18 November 2013. A World to Win News Service. The following
statement was issued by the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist Leninist Maoist).
Since then the Islamic Republic of Iran has continued this wave of executions in
Kurdistan and other regions of Iran. (cpimlm.com)
Habibullah Golparipour, a young Kurdish activist who has been in an
Islamic Republic prison for three years, was executed on 23 October 2013
in Orumieh, north-west Iran, and lost his dear life. Accused of anti-regime
activities and connections with anti-regime groups, he had been in prison since
October 2009, following the uprising that erupted after the presidential
election. He endured the difficult conditions that the regime's mercenaries have
created for prisoners, including intense tortures, and spent long periods in
isolation. But he did not give in to the regime's
brutalities.
At the same time, it has been reported that 16 Baluchi political
prisoners were executed on 26 October in reprisal for the killing of 18 regime
mercenaries in Saravan (a city in Sistan-Baluchistan Province, Iran, bordering
Pakistan and Afghanistan) the day before. This is not the first such crime of
the regime and will not be the last. Iran is the prison of nations. National
oppression is a major pillar of this regime and we will witness such crimes as
long as the exploiting classes are in power. There is a long list of youth in
Kurdistan, Baluchistan and Khuzestan provinces waiting to be executed, and at
the slightest sign of unrest in these regions, some will be
hanged.
Following the Saravan incident, Hassan Rouhani, Iran's new
president, the so-called champion of "heroic flexibility", assigned the Interior
ministry to form a special commission in cooperation with security forces to
confront "rebels". Furthermore, the prosecutor-general of Zahedan (the capital
of Sistan-Baluchistan province) justified the executions by saying "We warned
that we would retaliate!" [BBC reports no evidence that any of the executed had
any connection with the death of the border guards.]
As the Islamic regime continues to display ""heroic flexibility"
with the West, it is also stepping up its oppression and crimes, including the
executions of youth, and the poverty of the people is becoming even more
intensified. This is the regime's internal reaction to the crisis in the Middle
East. There is no doubt that these criminal acts are indications of the
bankruptcy and failure of a totally rotten regime that is hoping to extend its
disgusting life a little longer.
The struggle of the oppressed nations against national oppression
will once again demonstrate that the Islamic regime will reap what it has sown.
The regime's viciousness and brutal plans should not and will not
go unanswered. We call on workers, students, women and youth to convert the
memorial ceremonies for Habibullah Golparipour and other martyrs into exposures
of the crimes of the regime. This struggle must be turned into an effervescent
political scene. It is with a real revolution independent of imperialists and
reactionaries that we can give these crimes the response they deserve. The
Islamic regime's vicious plans more than ever carry the signs of its fragility.
They carry the signs of earth-shaking events and bloody battles that are on the
way, battles that should put revolutionary violence on the agenda to settle
accounts with the Islamic reactionaries and overthrow their state system with
the goal of a society without oppression and exploitation.
Down with the Islamic Republic of Iran! Long live the right of
self-determination for oppressed nations! Long live revolution! Long live
communism!
