The death of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian woman who was arrested and beaten by the Iranian regime’s repressive morality police, has enraged the Iranian people and sparked a wave of protests in recent days. In their protests, the people targeted the regime’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
This week in Iran saw two significant human rights crimes. One of them was the Iranian regime’s decision to build walls around the Khavaran mass graves of the 1988 Massacre victims. Amnesty International claimed on September 13 that the regime is “concealing the mass graves of the victims of the 1988 prison massacre.” Amnesty asked UN member nations to put pressure on the regime to stop concealing the mass graves of the massacre victims from the public.
Iran. The tragic death of a 22-year-old woman in Tehran has been making headlines since September 16, and once again, stories other than the typical nuclear-terrorism saga have provided information about the unrest in the country.
Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old woman from Saqqez in Kurdistan Province, western Iran, was arrested by the regime’s so-called “Guidance Patrol” on Tuesday, September 13, at the entry of the Haqqani Highway and transferred to the “Moral Security” agency.
Iranians who value freedom and People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK) members demonstrated to denounce Mahsa Amini’s death on Saturday in a number of European cities, New York, and Toronto.
In 1983, the Iranian regime began its pursuit of nuclear weapons. The most significant exposure made by People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK) sources inside Iran that sparked international scrutiny occurred on August 14, 2002, when intelligence reports from MEK sources inside Iran revealed the Natanz uranium enrichment site and the Arak heavy water facility.
The possible military dimension (PMD) of the Iranian regime’s already highly contentious nuclear weapons program remains unresolved and a source of ongoing concern for Tehran’s mullahs.
In the final week of August alone, Iranian communities held rallies in at least six countries to draw attention to unresolved crimes against humanity and to condemn what opposition activists have dubbed Western “appeasement” strategies toward Iran’s regime.
On September 8, 1978, the official number of victims was never declared by the Shah. However, according to field reports, between 100 and 205 citizens were murdered in order to keep Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in power.
Many relatives of death row inmates in Iran protested for the sixth day consecutively outside the regime’s judiciary in Tehran, demanding that all executions be halted. Protesting the regime’s recent wave of executions across the country, mothers, fathers, wives, and children of inmates sentenced to death held placards and chanted “Don’t execute!” and “No to executions!”
