Fox News, September 20, 2023
UNITED NATIONS – While Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was addressing the United Nations General Assembly inside the elegant chamber on Tuesday, thousands of protesters outside were calling him and his regime terrorist murderers who must face justice.
“Down with the terrorist regime in Iran,” chanted a large crowd of protesters within earshot of the diplomats gathering for the international session.
“Raisi is a murderer! Down with Raisi!” the crowd repeatedly chanted. “Prosecute Raisi, now, now, now! Regime change in Iran by the people of Iran!”
“Several thousand of you have come from all over the United States, from over 40 states to come and deliver a strong message to those at the United Nations, that Ebrahim Raisi does not belong to the United Nations. He is a mass murderer, and he must be put on trial for crimes against humanity and genocide,” Alireza Jafarzadeh, the Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s U.S. office told the gathering.
The NCRI is the largest Iranian opposition organization that has fought against the theocratic regime for decades.
“Today is among the ugliest and darkest days of the U.N. because the bloodthirsty president of the mullahs’ regime is present there,” The group’s leader Maryam Rajavi told the protesters over a video feed.
She called for both Raisi’s and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s prosecution by the world court in the Hague for crimes against humanity.
“They must place the clerical regime under Chapter VII of the U.N Charter as a threat to world peace and security.”
