4th Feb 2020 - In a historic turn of events, a court in Antwerp, Belgium, sentenced Iran’s incarcerated diplomat-terrorist Assadollah Assadi to 20 years in prison on terrorism charges. This is the first time a diplomat on duty receives such a sentence. The court also sentenced Assadi’s co-conspirators, Nasimeh Naami, Mehrdad Arefani and Amir Saadouni to 18, 17, and 15 years in prison respectively. The four convicts had attempted to bomb the annual “Free Iran” gathering in 2018.

Despite numerous attempts to claim his diplomatic immunity, Assadi's diplomatic immunity was waived by the judge who ruled that at the time that Assadi was arrested, he was not in Austria where he was based as a diplomat and so it could not be applied in this case.

8th Jan 2021 - The regime's supreme leader, Khamenei, announced in a tweet that he will be banning all imports of coronavirus vaccines from the UK, US and France, to Iran. Soon after posting this tweet, Twitter removed it. The baseless allegations made by Khamenei include, the vaccine being 'unreliable' and suggesting that these countries intend to infect the Iranian people with contaminated vaccines. The reality is that Khamenei has been giving mixed messages regarding the coronavirus vaccines from the start.

12 Dec 2020 - In a historical turn of events, a group of United Nations experts from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, have written a well-documented letter to Iranian officials calling for an independent investigation into the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran. The letter was dated and sent on 2nd September 2020 but it went public earlier this week following a 60-day waiting period while Iran was given an opportunity to respond.

No indication of response has been made as of yet. This communication specifically noted that the Iranian regime had refused to cooperate with a number of inquiries into the massacre of political prisoners which took place between July and September of 1988.

3 Dec 2020 - In June 2018 the Iranian regime planned an attack on the Free Iran Rally in Paris. This annual grand gathering was organised by international Iranian human rights communities. It was attended by tens of thousands of Iranians and members of the world community gathered in support of the crowds including former Presidents, senators, lawyers, Congress members, intelligence agents and current and former MPs from both Houses of Parliament in the UK.
