“Negotiating with the mullahs’ regime constitutes a betrayal,” Mohammed Mohaddessin, an official of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said at a press conference. He accused Tehran of human rights violations.
The NCRI screened what it said was never-before-seen videotape footage of public hangings in western Iran, in which one of the victims accuses the Islamic republic before his execution of “plotting to kill” him.
Based in a northern Paris suburb, the NCRI is the political face of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran, which is considered a terrorist group by the United States and the European Union. The NCRI rejects the label.
