My dear compatriots, As the people of Iran courageously stand against the Islamic Republic—the occupier of Iran—and as this wounded, despised, and isolated regime continues its assaults on the lives and property of our people in a futile attempt to delay its inevitable fall, I consider it my duty to more clearly articulate the contours of justice in a future Iran for those who may be contemplating cooperation with the perpetrators of this regime. To that end, I requested that the Committee for Drafting Transitional Justice Program in Iran provide its advisory opinion on two important issues: first, the criminal liability of individuals who cooperate with the Islamic Republic’s repressive structures; and second, the confiscation of property belonging to protesters and their families. The Committee has now issued its first advisory opinion. Its message is clear: these acts are not simple or insignificant forms of cooperation; they constitute aiding and abetting crimes against humanity. No position, order, or excuse can eliminate individual criminal liability. Accordingly, anyone who knowingly and voluntarily cooperates with the regime’s repressive structures—whether inside or outside Iran—must understand that they will face criminal liability: whether such cooperation takes the form of reporting or informing; whether it takes the form of participation in checkpoints; whether it takes the form of using children or adolescents in the repression of protesters; and whether it takes the form of acquiring, transferring, buying, or selling property confiscated from protesters and their families in the course of repression. Yes, not only those who play a role in issuing such orders, enforcing them, or facilitating these confiscations will face liability, but also those who knowingly and voluntarily acquire or sell such property must be held accountable. That liability includes the use of their assets or property to compensate the original owners for the harm inflicted on them. Therefore, I warn all those considering cooperation with this regime’s machinery of repression: before taking any action that causes physical, financial, or social harm to the people of Iran, think of your future and that of your family. Think of the day when Iran will be free; the day when the truth will no longer be hidden; the day when names will be revealed; and the day when no perpetrator can escape accountability before the law. The Iranian nation will have a government that respects its people’s rights and will transform Iran into a free and prosperous country. Long live Iran Reza Pahlavi
