Iranian Americans for Liberty (IAL) condemn the barbaric attack carried out by plainclothes agents of the Iranian Regime against the Afkari family for protesting the deteriorating health conditions of their imprisoned sons Vahid and Habib. The sons have been in Adelabad prison for over 280 days of solitary confinement. The shameless and barbaric attack on the family of slain Olympic wrestler Navid Afkari on Sunday proves, yet again, that the Islamic Republic of Iran regime is the enemy of the Iranian people and the standard torchbearer for human rights abuses.
Iranian Americans are standing in solidarity with the Afkari family in seeking justice and freedom for their sons and they call on the international community to stop rewarding the Iranian regime for the egregious treatment of its citizens. Until human rights reforms are made to be part of the negotiation process with the Iranian Regime, no new deal should be agreed upon. Otherwise, the Iranian people will continue to suffer with no end in sight.
