The Islamic Republic agents and apologists CASMII (Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran) strike again!
This time it is a poor attempt by Mr. Pourzal who has gone further than the expected attack on ex political prisoners of Iran, to focus his attack on the human rights activist and hero Nazanin Afshin-Jam.
Is it not interesting that a self pro-claimed “organizer for human rights” (!) has written an article attacking Nazanin, calling her a fraud?!
Let’s first just go over who Nazanin Afshin-Jam is and what she has been doing.
Coming from a persecuted family during the Islamic Revolution, threatened with execution, her family moved to Europe. In her teenage years she got her pilot license from the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, before going to university to study Double Major Degree in International Relations and Political Science.
Throughout her university life, Nazanin volunteered for humanitarian charities and organisations such as Red Cross. She found the opportunities to enter the Miss Canada and Miss World competitions as an excellent chance to find a much bigger platform to promote her ideas and voice. She won the Miss Canada title and became the 1st runner up to Miss World.
This amazing woman who is by all means a true symbol of inspiration and pride for not only Iranians but girls and women all over the world, has since spent her time helping victims from tragedies such as the tsunami in India and Sri Lanka, raised funds for earthquake victims in Bam (Iran), Ethiopia, and campaigned for women’s rights in Middle East, and other issues all over the world.
She has gained huge popularity among Iranians and all human rights organisations for her efforts to make known the case of another Nazanin, a teenage girl in Iran who was sentenced to death for killing her rapist in defense, and by attracting world wide news agencies to get her voice heard she literally saved her life from the inhuman Sharia courts of Islamic Republic. For her efforts, she received “Hero for Human Rights” award from Artists for Human Rights / Youth for Human Rights International at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Now, in an article called “With Defenders Like Nazanin, Who Needs Enemies?“, Rostam Poorzal, a board director of CASMII, friend of Abbas Edalat, has called her a fraud, for simply having a photo of herself with two other human rights and democracy activists Amir-Abbas Fakhravar, former political prisoner and a leader in Iranian student movement and former Shah’s son who no longer calls himself the crown prince.
I have nothing to say but that I told you so. Stop the war coalition and “activists” such as CASMII have done nothing to promote human rights situation of Iran, yet they claim to be “Human rights organizers” and they spend their time promoting the criminal and terrorist Islamic Republic and spreading false propaganda against true human rights and democracy activists in the diaspora. Shame on CASMII, and shame on all those who know about this fraud organisation and are still associated with them.
CASMII always refrain from criticising the Islamic Republic, they never condemn the human rights abuses in their beloved Islamic Republic, saying that is not within the scope of our group, yet somehow it is in their scope to try to discredit Nazanin Afshin-Jam.
It is CASMII and Pourzal who are the frauds not Nazanin Afshin-Jam, who used her position and popularity to save her name sake Nazanin Fathi from execution in the Islamic Republic.
Is this what the Islamic Republic’s lobbyist and apologist groups resort to when they run out of material? Attacking a prominent Iranian that has stood up against tyranny and helped save the lives of Iranian girls about to be executed by the inhumane Islamic Republic!? Is this all these fronts of the Islamic Republic, under the guises of “anti-war groups” and “forums for dialouge”, can muster! How pathetic! Shame on anyone who associates with the mullah’s lobby group CASMII!
These traitors and shills are on the Islamic colonizer’s payroll and should be brought to justice. CASMII, as a deceitful enterprise established by the IR lobbyist and the fifth column democrats, is unfrotunately very popular among the ‘useful idiots’ here in the U.S. I was surprised to hear that one of my American friends mentioned it to me as his “Favorite Site”. Yes, he is one of those ‘useful idiots’. I had to set him straight and send him the dossier on this treasonous entity.
