Safety for independent Iranian diaspora activists

Petition addressed to: Europol, Interpol, FBI, European Parliament

Hereby, we, the undersigned, call on international law enforcement agencies, including the RCMP, Europol, and Interpol, as well as human rights organizations, to investigate and take immediate action against a growing wave of organized violence and digital persecution done by the Iranian diaspora monarchists targeting independent Iranian activists.

This group of extremists have already threatened opposers of the Iranian monarchy for countless number of times and by different means; including direct threats to physical harm, rape, etc. through social media platforms and directly during protests on the streets of European countries, Canada, United States, etc.

A recent murder case conducted by the Canada police department found Masoud Masjoudi, an Iranian mathematician and activist residence of Canada, murdered by two Iranian monarchists: Mehdi Ahmadzadeh Razavi (48) and Arezou Soltani (45), both residents of British Columbia. The motive is still under investigation (RCMP, The Guardian, Global News).

The new dangerous terroristic movement:

Now, they have created a website ( freeiranact.com ) which is a platform designed for reporting and listing private information (including name, photo, full address, social media handles, etc.) of any anti-monarchist person from Iranian diaspora, who has spoken by any means against the previous Iranian regime. They document photos of people in protests, screenshots of their comments and posts on social media, etc. and provide a platform for adding to this list and extending it.

In our opinion this website is a very dangerous call for terror, and if its owners and organizers are not arrested, it can lead to serial murders or physical harms done by monarchists to people listed in the website, most of whom are residents of the European countries, Canada, United States, etc.

We urge the police departments to help preventing this terroristic movement and protecting the residents.
