NCRI - The Friendship Committee of Iraqi Kurds with Iranian People welcomes terrorist designation of the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Qods Force calling for trial of the Iranian regime’s leaders and comprehensive UN Security Council oil and arms sanctions against the regime.

“The Revolutionary Guards Corps is a constant reminder of suppression, massacre and terror for Iranian Kurdish people. The conspiracies and murder machine of the IRGC and Qods Force are not just limited to Iranian Kurdistan, they have massacred the opposition in Iraqi Kurdistan as well, and they have killed or kidnapped hundreds of Kurds opposed to any cooperation with their local proxies.

“Names of those murdered and their murderers are kept in the hearts and minds of all the heroic Kurdish people and could be brought to any credible international tribunal. Ahmadinejad and his close ally Sohrevardi, both members of the IRGC, and the commander of the Qods Force in Iraq, Ghasem Soleimani, lead all those criminals who are directly involved in the killing of the Kurdish people.”

The Resolution by the Friendship Committee of Iraqi Kurds with Iranian People continues: “We welcome the decision by the US State and Treasury departments and demand call on the international community to try the leaders of Iranian regime for crimes committed against Iranian people in general and Kurdish people in particular. We call on the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution to impose comprehensive oil and arms sanctions against the Iranian regime. We warn all governments and politicians across the world that appeasement and dialogue with this regime will only give them more opportunity to terrorize and murder the people of the region and of the world.”
