Petition to the European Parliament

The new Iranian Parliament was boycotted and is illegitimate, based on massacre, fraud and filled with corrupt terrorists and torturers



After the successful boycott of the Majless (national parliament) elections by Iranians, the Iranian regime has been changing the results constantly to appoint more and more names to the new parliament. In some cities such as Someyram, Verezghan and others the figures announced for the turn out is above %100 of the eligible population of voters.
There have been bloody crackdowns on the streets of some cities such as Fereydun Kenar and Eezeh where protesters against the election have been killed. Unfortunately the European Parliament and media have maintained silence on these crimes. There have been unrest in many provinces such as Fars, Khuzestan, Kurdestan, Khorasan and Caspian sea region in response to the sham elections and the fraudulent results announced concerning the turn out.

Many people were coerced into voting by threats with regards to their employment and future prospects in further education, job security, pensions and other government controlled resources. They were told their birth certificates need to have the stamp showing participation in the elections. As a result about %40 of the cast ballots are blank or bearing slogans against the regime.

Sitting members of parliament have pointed out to buying of votes, mass printing and use of fake birth certificates, multiple voting (photographed by journalists), elimination of names from results, involvement of unknown personnel, missing votes and boxes and introduction of fake ballots, breaking of election rules and unrealistic figures announced. The trend in the regime's approach to Iranians’ demand for democracy has been backward, purging half of the regime's own forces claiming to be reformists. Some of the current members of the parliament have been exposing the grand scale of the frauds taking place in the figures announced.

Two government bodies which disputed the results announced, National Registry Office and the Statistical Center of Iran have been served injunctions by the judiciary banning them from any further public announcements contradicting the Guardian Council communiques. The Interior ministry and its affiliated Electoral Executive Watchdog Committee have also disputed the results announced by the Guardian Council. As a result elements of the regime have pointed out its own illegitimacy.

Less than %35 were coerced nationally to vote according to some regime leaks despite mass propaganda and intimidation about the necessity of stamping birth certificates. Of these about %40 were void ballots. In Tehran and other large cities the turn out was less than %12, the figure achieved last year in local elections. We believe the real figures are much lower, around %15 nationally and about half of that in large cities with many void ballots. Even then the results bear no correlation to the exit poles showing mass electoral fraud.

The judiciary, Guardian Council and the state television and radio announcements have been fluctuating between %51 to over %60 and down again on the national turn out. After muzzling other state organizations' protestations with legal threats as mentioned above, these organs decided to keep silent on the results. However after silencing others, they keep modifying their previous results such as adding further elected members for Tehran and other cities despite initially demanding they go to a second round of voting.

The new batch of so called elected parliamentarians are mainly from security and armed forces responsible for terrorism, torture and serial murders of dissidents or from the even more powerful economic cartels ultimately in charge. They are known locally as representatives of the various mafia running the regime from their economic bases in institutions known as "Bonyads" that dominate the national economy with macro level corruption.

According to many elements of the regime the election was fraudulent on a massive scale and boycotted by Iranians. Furthermore people have been killed on the streets protesting this sham. With criminals, torturers and terrorists now in the parliament with their trail of blood and fraud, we demand you break your silence on the legitimacy of this so called parliament. This outrage is unprecedented in the modern world and your silence will not make it disappear in such an important and large country as Iran with a people ready to achieve secular democracy.

Iranian people will not acknowledge this Majless as legitimate and the opening day of the next Majless will be a national day of mourning by a nation which will take its democratic rights soon and will remember who kept silent during mass crimes and followed orders to safeguard transient European economic interests at the expense of mass repression in Iran.
