US and EU should rethink their relations with Iran
Some years ago, SouthAfrica was under apartheid rule, where racism was law and part of the state’s
procedures. The greater part of the populace had no rights, and many lives were
lost. Likewise, memories of World War II are still fresh in the minds of our
older generation. Nazi soldiers were allowed extermination of innocent people
and anything that stood in their way. Human dignity lost its meaning at that
time. A question comes to mind, for our present time, “are, by any
means, the daily misdeeds by the present regime in Iran any different than
those of Nazi executioners or the racists of the apartheid South Africa?”
Reports of the 1988 massacre,
in which 30,000 political prisoners in Iran were rounded up and executed in
groups over a 3-4 month period, reveal that the “religious” tyranny had formed a “Death
Commission” that sent
before death squads all those still loyal to their beliefs in freedom and
democracy.
Building gallows and torture chambers have been first
priorities since the fundamentalist state assumed power thirty eight years ago.
The system of Ayatollahs, or as they call it the“Islamic
Republic,” has pushed
itself forward by eliminating others. Forming a “Death
Commission” was not
limited to the 1988 massacre. This is a regime that, just like the Nazis, has
spread death through its repression, terrorism and huge implementation of the
death penalty. This regime has to be rejected, just like apartheid or Nazism.
