VIENNA (EJP)---The alliance ‘STOP THE BOMB’ is organizing a rally under the motto "Stop Ahmadinejad – No support for the Iranian regime" in Vienna next Wednesday.
The rally, which will take place in front of the opera building, is directed against the address by Iran's President on the same day before the UN General Assembly.
Rallies are also scheduled in New York and Brussels.
In Vienna, one of the seats of the United Nations, STOP THE BOMB wants to use this occasion to protest “against the politics of appeasement towards the Iranian regime as well as the economic support of the dictatorship of the Ayatollahs and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.”
"Austria is currently a member of the Security Council of the United Nations. The least what the Austrian government can do is to prohibit businesses of Austrian enterprises which are endorsing the Iranian regime and it has to push for including the Revolutionary Guards in the list of terrorist organizations of the European Union.,” said Simone Dinah Hartmann, a spokesperson for STOP THE BOMB.
The rally is supported by various groups including the Democratic party of Kurdistan Iran, the Greens "andersrum" Vienna, the Liberal Forum and the Jewish community.
STOP THE BOMB urged “harsh, extensive, and consequent sanctions to put pressure on the regime in Teheran.”
“The nuclear armament of this regime, which poses an existential threat to Israel and which also threatens the West and the Iranian people, has to be averted,” it said.
