Iranian opposition sign open letter calling for tougher measures over regime’s actions against protesters
, signed by 77 people, accuses the regime of attacking its citizens from within, in the same way as Russia is attacking Ukraine from the outside. Its signatories include Kylie Moore-Gilbert, the Australian academic and former political prisoner; Elika Ashoori, the daughter of the freed British political prisonerThe letter is striking partly because it has brought together the often divided and dispersed Iranian opposition movement.
The letter says: “These young Iranians are bold and brave and not willing to give into the ruthlessness of the regime any longer. They are fighting for their life and they are fighting with their lives. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime is antagonising their own population by imprisoning, torturing and killing. And it is antagonising the ‘free world’ with a cruel game of chess, with a hostage-taking policy using dual citizens or non-Iranian citizens as pawns.
“Now is the time to take action and to support the Iranian people in their struggle against a dictatorship.”
