\nThe Washington Times – November 29, 2016<\/strong> – Now free in the West, recently escaped political dissidents say Iran\u2019s regime has grown more oppressive since its nuclear deal with the U.S. and other world powers that had hoped the agreement would moderate the Islamic-ruled nation.
\nThe protesters also say the billions of dollars in cash the U.S. shipped to Iran, plus the West\u2019s release of frozen Iranian bank assets, already have been diverted to Iran\u2019s expansionist armies in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere.
\n\u201cEvery deal, every negotiation with the regime, it means additional gallows in Iran,\u201d says Shabnam Madadzadeh, 29, who gained fame as a student organizer at Tehran\u2019s Tarbiat Moalem University. She spent five harsh years in confinement, including in Iran\u2019s notorious Evin prison, but she did not break.
\nJust a few weeks ago, Ms. Madadzadeh escaped her home country via a clandestine network operated by the People\u2019s Mujahedeen of Iran, or MEK. She surfaced in Paris and appeared Saturday at a conference with other Iranians opposed to the hard-line mullahs who run the country.
\n\u201cIranian people do not want negotiations with this regime, and they hate appeasement policy with this regime,\u201d Ms. Madadzadeh told The Washington Times. \u201cThey want the world, European governments and United Nations <\/a> and the U.S. to stay firmly against the regime\u2019s policy of violence against human rights \u2014 the regime\u2019s crimes in Iran and Syria and exporting terrorism in the world. Iranian people want a change in regime by themselves and resistance.\u201d
\nA 2010 State Department report on human rights violations in Iran singled out the vindictive prosecutor who imprisons dissidents. One of his victims: Ms. Madadzadeh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
