At the beginning of this meeting, Ms. Mansoureh Karami, wife of martyr Ali Mohammadi and chairwoman of the board of directors of the Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism, welcomed the audience and said, “The narratives of terror victims help create a world free of terrorism, and for this reason, it is our duty to convey the narratives of these victims to national and international audiences.” She continued, “The crimes committed against the people of Iran, including the crimes against the innocent children of Minab, the children of Lamerd, and thousands of Iranians who were killed innocently, make our duty in creating a world free of terrorism more difficult.” She concluded by saying, “I warn the supporters of global terrorism that a day will come when terrorism will also grip you.”

Continuing the meeting, Rahim Narimani, Director General of the Martyrs’ Foundation’s Witness and Sacrifice Organizations, said that the families of the martyrs of terror are the true heirs of these martyrs. He continued, we must work to defend the rights of the victims of terrorism in the national and international arenas, uphold the rights of the families of the martyrs of terror, and be the voice of the victims in the national and international arenas.

In another part of the meeting, Mohammad Mehdi Eslami, a researcher of contemporary history, said about the approach of the MKO TERRORISTS, “These terrorists have betrayed the country more than they have committed terrorist acts.” He continued, “In many countries of the world, treason is considered a major crime and is punishable by heavy punishment.”

Hossein Gharibi, former Iranian ambassador to Brazil, called on media outlets and activists to use new capacities to create appropriate content, use these new technologies to defend victims of terrorism, and inform audiences about the injustice suffered by the martyrs of terror, using art and new technologies.

In another part of the meeting, a video message from American political activist Joseph Ronka was broadcast to the meeting. Referring to the Minab school crime, Joseph Ronka said, “As an American, I remain deeply moved, horrified, and ashamed by the bombing of an elementary school in Minab on February 28 by my country, the United States of America, and Israel.” He went on to state that the United States has not ratified the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, but ultimately, whether the Convention is ratified or not, none of this can be an excuse for taking the lives of innocent children, children whose right to life is recognized in international human rights law.

In the continuation of the meeting, Ms. Zeinab Mohammadi Nasrabadi shared some of the pain and suffering caused by the martyrdom of her father, sister, and niece during the assassinations of the 1960s by the MKO TERRORISTS and the third imposed war by the United States against Iran.

At this meeting, content clips in defense of the victims of terrorism were broadcast, and at the end of the ceremony, the families of the victims of terrorism were honored.
