Misogynist Iranian Regime Sentences Narges Mohammadi to Prison and Flogging
One of the most defining characteristics of the Iranian dictatorship is its aggression against women.

Narges Mohammadi has been sentenced to prison and flogging by the misogynist clerical authorities once more. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Women’s Committee condemns Ms. Mohammadi’s re-arrest and punitive sentence. It calls on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and other women’s rights organizations to speak out against the regime’s repression, executions, and criminal penalties, and to take immediate action to obtain the release of political prisoners, particularly women.

Iran: Time for Iranian Officials to Face Justice Over 1988 Massacre
Freedom-loving Iranians and relatives of those killed in Iran’s summer 1988 slaughter have been demonstrating in Stockholm for months.

They urged the international community to hold the mullahs’ dictatorship accountable for human rights violations and crimes against humanity. They have traveled from all over Europe to gather in the bitter cold to express their demands as an Iranian regime henchman, Hamid Noury, stands trial for his role in the 1988 mass killings of over 30,000 political prisoners, mostly members and supporters of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran).

25 national TV networks carried by Intelsat and 20 similar channels broadcast by Badrsat are among the satellite TV stations that have been blocked. Hundreds of national radio stations, provincial and local city television stations were also placed on “critical alert” and rumored to be on the verge of ceasing broadcasting.

According to a statement released on Monday, January 31, by the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), dozens of satellite television networks, as well as hundreds of national radio stations, provincial and local TV stations across Iran, have been severely disrupted since January 27, citing a report obtained from inside the regime’s Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) monitoring system.

Immigration statistics and numbers offer a frightening picture. Women are now at the vanguard of those feeling the country, escaping the regime’s oppressive ethos.

Iran’s clerics have been besieged by a series of crises, particularly in recent years. Every year, these problems worsen and accelerate, with no prospects of abating or slowing down anytime soon.

One notable example is the acceleration of Iran’s brain drain, with thousands of young, educated Iranians departing each year, and the government bears sole responsibility for this vast exodus.

Despite the fact that a new administration has taken office, the situation has only worsened. This matter has been addressed extensively within government circles multiple times, but the regime has made no significant reforms to solve the problem. This becomes even more absurd when the dictatorship asks for the return of the Iranian diaspora while simultaneously creating an insecure and scorched environment for anyone who tries to return.

Indeed, the mullahs outperformed the Shah in every facet of repression, executing almost 120,000 Iranians who fought for freedom. And the suppression machinery hasn’t slowed down in 40 years.

Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of Iran’s theocratic system, has continued to abuse people’s freedoms and rights under the guise of religion and Islam. The Shah’s harsh practices, which were briefly suspended by the revolution, including violations of freedom of expression, arrests, imprisonment, and torture of dissidents, were resumed under Khomeini and the current regime’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, albeit in different methods.

A rising number of regime officials are expressing grave concerns about infiltration among their ranks and files.

Iranian regime officials and state media remain enraged about the recent disruption of 27 state television and radio networks, which led to the broadcasting of footage of Iranian opposition figures and the destruction of over 400 servers. Many state TV stations were still unable to broadcast subtitles and publicize their programming before to transmission even 24 hours after the incident.

Active and retired teachers are among those who have been affected by the economic crisis and the regime’s inaction in drafting legislation and allocating resources to enhance their working circumstances.

On Saturday, January 29, teachers in dozens of locations around Iran went on strike and organized protests in schools, reaffirming demands they’ve been making for years. One of the primary demands of the protesting teachers is the adoption of the “classification plan,” which is meant to rearrange their compensation.

They also want pensions for retired teachers to be adjusted to reflect rising inflation and basic goods prices.

In contrast to the current appeasement policy, the US and European governments should recognize Iran’s regime’s tragedies and elevate their demands. Not only should the regime’s nuclear program be curtailed, but also serious steps must be done to eliminate the regime’s deadly missile and drone programs, as well as Tehran’s negative influence in the Middle East.

As the standoff over Iran’s contentious nuclear program drags on, and 10 months and eight rounds of Vienna talks have yielded little, recent remarks by Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei have added to the already complicated situation. The current impasse is causing deep divisions within Khamenei’s own faction. Some individuals are cheering direct talks with the US, while others are calling such a shift in tone “treason.”

“No one could have predicted such a large number of victims two years ago,” Iran observers said. “What the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have imposed on the Iranian people is an extra crime.”

While coronavirus has claimed the lives of 5.6 million people worldwide, the Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) declared that the number of Covid-19 fatalities in Iran had crossed 500,000. In other words, Iran accounted for around one-tenth of all deaths worldwide.

This figure was compiled by the MEK’s domestic network, which now spans 547 cities across Iran’s 31 provinces. In this regard, the MEK has made daily announcements indicating the country’s dangerous coronavirus situation, in contradiction to the Health Ministry’s misleading reports.
