Such measures send a clear message that officials who serve a repressive and violent system cannot continue to enjoy diplomatic privilege while millions inside Iran suffer under brutality, executions, ethnic discrimination, and political persecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the decision by the European Parliament to ban Iranian officials from entering its premises due to grave human rights violations reflects a principled stance in defense of justice, dignity, and international law. This action acknowledges the undeniable reality that the Iranian regime has forfeited moral and political credibility through decades of repression against Ahwazis, Kurds, Baluchis, Persians, and other oppressed nations and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These bans are not merely preventative measures against individual Iranian officials; they symbolize something far greater. They demonstrate that the Iranian regime is increasingly isolated and rapidly losing its legitimacy within the international community. Diplomatic exclusion is the direct consequence of state-sponsored violence, impunity, and persistent defiance of international human rights norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ahwazi Democratic Popular Front calls on governments, international institutions, and human rights bodies to expand these sanctions, end political appeasement, and stand firmly with the oppressed non-Persian nations in Iran. Accountability, not engagement with criminals, is the only path toward justice, peace, and genuine stability in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Faisal Ahwazi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spokesperson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahwazi Democratic Popular Front<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahwazi Democratic Popular Front The Ahwazi Democratic Popular Front strongly welcomes and supports the growing international measures aimed at holding the Iranian regime accountable for its long record of crimes, repression, and systematic human rights violations.
