Iran’s overcrowded Urmia Central Prison was the site of riots on Tuesday as prisoners who were frightened of catching COVID-19 set their blankets alight in the “secure section” of the prison. The prison has room for 50 prisoners, but currently has 150 present. Seven prisoners have already lost their lives to the deadly virus, according to a Kurdish human rights organization. A hundred have also been infected.
The Coronavirus outbreak has spread the whole way across Iran, claiming the lives of more than 41,500 people and spreading to more than 300 cities. The health crisis has particularly affected prisons in Iran, where the conditions are a perfect breeding ground for this COVID-19 virus that can be deadly to many.
The people of Iran have been holding regular strikes, protests and anti-government demonstrations for years. Over the past few years, these have intensified, sometimes into very significant uprisings. The people of Iran are calling for regime change as they know this is the only solution if they are ever to experience true freedom, democracy, and human rights.
The Iranian economy reopened more than a month ago and more lives have been lost to COVID-19. The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) revealed up to Tuesday more than 41,000 Iranians had lost their lives to COVID-19. This has been exacerbated by the regime’s decision to force workers back to their workplaces. The regime has failed to recognize this high death toll and is still insisting that it is only 7,000.
According to a recent article by Struan Stevenson, a supporter of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi and the Mojahedin-e Khalk (MEK) since 1979, the Iranian regime has not only sponsored terrorism globally but has given money to regional conflicts as well over the last few decades.
Since the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak in Iran, the regime has deceived the people of Iran about the gravity of the situation and the extent of the outbreak. It has done the same to the international community.
On Wednesday, April 22, 2020, the Iranian Regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) launched a ballistic missile on the pretext of sending a satellite into orbit.
The Iranian regime is reversing restrictions on the movement and activity of Iranian citizens even though there is no sign that the number of infections from Covid-19 has slowed. The Iranian regime appears to have been lying about the number of infections and deaths due to the disease in what some people think is the worst outbreak in the Middle East and one of the worst in the world.
