These demonstrators and voiced support for recent protests in Iran over severe water shortages and hailed the PMOI/MEK’s network of “Resistance Units” inside Iran. These gatherings were held on Saturday, August 27, in Washington, DC, Oslo of Norway, the Netherlands, and Hamburg and Stuttgart of Germany, and Belgium.
In Washington, DC, Iranian Americans rallied in front of the White House urging the Biden administration to deny Raisi a visa for UN General Assembly in New York next month, emphasizing he played a direct role in the summer 1988 prison massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners, mostly PMOI/MEK members and supporters. They chanted slogans calling for the prosecution of Raisi and the mullahs to be thrown into the dustbin of history, adding that Raisi should actually be arrested and prosecuted for human rights violations and crimes against humanity.
