a pan african use magazine based in london. now welcome to the program. i'd like to begin with brian endless in chicago. this is nothing more than a sham trial. thank you for having me on the program. and unfortunately, i completely agree. paul recess of begin was kidnapped by the rwandan government over a year ago. last august. he was not kidnapped because of any criminal charges he was taken because he has been a critic of that government for over 20 years now. and they have harassed him over that time. you're p unparliamentary and said what fear trial process starts with the kidnapping. and following the kidnapping, he was tortured for 4 days. he was held in solitary confinement for over 250 days. in violation of the un nelson mandela rules for treatment of prisoners. and he has

had limited or no access to his lawyers or legal documents. there was no fair trial ever intended in this case. and as we clearly see from the proceedings and from the results, no fair trial happened. in kigali yolanda macola, this was just just as being served wasn't likely the trial was 21 and suspects were conducted fairly and transparently. and they presented to the court compelling and comprehensive part of the evidence. those presented to the ord consisted of the files that were handed over to the wrong prosecution from the belgian prosecution that searched for somebody to help. and brussels also prevented in testimony the poor kid who talked about what they had done together as well as the victim testimonies, the victims of the attacks in 201820194 western rondo front.

unless it was fat, it was transferring the evidence was presented in the way it should have been while you complaining let me take a point by point and thank you for bringing it up. and that is the classic answer of the rwandan government. the good news for us was it was transparent. this trial was very transparent. it was broadcast on you to every day. and we were able to watch it with pulse family and paul's legal team. and we saw the unfairness unfold before our there was no compelling testimony. in fact, there was no reasonable testimony in any way, shape or form. there was nothing present. it that showed that paul or any of the coaches were guilty. the spokesperson mentioned the so called belgian dossier. there was in fact dossier that came from vulture. it was an investigation that started at the request of the rwandan government. 2019. the belgian government

cooperated with them. they put together a long document. unfortunately for the one in government, they want us to believe this document is in some way. going to indict paul. in fact, we've read the document and there is nothing in it. there is nothing to the point that in july it's a bulge in government, began talking with false warrior to tell him that they were about to close the case and nothing was going to happen. there was no evidence found there any way could be used to indict fall the testimony of the co accused. and there was actually a test, a written testimony from paul to paul began this in person after person talked about their testimony. when they came up on the stand and they said it was coerced . in paul's case, it was coerced at the end of 4 days of torture. with no lawyer present, he was forced to sign a document. at least one of the code used said in court that he signed

a document. she said not even rep. his lawyer presented him with the documents. most of the co use talked about the coercion that went into their written testimony and their verbal testimony. on the other hand, in open court, the just break in to return to the general assembly. you can see remarks that recorded by around recently elected president, emperor him, are being played out to the assembly right now. let's have a listen in a severe it's been a dependence. they writing and people are monotheist and patriotic. they have that unique identity and love to explore the world for hundreds of use. our nation have safeguard their right to self determination and freedom against the head. geminus is not made the country the most progressive in the election based political system in the west of asia. islamic revolution was indeed a great leap for the full filament of national. it is dominic deals of iranians,

including freedom, independence, and religious democracy. i as the elected president of the great people of iran on it, to be their representative, to convey to the world at large the message of rationality, justice and freedom which are the 3 most fundamental principles of the life of the contemporary men. however, those 3 principles that all the abrahamic religions have in common would not be able to attain the purpose without spirituality, freedom and justice as to the sacred and innocent words, but all too broad to define are indeed very tough and intricate when it comes to practice things of freedom means the right to think decide and act for all the human beings. peace and lasting security are tied to the administration of justice. and basically the divine profits emerge so that people

would mind justice and exercise the right. justice and freedom may be achieved only when the rights of all nations office failed. as a matter of fact, any violation of the rights of nations with more than anything in the global peace and security. ladies and gentlemen, this year 2 scene made a history. one was on january the 6th, when the us congress was attacked by the people and to when the people of afghanistan would drop down from the us plain. in august. from the capital to capital one clear the message was sent to the world. the united states had gemini system has no credibility, whether inside or outside the country. what is seen in our region today proves that

not only the head geminus and the idea of him and me, but also the projects of imposing what's a nice identity have failed miserably. the result of seeking had gemini, has been blocked spelling and instability, and ultimately defeat at escape. today, the u. s. does not get to exit iraq and afghanistan, but is expelled. and at the same time, he to the oppressed people from palestine and syria, to yemen and up gun, it's done as well as the us taxpayers who have to pay for this lack of rationality . today, the world doesn't care about america. first, all america is fag feverish analogy prevailed in the minds of the decision makers. they have to realize that nations persevere and is stronger than the power of the

superpowers. over the past decade, the u. s. has be making the mistake of modifying its way of war with the world instead of changing it to way of life. and your romeo paul cannot be brought to fruition by merely adopting a different method sanctions, or the us new way of war with the nations of the world. sanctions against the arena . nations started not with my country nuclear programs. they even produces nomic revolution and go back to the 951. when will nationalization went on the way to rod, which in turn led to a military coup back by the americans and the britons against the government of iran, which had been elected by the people. sanction, and especially sanctions on medicine at the time of colbert 19 pandemic. a crimes against humanity. the holy koran introduces the destruction of nature and mankind

as a major, correct? terrific of the tyrants. baseline, the republic of iran proposes, but any kind of sanction induced restriction or disruption and the supply of good health and environment as to humanitarian issues. be declared for bitten my robot. i on behalf of the rain, a nation and millions of refugees hosted by my country would like to condemn the continued illegal new with sanctions, especially in the error of humanitarian items. and demands that this organized crime against humanity be recorded as a symbol and reality of the so called american human rights. despite the fact that they lumnick republic up iran was keen from the outset to purchase and import cobra . 1900 vaccines from reliable international forces. it faced in humane medical sanctions. therefore, from the very beginning,

we started to painfully produce vaccines domestically in addition to the peaceful nuclear satellite technology, iran is the medical hub of the region and numerous iranian physicians and sciences, such as i've set out shine in the history of human kind knowledge that is beneficial to humanity can not be sanctioned. we ourselves have been able to produce fuel for the wrong research reactor, which makes radio from a suitable for more than 1000000 cancer patients in iran. we have also made astonishing progress in the area of biotechnology and stem cells in spite of all sanctions. and today, despite all sanctions targeting human right, we have become one of the manufacturers of cobra,

1900 backseat cooperation amongst the countries of the world in the realm of health and especially on vaccines is tantamount to helping the spirit of humanity. and the policy based on divinity humanity and international relations. current of virus is a wake up call for the whole world. reminding us once again that the security of all human beings are interdependent. crises in the human society, such as violence, poverty, unemployment, more. and you cannot make corruption collapse. so family foundation regional was organized, terrorism and environmental crises are all the results of inattention to the principles of rationality, justice and freedom. ladies and gentlemen, the strategic thoughts of the republic of iran are rooted ideas of the founder with islamic revolution. the late mam khomeini my his soul rest in peace, as well as the genuine concepts up to his long rationality, prudent and pondering,

and resulted in the resistance in line with the national interests of countries. speaking about the rights of nations without speaking of the obligations of the government cannot bring about the full amount of the rights as the independence of a nation is its freedom. these land revolution support this kind of freedom and hence obstruct extremism. and this is the nature of the true strength of the stomach republic of iran, which does good to all the islamic republic of iran, is inspiring such the power emanating from it. cri, 8th security. the security making model of the atlantic republic of iran is based on forming inter regional mechanisms through diplomacy that is pivoted on and free from outside. it's appearances. it has been our policy to strive for the preservation of stability and territorial integrity of all the countries of the

region. if not for the power and role of iran alongside the governments and peoples up syria and iraq, as well as the surplus efforts off martin mighty l. hondas in general. awesome, silly money today. isis would be the mediterranean neighbours of europe. and of course, isis would not be the last wave of extremism. the new tribe to come up with the cold will rest divisions, will not help foster the security of humans by isolating independent countries. an arbitrary attitude is not the way to solve terrorism, because terrorism has its roots in various crises such as identity and economy. the fact that modern lives have become devoid of meaning and spirituality as well as the spread of poverty, discrimination and oppression have helped the rise of terrorism. the increasing growth of indigenous terrorism in the west. bear witness to this, but the truth,

even more bitter, is the use of terrorism as an instrument for foreign policy. because you cannot fight terrorism with double standards. you cannot make a terrorist group or so does ice is in a certain place and claim to fight it somewhere else. off the 1st seeking the grace of the almighty caught the solution to skirmishes and conflicts in our region lies in the following, making the will of nations rule over their own destiny by referring to the results of public vote. but in order for this to materialize, 2 basic preconditions need be met. one whole thing, the russians of the outsiders and occupation, and to the sincere cooperation of government to counter terror. the military presence of the united states, in theory or in iraq is the biggest hindrance to this stablish of democracy and will of nation. freedom does not fit in the backpacks of soldiers coming from

outside the region. if an inclusive government, having an effective participation of all of it, it shouldn't emerge to run africa and security would not be restored to the country and like occupation. paternalism is also doomed to failure. the humanitarian crisis in yemen is very worrying on the world need to break it, silence towards crimes against humanity, the solution, the speedy and unconditional stop to the many aggression opening of channels providing humanitarian aid and facilitation of constructive talk between many groups the occupies on his regime is the organizer of the biggest states terrorism whose agenda is to slaughter women and children in gaza and the west bank today. and all our blockade has turned garza up to the biggest prison and the

was the so called deal of the century failed. just like any other deal forced on palestinian, there is only one solution holding a referendum with the participation of all palestinians of all religions and as soon as it is including muslims, christians and jews. this solution was set forth by the supreme leader of the republic of iran many years ago, which is now registered as one of the official documents of the united nation. mister chairman. today, the whole world, including the americans themselves, have admitted that the project of countering the rain in people which manifested itself in the form of violating the j. c p. away, and was followed by the maximum pressure. an arbitrary withdrawal was from an

internationally recognized the agreement has totally failed. however, the policy of maximum tyranny is still on. we want nothing more than what is rightfully ours. we demand the implementation of international rules. all parties must stay true to the nuclear deals and the un resolution in practice. 15 reports released by the i a, have a tested to the hearing stuff, iran to its commitment. however, the united states has not yet discharged its obligation, which is lifting sanction. it has encroached upon the agreement, withdrawn from it and love it even more sanctions on my people. the united states mistakenly believed it would render us desperate and devastated. but our perseverance has yielded results and will always do for the smart and dynamic

resistance of the republic. up, iran comes from our strategic rationality and we don't trust the promises made by the us government. it is the strategic policy of the land republic of iran to consider the production and stockpiling of atomic weapons as forbidden. and that based on the religious decree by his eminence, the supreme leader knew no place in our defense doctrine. and the terrans policy that mac republic considers youthful but talk whose alternate outcome is the lifting of all oppressive sanction. while decisively defending all its right and the interests of its people, iran is keen to have large scale political and economic cooperation and convergence with the rest of the world. i seek effective interaction with all the countries of

the world, especially with our neighbors, and shake the hand warmly. and you era has begun this land republic up. iran is ready to place part for a better world, world brimful of rationality, justice, freedom, morality, and virtue, ality. thank you all for your attention. piece a mess. you have a la be upon you. on behalf of the general assembly, which 2 things, the president of these, i mean the iran community elected president abraham a you see it was a recorded speech from him. that's his newly elected president. that's a pull. no punches from the van to the capital. he said in the united states, to pull out a couple, the u. s. has no credibility talks about the euclid deal saying, the wrong ones,

nothing more than what is rightfully theirs and all parties may must stay true to the nuclear deal. let's cross to yield to james bay's all the musk editor and james around the president using his moment to strongly criticize the united states. no surprise. and indeed the sanctions imposed on iraq. yeah, i don't think there were many surprises in that speech. to be honest, it was pretty much a template. and iranian president's speech criticism of america that always is that and focusing on 2 things. as you said, one was january, the sick, and the attack on capitol hill and the other was what was the pool of cobble take over by the taliban saying in both shows the u. s. has no credibility. i think the other thing we were watching for in the speech was anything new on the nuclear debate and the nuclear negotiations, which had been dragging on in vienna with very little progress. and remember that hasn't been any session of that negotiations for some considerable time. now and i

was looking to see what the new government is going to do. the word on the street is that may well be some sessions in vienna, in the coming weeks, but no real direct. a mention of the negotiations from the new radian president. he did those stress, the sanctions issue repeatedly on the suggestion remain ready is that to get things getting the u. s. needs to lift those sanctions in order to return to the nuclear deal. he's saying that the a had no problems with iran because the i a doesn't believe that iran is currently in compliance. j. c p, about 0 nuclear deal. but of course neither is the us because the u. s. is pulled out of that deal and it's worth also telling you, nick, that we had thought that perhaps that be some movement here in new york. certainly some ambassadors, western ambassadors that, that would've been very beneficial if they've been further meetings involving those that are still in the nuclear deal. the full amount of the security council plus

germany and iran, if they'd had a meeting. or even if that been a meeting between the us and the iranians here, possibly with the new radian foreign minister in the us, secretary of state. well, there is going to be no meeting between the new us and the iranians. there is going to be no meeting of the participants of the nuclear deal. we are now learning what is going on is some of the other participants individually. the u. k. for example, germany, france, will be meeting with the iranian foreign minister. we expect the russians and chinese also probably to do that. so the chinese are not represented at this general assembly at any high level of the chinese president and the foreign minister, both not here at the un general assembly this year. and in fact, the chinese president will be speaking in a few hours time. and again, as you saw with your writing speech, you'll be another one of these pre recorded speech speeches because they've decided the cobra reasons not to come to new york.
