Expelling the Islamic Regime in Iran from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission
VICTORY! ⚡️
By a vote of 29 to 8, with 16 abstentions, the Islamic Republic of Iran was just expelled from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission. First time in United Nations history that any member state was removed from this body. Bravo to all who helped to make this happen! 🙏 pic.twitter.com/LDMBKTPWMO— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) December 14, 2022
امروز قرار است شما را از کمیسیون حقوق زنان سازمان ملل اخراج کنیم. این افتضاح بود که از اول انتخاب شدی. سپس جهان آزاد نیاز به یافتن ستون فقرات برای کمک به ایرانیان برای پایان دادن به رژیم شما دارد که کودکان را می کشد و زنان را شکنجه می کند. pic.twitter.com/iOYO2L6EcL

.@khamenei_ir Today we are going to expel you from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission. That you were ever elected to it in the first place was an abomination. Then the free world needs to find the backbone to help Iranians put an end to your child-killing, woman-torturing regime. pic.twitter.com/8NyZNG1m7R

“By expelling the Islamic regime from UN Women, the world sent a message. They joined the courageous people in Iran who cry out that the Ayatollah and his murderous mullahs are shameless—‘Bi-Sharaf!’—without honor, dignity, conscience, or morals.” My interview with @LidarGL. pic.twitter.com/7Lz37QjKmi

Today’s victory would not have been possible without the leadership of 🇨🇦 human rights activist Nazanin Afshin-Jam. Months ago she asked me about ousting the regime; I said the odds were nearly impossible. But her vision, drive and can-do spirit proved one should never give up.👏 https://t.co/CzMP3xRUYV

🇨🇦 @BobRae48 in UN debate on Iran: “Is there really nothing a state can do against its own citizens that has zero consequences for its membership in a Commission on the Status of Women?” Powerful rejoinder from a singular UN envoy who can debate off the cuff and from the heart. pic.twitter.com/bzvfac5CU8

Make no mistake: this is just the beginning. We in the free world need to sanction the killers, expel their ambassadors, designate the IRGC as a terrorist entity, and do everything we can to help Iranians put an end to this child-killing, women-torturing regime. #MahsaAmini https://t.co/ZFjnuaoP9c pic.twitter.com/opryAgK3uL

BREAKING: Russia’s procedural bid to stall the vote on expelling Iran from the U.N. Women Rights Commission has just been defeated 26 to 11. This is a good sign for the final vote to come soon!

Two days away from the vote to remove Iran’s regime from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission. Ousting a member from this body has never been attempted before in the history of the United Nations. But momentum is on our side. We are going to expel the Ayatollah. pic.twitter.com/Uw8rnSwTEH

🇬🇧 Britain confirms it will vote “the right way” on Wednesday to expel the Islamic Republic of Iran from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission, said @FCDOGovUK Minister Lord Goldsmith just now.

Good News: 🇫🇷 France has announced it will vote in favor of the resolution to expel the Islamic Regime in Iran from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission. We exposed this obscene election last year when all were silent. Wednesday will be the day of justice—to undo this abomination. pic.twitter.com/BsJYJrC4Pu

Any democracy or organization that claims to champion human rights yet which fails to speak out now to support the vote on Wednesday to expel this despicable regime from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission will one day be made to answer for their silence. https://t.co/6ngvh28kwM

History will record that three days before the crucial U.N. vote on a U.S. bid to expel Iran’s misogynistic regime from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission, the giant groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are still silent. Why, @AgnesCallamard @TiranaHassan?

Politico reports that many states are “wary” of voting on Wednesday to expel Iran’s Islamic regime from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission. “Some U.N. delegations, including European ones, wish there had been more consultation.” Here’s how you can help: /1https://t.co/VYEtLB0Luj

In April, we kicked Vladimir Putin off the U.N. Human Rights Council. Now we’re about to kick his friend Ayatollah Khamenei off the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission — next Wednesday, December 14. Then we need to remove this woman-torturing and child-killing regime from the world. pic.twitter.com/oRjT286H2t

Protests in Iran
BREAKING: The Islamic Republic summarily executed the second protester, Majidreza Rahnavard in Mashhad. He was charged with “waging war against God.” We urged world leaders to act. What did they do? The Ayatollah is testing us. It’s time to recall our ambassadors & expel theirs. https://t.co/Feu156mLgf

The Iran regime’s summary execution of #MohsenShekari without due process must be met with a clear, direct & forceful response by the free world—or else the lives of thousands of other detained protesters will be in peril. Expel the regime’s diplomats now. https://t.co/Dya3cZz8sb

👏🇪🇺 European Parliament VP @pinapic: “Mohsen Shekar, one of the boys arrested in the Iran protests, was hanged this morning. It is the first insane death sentence carried out on a protester in Iran. You will find us on the side of freedom, on the side of the protesters. Always.” https://t.co/oAcHp5Tvgq

History will record that the New York Times collaborated with and propagated the misinformation campaign of the Islamic Regime in Iran — the lie that they ended discrimination against women — days ahead of the critical vote to expel them from the U.N. Women’s Rights Commission. https://t.co/EkYyJpTyaX

In this of all moments, @amnesty, how can you compare the plight of women in #Iran—now being beaten, blinded, arrested, imprisoned, tortured, raped and killed by their government for demanding their rights—with that of women in the United States? It is morally obscene. #بیشرف https://t.co/pnHA5YOYDT

Year in review and looking ahead
To reform the UN, in 2022 we spearheaded successful campaigns to remove the regimes of Vladimir Putin, Nicolás Maduro & Ayatollah Khamenei from top UN human rights bodies.
In 2023, we will work to expel the regimes ruling China, Cuba & Pakistan from the UN Human Rights Council.

Taliban bans in Afghanistan
Today the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan banned female students from attending universities. They already ban girls from middle and high school, restrict women from most jobs, and order them to cover head-to-toe in public. We call on the @UN_HRC to hold an urgent session. Now.
