00:00:00.000right so here she's basically blaming the violence she's she's blaming the violence by the islamic
00:00:06.080regime on the iranian people so she's basically saying the reason that the islamic regime is
00:00:10.720violent um is because the iranian people deserve it so these these are how these islamic regime
00:00:17.680apologists have been dominating um the the mainstream media for a very very long time and
00:00:25.120you know her hands her hands are covered in blood just like everyone else
00:00:36.000did you receive any endorsement from the coalition today in this virtual meeting i've never asked
00:00:41.760from any foreign governments any personal endorsement because this is not about me this
00:00:47.200is about 93 million iranians who deserve to have self-determination and decide through free elections
00:00:54.320who should lead or work for them in any future government. My role is to make those conditions
00:01:00.960available so we can have a democratic process post-regime collapse and allow the Iranian people
00:01:06.560to decide who should govern them and in what form or shape the future system should be.
00:01:12.320This is a democratic process that is transparent and open and in view of the diversity of opinions
00:01:18.000that we have within our Iranian political spectrum, I can tell you one thing that is
00:01:23.280the unifying factor. It's Iran's territorial integrity, its separation of religion from
00:01:30.000government, its equality of all citizens under the law and individual liberties, and a democratic
00:01:36.400process that will determine the future system of the country. I'm not here as a candidate,
00:01:41.920I'm here as a bridge to that destination. And I think a lot of my competitors have faith in me,
00:01:47.120in playing for them this role, and therefore my conversations with multiple governments
00:01:53.140in the outside world, but particularly in this case, the Australian government and parliament
00:01:58.000is exactly to be able to provide them with all the necessary understanding of how we
00:02:03.360would like to achieve that and how Iranians can work together with their Australian counterparts
00:02:10.160to see how quickly we can bring that to fruition.
00:02:14.160There we go. Now, there's also an op-ed that I want to share with you guys. So this was written by Riza Arab and Saeed Qasiminejad. So it's called Australia's engagement with Prince Riza Pahlavi is strategic, not symbolic.
00:02:30.880His meeting with the coalition's shadow cabinet signals recognition of Iranian-Australian voices, the plight of the Iranian people, the security threats posed by the Islamic Republic, and the opportunities a free Iran could offer Australia.
00:02:47.180So let's look at this. So why Australia should engage with Crown Prince Riza Pahlavi on Iran?
00:02:56.560Why his video meeting with the coalition's shadow cabinet signals strategic thinking in the Australian Parliament?
00:03:02.880An op-ed published in The Australian by Riza Arab and Saeed Qasmin Ashut.
00:03:09.420So let me just read this first. A cross-party endeavor.
00:03:12.700The meeting signals recognition of Iranian-Australian voices, the plight of the Iranian people,
00:03:19.360the opportunities a free Iran could offer Australia, and the national security threats
00:09:04.880campaign of killing torture and rape and crackdown on women's rights protest
00:09:09.900finally amnesty did at least one relatively useful thing unmasking iran's murderous enforcers
00:09:18.120amnesty names 87 officials who oversaw a brutal campaign of killing torture and rape in crackdown
00:09:24.040on women's rights protest amnesty international has named 87 iranian officials who oversaw a
00:09:30.780brutal campaign of killings torture and sexual violence during the 2022 women life freedom
00:09:36.520protest. Guys, remember, I've been telling you that sexual violence, that's like a thing in
00:09:43.360Islam. Islamic regime has been using sexual violence against Iranians for, you know, pretty
00:09:50.580much since they've come into power since 1979. And sexual violence is par for the course when
00:09:57.460it comes to Islam, because it's literally in the Quran. And the Quran says that Muslim men are
00:10:02.440allowed to, you know, take women as concubines and sex slaves and spoils of war. So yeah, sexual
00:10:10.720violence is a thing. And it's been going on for a very, very long time. In a landmark 1000 page
00:10:15.420report, the human rights organization has called for the officials to be investigated for crimes
00:10:19.880against humanity, drawing on testimonies from 270 witnesses and survivors who described the abuses
00:10:26.140they endured during the crackdown. Amnesty also conducted an extensive review of audio-visual
00:10:32.100evidence, analyzing more than 2,000 videos recorded between September 16 and December 31 of 2022 in
00:10:39.380connection with the uprising. The investigation found that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
00:10:44.460and the police command of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Farajah, led deadly operations to
00:10:50.740disperse protesters. Official statements and leaked documents revealed instructions for a
00:10:56.020firm and severe response to the protests one memo instructed security forces to respond
00:11:02.260mercilessly and go as far as causing death security forces repeatedly opened fire on crowds
00:11:08.500using lethal military-grade assault rifles handguns and shotguns loaded with metal pellets
00:11:14.980they also pursued fleeing protesters and bystanders closing in on unarmed people who
00:11:20.820posed no threat before shooting them at close range. One man named Mahshid, who protested
00:11:29.120in Mahabad, told Amnesty, I had never seen such scenes before. The situation was very
00:11:36.280frightening and felt like a war zone. The security forces just kept shooting. So these
00:11:42.240are some of the terrorists. Although, you know, some of them are dead, which is good.
00:11:48.000And then here you can see security forces allegedly used batons, electric shock devices,
00:11:53.000kinetic impact projectiles, and tear gas to harm people.
00:11:56.920And so here is a scene of the violent crackdown.
00:12:01.260Another man named Iman who protested in Sanandaj said the agents would shoot anyone in their sight,
00:12:07.620not caring if they were women, children, passerby, or protesters.
00:12:12.260Many people were injured by metal pellets striking their legs, bodies, chests, and faces.
00:12:16.840Guys, remember, this is not from January 8 and 9 of this year. This is from between September and December of 2022. So this report is from four years ago. Okay. So if this sounds familiar, that's because this is what's been going on inside of occupied Iran for the last 47 years.
00:12:41.000for the last 47 years so january 8 and 9 um the only thing that's new about january 8 and 9 is
00:12:49.600the severity and the scale of the massacres because in the last 47 years um the islamic
00:12:54.700regime has engaged in violent crackdown and they've murdered iranians um but never never
00:13:01.360were you know 100 000 iranians mass slaughtered in two days alone security forces and this is
00:13:07.620again 2022 security forces allegedly used batons electric shock devices kinetic impact projectiles
00:13:14.700and tear gas to harm people protesters were subjected to physical violence including kicking
00:13:20.480punching dragging being thrown to the ground being stamped on and having their hair pulled
00:13:25.740a large number of protesters and bystanders died from their injuries in some cases after security
00:13:32.380forces denied them access to medical treatment. Those who survived were left with severe physical
00:13:39.660trauma. This included permanent vision loss, wounds to the head, face, neck, and torso,
00:13:48.320fractures to the ribs, skull, facial bones, teeth, and limbs. Victims also experienced traumatic brain
00:13:55.740and spinal cord injuries, damage to internal organs, nerve and vascular injuries, and internal
00:14:01.620bleeding. Many suffered lasting health complications such as chronic pain, mobility or speech
00:14:08.340impairments, recurring infections and debilitating headaches. In some cases, doctors were unable to
00:14:15.120remove fragments of metal pellets embedded in victims' bodies, leaving them in pain and at risk
00:14:20.680of infection, brain damage or organ failure. Amnesty also documented torture of people held
00:14:27.580in state custody, allegedly carried out to intimidate, punish, and humiliate detainees,
00:14:33.640as well as to extract forced confessions. So here you can see a plainclothed officer is seen
00:14:40.680shooting at a target off screen during the 2022 protests in Iran. And here is a man who has been
00:14:48.080shot and he's lying on the ground in a pool of blood. And these are, you know, 23 protesters and
00:14:56.560bystanders who died who were murdered by the islamic regime guys this is 16 year old nikah
00:15:02.400shakarami um the way that she died is absolutely horrific so she was 16 years old and um the
00:15:10.320islamic regime so three of the um you know best siege or whatever they captured her and uh they
00:15:17.440they put her into the back of an ice cream truck and they locked the door it was like a you know
00:15:23.440like an ice cream truck, like a fridge or something like that. And they locked the doors from from the
00:15:28.400inside so that no one could come in or out. And the three of them, they, they basically raped her
00:15:35.360to death, they raped her and beat her until she was dead. And then in order to make it seem as if,
00:15:41.440you know, they hadn't murdered her, they threw her, her body off of a building onto the ground.
00:15:49.120and then they pretended as if you know she had just committed suicide by jumping off of a building
00:15:54.400um but it you know evidence later came out because you know eyewitness evidence and testimony um that
00:16:01.440no she had been put into the back of like a like an ice cream truck and basically raped
00:16:07.280to death and she was only 16 years old she was only 16 years old that's nico
00:16:12.640methods of torture included beatings with implements such as batons and chains as well
00:16:21.100as slapping kicking punching flogging hair pulling and electric shocks other forms included
00:16:27.580prolonged placement in solitary confinement exposure to extreme temperatures forced
00:16:32.800administration of chemicals and painful stress positions detainees also reported being denied
00:16:39.220medical care and food and water, with at least one person being told to eat their own feces.
00:16:46.340Others recounted being submerged underwater, having needles inserted into sensitive areas,
00:16:52.360having their nails forcibly removed, being sprayed with pepper spray, subjected to mox executions,
00:16:58.940and suspended by their necks or wrists. Psychological torture reportedly included
00:17:04.940threats of more torture killing or life imprisonment guys so you know these things that these
00:17:10.820things that is has been going on inside of occupied iran for the last 47 years okay none of this ever
00:17:18.980happened during the shah's time remember remember these like the the same people that are torturing
00:17:26.600Iranians in this way, they're the same ones who claim that the Shah was a dictator and the Shah
00:17:35.160was brutal and the Shah engaged in violence. All of it is false. All of it is false. Literally,
00:17:41.440none of this ever happened. None of this ever happened during the Shah's time. And I've shared
00:17:47.280documentaries from the 1970s where the terrorists are literally saying that they're being treated
00:17:56.960very well and there's no violence or anything like that. Everything that they accuse the Shah
00:18:03.800of doing, they're the ones who are actually doing it. And so they've been engaging in this historic
00:18:08.640revisionism and, you know, the mainstream media and the left just run with it. They run with it.
00:18:15.280But as you can see, it's actually the Muslims and the communists who engage in this sort of torture against the Iranian people.
00:18:24.080This never happened during the Shah's time.
00:18:27.140Prisoners were also subjected to threats to arrest, kill, harm, rape, or forcibly disappear relatives.
00:18:34.480The investigation documented the cases of 16 people who were raped while detained in connection with the uprising.
00:18:40.520They included six women, seven men, a 14-year-old girl, and two teenage boys aged 16 and 17.
00:18:50.400Four of the women and two of the men were subjected to forced sexual penetration by multiple male officials.
00:18:58.320Women and girls were penetrated vaginally, anally, and orally, while men and boys were subjected to anal penetration.
00:19:05.100wooden and metal batons glass bottles hose pipes fingers and the sexual organs of security agents
00:19:12.740were used to carry out the sexual abuse the organization also documented 29 other people
00:19:18.900who were subjected to forms of sexual violence other than rape while arbitrarily detained
00:19:24.360this included security forces putting their hands under female victims clothing and into their
00:19:29.880underwear and grabbing or groping them. Women and girls were also beaten on their breasts,
00:19:35.100genitals, or buttocks, stripped in front of male detainees, held naked for hours or days,
00:19:40.360including in freezing conditions. Some were threatened with rape, including threats against
00:19:45.460their female relatives. Security forces used gendered insults and vulgar language against
00:19:51.500detained women, stating they deserve to be punished with rape for protesting compulsory
00:19:56.360veiling you see this they just so basically the islamic regime says that women who protest
00:20:03.560um the hijab should be punished with rape this is this is the muslim mentality for you
00:20:10.120right this is this is um this is islamic mentality so basically they say that if a woman doesn't want
00:20:17.560to cover her hair uh that means she's a whore and she should be raped welcome to durka logic
00:20:23.720right? Welcome to Durka Logic. Those who are part of the Islamic regime, right? We talk about
00:20:30.280their propagandists, we talk about their lobbyists, we talk about those who are outside of occupied
00:20:36.660Iran. And their job is to basically apologize for the Islamic regime, like they're regime
00:20:44.660apologists. And they're basically there to keep the Islamic regime alive, like they're paid by
00:20:53.280the Islamic regime. So not only are there Durkhas inside of
00:20:56.760occupied Iran, but of course, outside, and they have a very,
00:21:00.620very vast, wide, large and sophisticated network. And for
00:21:07.080the longest time, they pretty much had the microphone. So
00:21:12.600everything that they said, you know, non Iranians believed
00:21:17.840them, because they had all the resources, they had all the
00:21:21.300funding it's only now because of you know social media and the internet and you know youtube and
00:21:27.300things like that that you know us regular normal iranians are able to speak out and to counter
00:21:34.660that narrative so here's an example for example of of one of these islamic regime lobbyists right
00:21:43.060So her name is Azadeh Muawwini. So her name is Azadeh Muawwini. She's a journalist and a member of the International Crisis Group. Demonstrations from, you know, approximately like eight years ago. So here she's speaking about the uprisings that happened in 2018. Okay. And she says, so basically this is her apologizing for the Islamic regime.
00:22:08.760So what do you say? And guys, this is on BBC. This is on BBC. BBC is, of course, a far leftist jihadi network. We call it Ayatollah BBC. So look at this. This is this is her. So this has been going on for a very, very, very long time.
00:22:27.000And here you can see even eight years ago, this Islamic regime prostitute is basically blaming the violence and the murder and the rape and the torture and the sexual violence on the Iranian people.
00:22:45.920I think that you've had Rouhani, you've had members of parliament, you've had, you know, significant figures within the government acknowledge the grievances and acknowledge the importance of having space for them to articulate them, but lawfully, not through vandalism, not through hooliganism.
00:23:01.280And that's why I think you have, you know, speaking to people in Tehran, there's a lot of ambivalence about what's unfolding because it's been very violent from the beginning.
00:23:08.000Um, so I think that there will certainly be a recognition of the grievance, but I think
00:23:12.220that it will also be quickly criminalized because, uh, it's destructive inevitably.
00:23:33.660So these are how these Islamic regime apologists have been dominating the mainstream media for a very, very long time.
00:23:43.500And, you know, her hands, her hands are covered in blood, just like everyone else.
00:23:48.440Because, again, in a totalitarian authoritarian dictatorship, you know, different factions play different roles.
00:23:56.420And so, for example, if I pull up the Boom Boom Jihad bingo sheet again.
00:24:00.060So looking at our Boom Boom Jihad bingo sheet, you can see that state media is one element of an authoritarian dictatorship.
00:24:10.460And that state media and their propagandists are not limited to only within occupied Iran.
00:24:17.660The propagandists that are outside of occupied Iran also play a very, very significant role because it is their job to try and convince the rest of the world that, you know, there's nothing to be seen.
00:24:36.220Everything is fine. This is just a bunch of violent criminals acting up and, you know, everything is OK inside of occupied Iran.
00:24:44.120So that's literally their job. And, you know, they were successful in doing that for a very long time. You know, the Islamic regime has been so successful, has been so incredibly successful in promoting their narrative that, first of all, Iranians hate the United States and Iranians hate the West, which is 100% false.
00:25:05.180Number two, promote the narrative that the violence inside of Iran is not as bad as people think it is.
00:25:12.320Number three, that, you know, if there is any violence, it's because the protesters are violent.
00:25:17.100And so, you know, this is they're like, oh, this is this is just like, you know, what happens in the United States when there's riots.
00:25:23.040Right. Like that's how they kind of do it. But it's literally not the case at all whatsoever.
00:25:28.740So, you know, watch this again. This is from eight years ago.
00:25:31.480I think that you've had Rouhani, you've had members of parliament, you've had significant figures within the government acknowledge the grievances and acknowledge the importance of having space for them to articulate them, but lawfully, not through vandalism, not through hooliganism.
00:25:46.940Right. So she's basically like, oh, well, if the Iranian people have grievances, they need to articulate them lawfully.
00:25:53.560How are we supposed to articulate our grievances in an Islamic dictatorship that literally murders people every day for the crime of waging war against Allah?
00:26:05.360right do you see how um the the propagandists of the islamic regime they use language that is
00:26:14.560familiar to the west you know they use language you know that that and you know concepts that
00:26:20.380exist in western society and they falsely impose it on occupied iran right so she is she is banking
00:26:31.020on the reporter, like the person that she's speaking with. She's banking on him and she's
00:26:38.180banking on the viewers, not knowing that Iran is an authoritarian dictatorship, where if you speak
00:26:45.620out, you get shot. Okay, if you speak out, you get shot. There is no lawful way to express your
00:26:53.500grievance. There isn't, because it's an authoritarian dictatorship. The Islamic regime
00:26:59.360can shoot you at any time for any reason and and they've been again raping torturing murdering
00:27:05.440right let me again let me once again show you this video okay so this is the kind of society
00:27:15.040i mean not society this is this is the this is the islamic hellhole that iranians have been
00:27:21.040dealing with for the last 47 years okay so here are islamic regime police officers they've detained
00:27:28.800a 13 year old boy they're beating him they're laughing and then they pull down his pants and
00:27:37.620they they you know slap his rear end as well and all the all the while they're filming him
