Release of Terrorist Diplomat Sparks Outrage and Calls for Justice

Belgium (Brussels Morning Newspaper) The government of Oman made a significant announcement on Friday, revealing that a prisoner exchange between Belgium and Iran was currently underway. However, this exchange has ignited a wave of condemnation from the Iranian Resistance following the release of the terrorist diplomat, Asadullah Asadi. His return to Iran, under the oppressive rule of the religious dictatorship, has raised serious concerns about human rights and the adherence to legal judgments.

The release of Asadullah Asadi, despite a clear directive from the Constitutional Court requiring the Belgian government to inform the victims before transferring the convicts, is a blatant violation of the court’s order. This decision has shocked and disappointed those seeking justice, as it denies the victims an opportunity to address the court once again.

Asadi, who orchestrated and commanded one of the largest criminal acts in Europe since the Second World War, is now free despite the court’s ruling. This act of disregarding the court’s order sets a dangerous precedent, effectively granting ransom to terrorism and hostage-taking. Such actions not only encourage the religious fascism ruling Iran to persist in their crimes of repression and regional and international terrorism but also undermines efforts to combat these threats. Shockingly, in the span from May 1 to May 25 alone, 127 people have already been executed in Iran, highlighting the ongoing human rights violations in the country.

In response to this alarming development, the Iranian resistance vows to continue seeking justice in Belgium and on the international stage to the best of their abilities. The release of Asadullah Asadi has further intensified their resolve to pursue accountability for the crimes committed and to protect human rights.

This decision by the Belgian government must not go unchallenged. It is crucial that the international community takes a stand against such flagrant violations of human rights and supports efforts to hold accountable those responsible for acts of terrorism and the oppression of individuals.

As the Iranian resistance persists in its pursuit of justice, the world must not turn a blind eye to the release of a terrorist diplomat and the potential consequences it may have on global security and human rights.
