Hanif Yazdi, who works at the #zohrankmamdani New York City Mayor's Office, is the grandson of Ebrahim Yazdi: an Islamist and close associate of Ruhollah Khomeini who played a prominent role in the Islamic Revolution. Ebrahim Yazdi proposed the establishment of Quds Day in Iran and was involved in shaping the Islamic Republic's relations with Hamas.

Hanif collaborates with NIAC, an organization involved in advancing the interests of the Islamic Republic in the United States.

These individuals do not appear out of the blue; they have a vision and a mission, and they are here for a reason.

The Mayor's Office in New York City is increasingly becoming a headquarters that consistently connects state and mosque.

For a long time, I have witnessed people enduring the cruelties of the Islamic Republic’s regime. This is not merely a matter concerning individuals, but a complex web of injustice affecting millions. In my own experience, I had to witness someone within my own circle express support for this regime—an act that violated the human values ​​and principles that ought to bind us together.

Under this regime, people endure torture, oppression, and injustice—hardships they are forced to tolerate simply to survive. According to Amnesty International, thousands of people have been tortured or subjected to unjust treatment in recent years for standing up for their rights or merely attempting to raise their voices.

It is time for us to act—to bring about justice and to aid those who are suffering the most. We call upon international organizations and governments to exert greater pressure on those responsible, ensuring that fundamental human rights are respected in Iran. This requires targeted sanctions, diplomatic initiatives, and public campaigns that amplify the voices of the innocent victims of this oppression.

Join our fight for freedom. Sign this petition to increase the pressure and help secure justice for the oppressed.
