Australian Senator Urges UN to Release Elite Students Arrested in Iran

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) informs that the Australian Senator Eric Abetz wrote a letter to Javaid Rehman, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, urging him to increase pressure on the Iranian regime to release two elite students, Ali Younesi and Amir Hossain Moradi, as well as other young political prisoners.

National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), is a broad coalition of organizations, groups and democratic personalities. It was founded in 1981 in Tehran by the initiative of Masoud Rajavi, leader of the Iranian resistance.

A Non-Nuclear Iran

The regime's nuclear weapons program remained a secret until 2002 when the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held a press conference in which revealed the existence of uranium enrichment facilities in Natanz and a heavy water plant in Arak.

These revelations, based on information provided by the community networks of the People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran or the Mujahedin-e Khalq, encouraged the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct an investigation that eventually took the nuclear dossier of the Iranian regime to the Security Council of the United Nations for punitive sanctions.
