Speech
at conference on the occasion of the international day against death penalty

The
clerics hang young men under the name of Islam, despite the fact that the
dignity and life of any human being is precious and must be respected.
According
to the holy books, killing one person is akin to killing the entire humanity.
The
murderous mullahs have executed more people this year than they did last year.
While a single execution is enough to torment everyone’s conscience, world
powers have remained disgracefully silent over the situation in Iran,
especially as they were engaged in the nuclear talks and were busy striking a
deal that would open the path to doing business with the regime. Sacrificing
human lives at the altar of commercial interests have never been a good
investment for anyone.
If
Western governments had stood up to the abuse of human rights in Iran, the
mullahs could have never expanded their barbarity to Syria and Iraq.
Benefitting
from the policy of appeasement, the mullahs have easily occupied large parts of
Iraq . They also continued their deadly intervention in Syria to prop up the
tyrant of Damascus. The outcome has been the death of 300,000 people in Syria,
and the flight of refugees abroad and the emergence of ISIS.
