It was a moment of profound hope,

and at one point,

even the police in Abdanan stood with the protesters.

The Islamic Republic did respond to these protests with bullets, and

however bad you thought the situation was in Iran in January, I

promise you, it was worse. Uh, the snipers

and machine gunners, they were aiming intentionally for the eyes

and the face of these protesters. They shot children in the head and in the

chest. We saw IRGC agents literally dancing

gleefully while they massacred civilians.

We saw families who dug bullets out of their own sons and daughters

at home because going to a hospital meant arrest or, worse,

execution. The screams of the families that night are

absolutely chilling. The Islamic Republic, in this footage, we saw how they

used broadcasting building, uh, the building itself to

open fire on the people protesting below.

The people who were actually taking a great risk to film the things that they're

filming actually did pay, uh, the price, and we don't know what

happened to a lot of them. Now, uh, I do wanna say that the morning after, on

January 8th, the hospitals and morgues, uh, were so full

that they actually ripped up the carpets in the corridors and started

piling the bodies on top of each other there.

One morgue was actually so overwhelmed, it put up the faces of the dead on a

slideshow and told families to call out when they

recognized, uh, their child or their loved one.

More than 30,000 Iranian protesters were butchered by the

Islamic Republic on those nights.

And you know, I'm sorry to say it, uh, but the only thing that I can

compare the footage that I saw to is the October 7th, uh, footage

from Hamas. We saw the same glee over dead civilians,

uh, because this was their October 7th.

And this footage, all raw, is hours upon hours of evidence of the

crimes against humanity that are committed by the Islamic Republic

against

the Iranian people and what happened in those streets,

in those

hospitals, at those funerals. And frankly, it belongs in

front of an international crimes against humanity tribunal because the

men who gave the orders need to stand trial
