In recent days and weeks, the Islamic Republic regime has begun a new wave of repression. The widespread arrest and detention of political, civil and trade union activists continue apace, and after the 12-day war, a number of political prisoners have also been sent to death squads. These repressions are taking place while the war for power within the regime has spilled over into the media and threats of each other’s punishment have increased, but the result of this crisis is nothing more than the suppression of political and civil forces and revenge against the people, with the aim of spreading an atmosphere of fear and terror to prevent the formation of protests and popular uprisings.
Today, all of us, the leftist, republican, and pro-democracy political movements that claim to support freedom and justice, and beyond these, all activists who oppose repression, imprisonment, and execution, are responsible for organizing resistance to this unbridled aggression of the ruling dictators. We cannot remain silent in the face of a new wave of repression, execution, and intimidation. Defending human dignity and freedom of thought is a common and urgent task for all anti-authoritarian movements in society. What other crimes should the regime commit, how many more arrests should it make, how many more should it kill, and to what extent should it blind us so that we, the opposition forces, wake up and do not sacrifice the cause of democracy for our ideological demarcations?
We call on all political forces and movements, including the leftist, republican, democrat, and pro-libertarian, to stand up to the oppressive policy of the ruling dictatorial regime to the best of our ability. Strengthening the voices of protest and supporting political prisoners, protesting against executions are necessary steps to prevent the continuation of violence and injustice and revenge on the lives of justice-seeking forces.
The Left Party of Iran once again announces that it calls for cooperation and joint activity of all left-wing, republican, democratic political forces and civil society organizations in order to increase pressure on the regime to stop repression, imprisonment and executions and to release political prisoners. We know that this demand today is faced with the closed guards of the left-wing, republican and pro-democracy political movements. We demand that the existing groupings, each at least within the same scope of their activity, be active in line with others, with full capacity. Even if a movement or party is unable to participate in joint action with others for any reason or specific considerations, we sincerely ask them to at least participate with their unanimity in the general wave of protest against these inhumane behaviors of the regime and strengthen it by joining it.
Our party, alongside you, is making every effort to make the voices of the opposition against the ruling tyranny louder, to stop the Islamic Republic's machine of repression and to ward off its evil.
With respect and in the hope of connecting the cries of righteousness with each other!
Political-Executive Board of the Left Party of Iran
