Iran-Ask Zarif about situation of human rights and 57 executions

On July 17, the CFR and their president Richard Haass has invited Javad Zarif, the Iranian regimes foreign minister to speak at the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development and meet counterparts.

The set of goals to be reviewed in depth will be the following, including Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, that will be considered each year:

·         Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere

·         Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

·         Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

·         Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

·         Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

·         Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

poverty in Iran -street children

The problems for Zarif and his regime starts at the first goal, how can anyone expect a regime to work to end poverty when they are the very cause of poverty in Iran? The first step for the regime must be to stop funding terrorism around the Middle East and especially Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon. But we all know that the regime will never abandon their proxies. The regime has just ratified the minimum wages in Iran to be 1/3 under the poverty line, that means that most families in Iran live under the poverty line.

The mullahs regime is not doing any better on goal 2, in their attempt to get fast money from petrol wells they rerouted rivers and destroyed Iran's bread basket, they turned Irans most fertile area into a desert. Large parts of Iran do not have access to clean drinking water, and it is the failed environmental policy of the regime that is the cause of the drought.

The Iranian regime will never be able to uphold goal 3. If they shall have any hope of upholding that they must stop torturing and harassing ordinary people, they must free all political prisoners, to ensure healthy lives the regime must put together a good health care service so that poor mother is not forced to sell their children in order to pay hospital bills. One other thing, how can they ensure peoples well-being when they tense to execute everyone that disagrees with their rule?

Iran SSF impound the cars of those who are improperly veiled

This regime will never be able to reach goal 5, they just passed a law that forbids women to take off the mandatory hijab in their own cars. This regime has also forbidden women to ride bicycles. One minister went as far as claiming that the drought in Iran is caused by women who refuse to obey hijab laws. Do you really expect that a regime that is capable of this ever will respect and uphold Human Rights?

Goal 9. the regime have building cranes but they are used to hang people, there are no cranes available to use to build neither infrastructure nor new buildings.

With the points above in mind, we ask you, Mr. Haass please reconsider your invitation of Zarif and respect the victims of this regime. 

The message of Paris gathering is Iran regime change

This weekend the Free Iran Gathering was held in Paris, more than 100 000 people participated. Several American politicians attended, one of them was former US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton. 
John Bolton remarked that the Iranian resistance is the only people that would truly be able to rule Iran instead of the Regime. He continued by saying that there is a viable opposition to the rule of the Ayatollahs and that opposition was present at the Gathering. He also praised Donald Trump’s attitude to the Iranian regime, which has been evident ever since he was on the campaign trail. The US Congress is working towards new economic sanctions against the Iranian Regime. The Iranian regime will not last to see its 40th birthday Bolton stated. 

Bolton addressed the Iranian regime as the central cause for the destabilization of the middle east and he expressed concern over

substantial upsurge in Iranian political landscape change

As we are getting closer to the Iranian resistance’s Grand Gathering in Paris, July 1. the fear of the regime is that the people are demanding a regime change. To prevent that from happening they are terrorizing civilians in the streets.Videos from inside Iran reveals the harassment and abuse conducted by the moral police.  The Iranian people are getting more and more abused as the regime are getting more and more fearful.
The fear of the mullahs regime of Iran is manifesting itself as terrorist activities conducted by the so called moral police and many other kinds of police as mountain police or hijab police and so on. The Basij militia is also contributing to the terror.This means that the Iranian people are at the mercy of murderers. 

The Grand Gathering have appealed to the Iranian youth, they want a regime change and are willing to risk their freedom to achieve it. The Iranian regime is using the war in Syria and Iraq to strangle any attempt of an uprising in Iran, they are willing to do anything to prevent an uprising like the one in 2009.
  

They have admitted that they have held 300 exhibitions against the MEK up to now. The MEK is getting recognized as a leading institute in Human Rights. The regime says that Iranian youth is the target of the MEK and the regime must address that as a threat. The regime’s intelligence ministry has produced an 8000-word long report against the MEK. In this report, the role of MEK  exposing the regime’s nuclear projects is disguised. The administration of the project says: “following exposure of the nuclear weapons program, the media published  reports in this regard and this was the  beginning of a major crisis that resulted in the adoption of several resolutions and sanctions with the devastating effects which are still continuing.” 

One other thing is lashing of people who do not fast, it is Ramadan and in Iran, and under the Mullahs regime, it is forbidden to show that you are anything different than Shia Muslim. Christians and Bahais do not fast but the police are harassing them and even lashing them if they eat in public.  

A third issue is the media coverage and protests regarding the 1988 massacre.The release of audiotapes that was admitting the regime's agenda initiated a worldwide movement and during the last 10 months have created a huge momentum against the ongoing violations of human rights in Iran, both inside and outside of Iran.

Justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre published in February 2017 details of numerous mass graves in Iran. The report refers to a mass grave near the Behesht Abad cemetery in Ahvaz. Amnesty International published news on June 1, 2017, warning that the Iranian authorities may be attempting to desecrate the mass grave in an attempt to destroy vital forensic evidence, and sabotage opportunities for justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre.

The growing sympathies for MEK is a result of these revelations and the regime is doing anything in their power to counter the effect. Most of the victims in this massacre were MEK members.

All people in Iran is speaking about the massacre and it is now a big movement in Iran that is working against the mullahs crimes and in addition, the fractions inside the regime are fighting each other.  

Iranian prisoners suppression after Iran election

As Rouhani starts to serve his second term, the torture and abuse are increasing in prisons around Iran. The same can be said about executions. Immediately after holding the sham elections the clerical regime, the torture in prisons across the country resumed. During the first days after the re-election of Rouhani, 10 prisoners in the prisons of Tabriz, Zahedan, Ardebil, Kermanshah, Isfahan Central Prison in Karaj was hanged. During the sham election youth across Iran was protesting against the mullahs. To silence the protesters the regime does what they do best, they resorted to mass executions. The mullahs agents in the West will claim that the moderates have won the election, but there are no such thing as a moderate in the mullahs regime. 

Maryam Akbari Monfared

According to statistic, the number of prisoners in Iranian prisons has increased  333% since the mullahs highjacked the people's revolution in 1979. In comparison, the general population has increased 66% in the same time span. 

The physical conditions in Iranian prisons can be compared with the medieval dungeons, the sanitary conditions are equally bad. The access to clean water is random and most of the time absent. The prison ward has many different torture methods to be used on the prisoners. The torture can take the form of, physical abuse like beating, electrification, denial of medical treatment or denial of clean water or food. Or they can take the form of psychological abuse like denial of visits from family members, arbitrary arrest of one or several family members to be held as hostages. And lies about your children, siblings or parents will be used if the prison authorities think that can break you down.
   

Civil activist and political prisoner on hunger 

What is just as disturbing as the horrific conditions in the prisons is the fact that most of the prisoners are not criminals but the political opposition, human rights activists, children's rights activists, teachers, journalists, lawyers, students, supporters of the PMOI and sometimes children who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you are seen supporting the opposition or the resistance (PMOI) you face execution. 
The prison security in Iranian prisons are behind the torture and abuse that are put upon the prisoners, they are also the head of drug cartels that controls the flow of drugs that are distributed in Iranian prisons.

Come celebrate Nowruz with the Iranian Resistance

 On march 20 2017, at 11 AM CET,  please join Iranians in their demand for a free Iran and join the twitter storm and tweet your support with the hashtags #FreeIran #Nowrouz.
Nowruz is an ancient tradition dating back as far as 5000 years. The first to celebrate the new year was the Kurdish Zarthosth worshipers.

Iran- Sabze symbol of growing in Nowruz

The jumping over fire comes from these early celebrations. The word Nowruz is made up of two words: nou = new and the word Ruz= day so it literarily means “new-day”. The celebrations take place over 13 days and are starting on the 29. Esfand.  In early Persian tradition, the people used 25 days before the celebration to prepare wheat, rye, oats, pies, corn, beans and sesame seed and the seeds that had the best growth was the best crop to sow this year. The celebrations nowadays are quite different.

Iranian Traditional Fire Festival Celebration

As I mentioned earlier the Nowruz celebrations predates Islam with thousands of years, and was originally a celebration of new life, of the sunlight returning and in the ancient Persia the year was divided into two parts, summer with 7 months and winter 5 months. In Iran, following the 1979 revolution the regime has been trying to eliminate the Nowruz celebrations with very little success. The regime considers Nowruz a pagan holiday and a distraction from Islamic holidays.
Every year before Nowruz people are doing Xane tekani, this means spring cleaning and this year this means a spring cleaning of the house of Iran, we must throw out the old and expired (the Regime) and start the new year with clean slates.
The Charshanbe suri is celebrated on the last Wednesday eve before the new year. It is usually celebrated with people making bonfires and jumping over them, as well as setting of fireworks and sparkles.
The decorative table is a must in the Nowruz celebrations, on the table you must have 7 items starting with the letter S.
Sabze: wheat, barley or lentil sprout grown in a bowl
Samanu: a sweet pudding made from germinated wheat
Senjed: the dried fruit of the oleaster tree
Sir: garlic
Sib: apples
Somaq: sumac berries
Serke: vinegar

Nowruz Iranian tradition Haft Sin

In the news emerging from Iranian Nowruz celebrations this year we see that the rallies turned into large protests against the clerical regime, in Tehran youth was burning portraits of Khomeini and Khamenei in protest, people all over Iran chanted Death to the mullahs and mullahs must go. The riot police have been trying to stop the celebrations but their efforts were futile. People have had enough of the mullahs and are longing for a regime change, they are dreaming and wishing for a better life.
The clergy in Tehran knows all too well that this means that their days are numbered. The mullahs are trying to prevent their downfall with more suppression, more torture, more arbitrary arrests and more public executions but the people refuse to be silenced. The people will not stop until Iran is free of her chains given her by the Islamic regime.
Iranian citizens celebrate Nowruz this year with the hope of a perspective ahead for a good year to come, the year that marks the end of the Mullahs.
