ALI SAFAVI: The Latest In Iran

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ali Savavi. Yes, hello, good morning, good morning. How are you,
my friend? Where are you still? Are you in Paris?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes? Indeed I am three Pym then Klavi and Chilly Day.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
The same here, same here, catch up on all things
the fight for freedom as far as Iran is concerned.
You sent me a poster Iran Silent seventeen political prisoners
await execution.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I figure it would be good for your listeners to
go on your website to identify with the victims that
you see there, as young as twenty two, as old
as sixty six. So basically you know Iranian youth, the
middle age, and one of the older folks you know

(00:49):
from all walks of life, one of them on the
top row of Bennie Amiri Young. He's a genius and
elite university students, is a showing champion. The one next
to him is a wrestling champion. And this regimius has

(01:11):
absolutely no regard for human life and just caror.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And that I wanted to clear that up. I apologize
for the confusion there. I just recently saw a story
in the New York Times, I think it was just
yesterday about what's going on in Iran, alluring transgender foreigners
for surgery and forcing operations on locals. Did you see
that story?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
No, I have not. I have not, but I wouldn't
be surprised.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Forcing operations on locals to to to what end? Why?
Why would the regime involve itself in this transgender for
lack of a better word, phenomenon.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
The obvious fact is that you know, when we said
mister anti human, that's not meant as a derogatory comment.
It is an anti human regime because gallows are very,
very busy every day, you know, to the June of
one person hind every three and a half hours, nineteen

(02:17):
hundred and twenty hinds since the new so called moderate
president position has taken off, the two hundred in the
month of September. That's more than six a day. And
of course you have all these dissidents, you know, a
lot of them arrested in the aftermath of the twenty

(02:38):
twenty two upthrizing, and there's seventeen of them or at
the risk of demandent execution two of two of the
actually they were nineteen of them, two were hid back
in July, on July twenty seven, and so this is
why there is now a major campaign that we have
waged to draw attention to their fight, because unfortunately, it

(03:04):
seems to me that the legacy media has by and
large ignored, well, what's happening in the street to be wrong.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
And I agree, I agree that, which is why I
got so involved months ago. Now at this point, because
you really have to dig to find exactly what's going
on in Iran unless a Rudy Giuliani ways in or

(03:34):
someone of that nature, or you have huge rallies with
huge turnouts in Brussels and in New York. How the
one that the UN went very well, I saw. I
saw that Miriam Rishavi, she's welcoming the prospect of a
ceasefire and an end to the war in Gaza. Do

(03:57):
you think that would bode well this fire in the
end of war in Gaza as far as her rise
to power.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Absolutely I agree with her statement, Not so much because
it would lead her to power, but I think it
would end one of the most longest running conflicts in
the Middle East that has claimed the power of the

(04:26):
ministrent lives from all sides, and of course the root
causes this problem has been the Regimi Tahran, which basically
has exploited the Palestine issue to driving song agenda in
the Middle East, exerted her gemony black Man in Western countries.

(04:51):
And so in this tense let us all keep our
fingers crossed that there will be permanent peace in that
house the world because what it does, one it denies
the regime. Another means to froment chaos and unrest in
the region. But more importantly, it will put the focus

(05:14):
on the regimes conduct at home. Now that it seems
the Europeans have finally given up appeasing the Malas and
they have triggered the suspended view and resolutions. Given that
the regimes major nuclear sites were bombed and at least
partially damaged. Now let's focus on the flight of the

(05:37):
Viney people who are suffering every day under this regime.
And of course the Mallets have responded with absolute brutality,
hanging people will sixty ninety one and have been hanged
since position onto Copathy four. And so the regime is
basically the world needing for capitalist cutioner of all citizens

(06:02):
and of course women and juvenile.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Those figures are just astounding. And again we'ren with Ali Savavi,
we're talking about seven Iran in general, but seventeen political
prisoners right now awaiting execution. Silence in action is complicity.
You know who? I view Ali as being oddly silent,

(06:25):
and maybe you'll say, oh, no, quite the contrary, I vinny,
But is baby Shah himself he's almost he's almost in hiding.
Is that accurate?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well, that's another statement.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
What happens with him is that whenever there is some
undressed in Iran and he says it as well, maybe
there might be something in it for him. He jumps
into their phrase. He's moving like with the direction of
the win. But of course when there's nothing happening on
the street, is low to be found because he doesn't

(07:02):
have anybody in this should be around. How many of
his supporters have been detained? How many of his supporters
have engaged in resistance against this regime. I don't believe
even one of his supporters is behaving, has had their
norse bloody in the fight against the Monolos season opportunists,

(07:23):
and basically wants to ride the wake of popular unrest
of power, which is not going to happen. You have
to be there and you have to be willing to,
as they say, to invest the treasure and blood to
get this thing done and fight it out with the models.
It's just not going to happen from you know, a

(07:45):
plush home in Potomac in Maryland. It's not gonna happen
like that. So and that is why you see that
the main focus of the monol bey around is singularly
directed towards the NCRII, the NK and so many of

(08:05):
the supported So many of their activists have been arrested.
And this is by the way, not just related to
the activists, even the family members are perrassed. A few
weeks ago, a major cemetery in Terran southeast around where

(08:26):
thousands of armrked grades very the thousands who were executed
in the early nineteen eighties, was made into parking lot.
They paid them with asphalt to hide the documents and
evidence of their crime. So, to be honest with you,

(08:47):
I'm very very happy that you give some air come
to this issue because unfortunately it is something that, as
that poster said, the massacre that is happening to re
live all itself, and people don't hear about this, people
don't read about this, and people don't see anything about this.

(09:13):
You know, the major networksince the Forgotten.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
But I think it's you know, for a guy who
does a talk radio show every day, and I research
my show every day to the best of my ability,
the fact that I'm finding out right now while speaking
with you, that Westminster World to Day against the Death
Penalty conference Stop executions in Iran. You know, these seventeen

(09:40):
political prosers. This is taking place thirteen pm London time.
It's the first I'm hearing of it, and I deal
with all of the major publications in our country. Uh,
if not globally. Is really disheartening indeed.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Indeed, and I'm glad you mentioned that because someone We're
going to broadcast this lie for anybody who was interested
to watch and to hear. Secondly, there were seventeen distinguished
Americans including Speaking Lingingriage and Ambassado Blackwell and the plus

(10:17):
several others you know, General j Jones, General Chuck Wall
General if it did, Cuna in General, James Colway for
Memorne command Down, a plus whole host of others who
basically endorsed a statement in support of these seventeen political prisoners,
calling on the international community to hold their univision accountable

(10:41):
and calling on the US government, the Europeans and the
United Nations to seek out because you know, when when
good men remained silent, the evil happened.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
And so that's the best way to put it.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
I'm glad that you mentioned is I'm glad that you
mentioned that the concert, we're gonna have the former Speaker
of the House of Commons, every veteran court. It was
a hostage Columbian hostage held by the terrorist Park group
for many years. We're gonna have to send former French
Party minister. They're not Kusher speaking, and of course this

(11:16):
is weged Be will address the conference live from her
base in Paris. So when we're doing what we can
to shoe.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
And as you and I always say, you and I
are always talking about to keeping the momentum going, I mean,
at this point exactly, at this point, it's it's urgent
that we just keep the momentum going and we don't
let silence overtake it. Like it says right here, silence
is complicity. Ali Savavi live from Paris. Let's stay in touch,

(11:49):
let's stay on top of this. We are getting there,
I'd like to think we're getting there. The Gaza development
is overdue and stay safe, and we'll will be back
in touch
