These day when the darkness of amoral political whoring is the norm in the West, there are still those who have held up the torch of humanity.

One of them is Professor Irwin Cotler, who was once Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.

A snippet of his services to humanity includes:

“He is considered an expert on international law and human rights law. As an international human rights lawyer, Cotler served as counsel to former prisoners of conscience Nelson Mandela in South Africa, Jacobo Timmerman in Latin America, Muchtar Pakpahan in Asia, as well as other well known political prisoners and dissidents. Cotler represented Natan Sharansky, who was imprisoned in the Soviet gulag for Jewish activism. After his release, Sharansky went on to become Israeli Deputy Prime Minister.”

And here is his latest attempt to solicit world attention to the horrendous wholesale violation of human rights under the rule of the unreformable, warmongering and expansionist Islamist fascists in Iran:

“Realizing Rights over Repression in Iran:

The Case for Canadian Magnitsky Sanctions

While representing political prisoners in the Soviet Union 45 years ago, I noted

that “vacation time in the West is prison time in the Soviet Union,” with the Soviet

Union arresting and imprisoning dissidents while governments and parliaments in

the West adjourned. This phenomenon found expression this summer in Iran, as

there was barely any international condemnation while the Iranian regime carried

out systematic arrests and sentenced leaders at all levels of civil society on trumped-up charges, reminiscent of the old Soviet tactic of “give us the people and

we will find the crime.” In particular, the regime escalated its assault on 10 fundamental civil society groups throughout the summer, including journalists, environmentalists, dual citizens, cultural leaders, religious minorities, women’s rights activists, labor rights activists, students, teachers, and lawyers.”

I invite those who care to see Iran and Iranians emancipated from the bloodletting tyranny of Islamist fascists to read Cotler’s appeal.

Airtight sanctions - which includes oil - a la against the despicable South Africa apartheid, works. U.S. lawmakers get to it.
