Iran - Daughter of political prisoners tells Italian Senate of human rights abuses

Iranian dissident Shaqayeq Azimi

NCRI - Iranian dissident Shaqayeq Azimi, 22 whose parents were arrested last month in Iran by the mullah's regime for supporting the main Iranian opposition Organization (PMOI Mujahedin-e khalq, MEK), testified before lawmakers at the Italian Senate about the appalling human rights situation in Iran during the tenure of the regime's President Hassan Rouhani. 
Both my parents are ex-political prisoners. My father is suffering from heart problems and has been persecuted both under the Shah and the mullahs’ dictatorship. My mother spent about 10 years in prison. She is suffering from MS caused by harsh tortures she endured while in prison from 1981 to 1986.
I also want to tell you about my dear 23-year-old cousin, Nastaran Azimi, who I grew up with. She was a computer major in Tehran University and an artist. 

Nastaran Azimi

She was slain in the deadly attack by Iraqi forces at the behest of Iranian regime on Camp Ashraf on April 8th, 2011. Such attacks which started in Camp Ashraf were extended to Camp Liberty. My sisters and brothers still have to face missile attacks. The latest attack was on October 29 when more than 80 missiles hit the camp resulting in 24 deaths and many more injured simply because the Iraqi government, the UN and the US did not live up to their responsibilities towards the security of the camp residents. 
Finally, while I thank you for your support, my plea to you is to urge your government to publically condemn human rights violations in Iran while Rouhani is in Rome.
