The future of Iran's uprising ,Concerns and Reactions

Iran's Future, In Its Own Words
By +Heshmat Alavi 

On the very sensitive subject of how Iran plans to confront ongoing protests, described by some as an uprising, all the while attempting to resolve the very issues engulfing the ruling regime, there are critical concerns raising from various voices within.
And considering U.S. President Donald Trump's powerful State of the Union message, underscoring "America stands with the people of Iran in their courageous struggle for freedom," the stakes at hand in the months ahead for Tehran are extremely high.

Iran uprising 2018

Iran's state-linked media are a good source, shedding significant and noteworthy light on the seemingly obscure nature of the Iranian regime.

The common tone heard in all such messages is hopelessness. Those loyal to the faction of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei see the solution in sacking the regime's president, Hassan Rouhani.
Arguments from the other side of the aisle in Tehran's politics rely on warning the Khamenei camp that such a scenario will not end the regime's escalating quandaries. This is only the beginning and there is no stopping this train, adding the entirety of this regime is in the crosshairs.
There are those who believe dark days await those sitting on the throne in Tehran, speaking of future uprising waves. Providing no solutions, their words can mean nothing but succumbing to an inevitable downfall.
"Those who have continuously spread despair and anxiety through their platforms in state TV/radio and Friday prayers (in reference to the Khamenei camp) seek to portray Rouhani as incompetent. They issue and chant slogans of 'Death to Rouhani,' failing to answer the inescapable question of who after Rouhani. The answer is obvious: surpassing Rouhani means overcoming the government, reaching the very principle of our state, and finally surpassing the Islamic Republic itself," according to the Tadbir24 website, known for its affiliation to the Rouhani camp.
Interesting is how this piece considers Rouhani a synonym of the ruling state or at least the velayat-e faqih regime's last chance of survival, warning surpassing Rouhani is tantamount to the end of the clerical rule altogether.
Protesters in the streets, however, are crystal clear in their intentions and how they view the overall regime apparatus. Chanting "Death to Rouhani," "Death to Khamenei," and most interestingly, "Reformists, principalists, end of story," the Iranian people are demanding sweeping changes, accepting nothing short of regime change. This ends Iran's scheme of portraying a system established on two parties of conservatives and reformists.

Reformists, principalists, end of story

"The issue at hand is not limited to merely surpassing Rouhani. More grave ends may be awaiting us," according to the Jamaran website, explaining how these protests are raising eyebrows across the board amongst senior Iranian officials.
"Let us be frank: Taking into consideration the current heading, our destination will be nothing but all out ruin," according to the Asr Iran website, another Rouhani camp mouthpiece.
"The society has become a cradle for numerous crises that will surface in other forms (read in further nationwide protests)," according to Rouhani's economic advisor Hossein Zaghfar.
Warnings of other crises in the making and Iran anticipating further calamities are indicating signs of Iran's ruling elite understanding very well there the harsh reality of these protests' refusal to ever melt down.
To add insult to injury for the mullahs, the brave Iranian people are showing how the regime's crackdown machine no longer enjoys its previous teeth. For forty years the clerical regime has been relying on this entity to remain intact and in power. Scenes of protesters tearing down Khamenei posters and attacking sites of the Revolutionary Guards Basij paramilitary force, parallel to a wave of Basij members burning their IDs and credentials, speak for themselves.
Iran's protests will continue despite the fact that authorities killed 53 protesters and sent over 8,000 others behind bars, reports indicate.
The Iranian people are proving to the world over their objective of seeking regime change and establishing a republic based on democratic values rightfully cherished by most of today's countries.
History shows those movements presenting a specific alternative to the ruling state have a far better chance of realizing victory for the people. A leading entity with a publicized plan for the future and the courage that the populace can rely on.
The time has come to set aside the "reformist" mirage in Iran. For decades, Maryam Rajavi, as President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, is providing the sole, realistic alternative for Iran with a ten-point plan that enjoys the support of thousands of elected officials across the globe.
For starters, however, there are certain duties and obligations before the international community:
•Demand the release of all recently arrested protesters & political prisoners.
•Provide free internet access to all of Iran to allow activists report the truth about this regime, unfortunately, cloaked by mainstream media.
•Continue cutting off Iran's access to the global financial system. This will deprive the IRGC of the financial sources it desperately needs to continue its slate of domestic and foreign belligerence.
This is a noble launch of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Iranian people in "their courageous struggle for freedom."

Iranian people protest the regimes plundering

16.10.17
By Zohair Ahmad
For the past 3 weeks, the people of Iran has conducted a 24-hour sit-down to protest the regimes plundering of their assets. The protesters are no longer afraid of the police and their slogan for the protests are “Shame on you #Rouhani “. There are videos of the protests spread all over the internet so the regime’s censorship agencies have failed in their strategy of trying to isolate the Iranian people from the rest of the world. It has been a long-term strategy of the regime to cut the Iranian society’s connections with the rest of the world but people are inventive in their ways of getting the messages out to the rest of the world.

 The Iranian wealth has been plundered from the people and have ended up in the pockets of the mullahs or have been used to monger war I Syria, Iraq and Yemen. This conduct has made the “Persian lion” angry, the mullahs are getting richer at the expense of the people and that is not acceptable. Many of the protesters have not been paid their lawful salaries and people are starving due to the rise in poverty that the regime is the main cause of. 
 The Iranian people show the regime exactly what they think of the regime and there is no doubt that the Iranian people want a regime change in the near future. We have seen during the presidential (S)- election that people are no longer playing along with the regime's games and made it very clear that their preferred president was the NCRI President-Elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. Posters all over Iran brings testimony to this wish from the people. 
And during the second half of the year, we can see a significant rise in protests all across the country.  This is a clear sign of the beginning of the end for the clerical regime. People are letting the regime know that enough is enough, they will rather die standing than living their lives on their knees. The proud people of Iran are showing the mullahs that they stand tall and will never yield. 
 The only solution to the plundering and the poverty are a regime change, only when NCRI and the Iranian people are in charge of Iran will there be peace and democracy. The NCRI has pledged to establish a social security system that takes care of the children, the old and the disabled, in the future Iran no one will starve or be homeless. The government will be working to make lives better for the average Iranian, not like it is now, just the mullahs and their families are not starving. 
And it is this future Iran that the people are protesting for, they want a democratically elected President and they want basic human rights and above all they want freedom. 

Iranians gather in New York to protest Rouhani’s presence in the UN General Assembly

14,09.17
By Zohair Ahmad
For several years now, Iranians community in the USA and their supporters have held rallies in front of UN to Protest the conduct of the Iranian regime. This year is no different. The rally this year will take place on September 20th outside the UN headquarters. This year a photo exhibition commemorating the anniversary of the 1988 Massacre will be on display. 

Present at the rally this year will be exile-Iranians and their supporters which will be joined by many Syrians who are protesting IRGC presence in Syria. The main slogan in this rally will be «No2Rouhani». but also «Iran out of Syria» the call for a regime change in Iran is also important issues for this rally. 

In this rally, thousands of Iranian-American community members will join human rights activists and prominent civil and political leaders to condemn unabated executions in Iran. We have seen under Rouhanis tenure that in fact the number of executions are not unabated but are in fact increasing. More than 3000 executed, in July alone at least 101 Iranians executed. So far this year 408 people have been executed according to official numbers but the actual amount of executions might be higher due to secret executions. It is therefore of utmost importance that we protest this grave violation of human rights that is taking place at the hands of the Iranian regime. It is a known fact that Rouhani represents a regime responsible for the execution of 30 000 political prisoners in 1988, and the UN must recognize this and uninvite him to the UN assembly. Iranians demand the UN not to allow a perpetrator of the 1988 massacre of Iranian political prisoners access to the UN assembly.

Protest of Iranian youth tribute the 1988 massacre victims

One other issue important in this rally is the urgent matter of expelling the Iranian regimes forces IRGC out of Syria, at this rally the demand will be to remove all Iranian presence in Syria so that the Syrian people will get their freedom. It is a known fact that without the support of the terrorist group IRGC, Assad would have lost power many years ago. Rouhani is the main supporter of dictator Assad in Syria, and the only way to be able to end the conflict in Syria will be to expel Iran from the whole region.One of the most hideous crimes committed in Syria by IRGC was the Aleppo massacre in 2016. Therefore the demand is to expel Iran from Syria. 

We demand the UN, judge Rouhani by his deeds and not by his words for he has no problem to lie if that gives him an advantage. Look at how he is approving torture in prisons, not objecting to executions, he was, in fact, the very man that expressed the wish for public executions after Friday prayers. Rouhani was one of the key players behind the mass executions of political prisoners in Iran in 1988. 
Iranian Americans will in this Rally emphasize that regime change in Iran is imperative and achievable, not by means of outside military interference, but from Iran’s own people and their organized resistance, which is fully prepared to facilitate that change. Please keep speaking out for the political prisoners in their 40th day of hunger strike. We must show them they are not forgotten. 
You are welcomed to join.   

On International Youth Day more oppression for Iranian boys and girls

12.08.17
By Zohair Ahmad
On this year's youth day the conditions for young people in Iran is worse than ever. 
The human rights abuse against young men and women have indeed increased under Rouhani’s rule.
 On InternationalYouthDay we remember and praise the vibrant, energetic & talented girls who were executed by Iran regime in 1988 massacre & were not able to blossom.

Youth victims of 1988 massacre

 The world’s politicians have believed the Iranian lobby’ists who have claimed that Rouhani is a moderate. But his merits proves different, under Rouhani 3000 prisoners have been executed and a large number of the victims are juveniles. Official records show that 5000 prisoners on death-row are between 20 and 30 years of age.The daily human rights violations have indeed increased at the same rapid rate.  The clerical regime has cracked down on women in many different ways, the compulsory hijab law is one of them, even in the privacy of their own cars women are not allowed to remove their hijab.  But we can observe that more and more women are breaking the rules of the regime, and that is a clear sign that the regime is losing their iron-grip on the Iranian people.

women oppression by moral police in Iran

During the presidential campaign for this year's sham election, the youth was out on the streets protesting with slogans like «no to the charlatan» and «no to the imposter» referring to the candidates of the presidential (S)election. The answer from the regime was an increase in executions, arbitrary arrests, and unfair imprisonments.

The culprits from the 1988 massacre and why it is important that they are prosecuted.

As Rouhani starts his second term he has made some changes in his government, but it is not for the better, he just replaced an executioner with another. Alireza Avaie is replacing Mostafa Pourmohammadi who was one of the three members of the death commission responsible for the 1988 massacre.

The homepage of The 1988 Massacre in Iran site 

 Rouhanis new minister of justice, Alireza Avaie, was directly involved in the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran’s Khuzestan province. It has been proven Avaie’s involvement in the 1988 massacre in Younesco prison in the city of Dezful in the south west of Iran. Avaie served as Dezful’s prosecutor from 1979 to 1988. during the horrific massacre in 1988, he was serving as the revolutionary court prosecutor. Avaie was in fact sanctioned by the European Union in October 2011 for his role in human rights violations and direct participation of torturing and massacring political prisoners.

After the revelations of Pourmohammadi’s involvement in the 1988 massacre, it became impossible for Rouhani to keep

Rouhani's second term means increasing suppression and executions

05 August 2017
By Zohair Ahmad

As Rouhani starts his second term as the President of Iran the suppression and executions are increasing. The notion that Rouhani is a moderate is proven to be false. So far in 2017, 101 people have been executed. Under Rouhanis tenure 80 women have been executed.  If we compare that with the former President, Ahmadinejad almost 900 people were executed under his tenure, during Rouhanis tenure so far, more than 3000 people have been executed.

Rouhani second term as president started by 103 Execution

The regime has become more and more isolated since prominent politicians in EU are asking for justice for the victims of the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran. And the list of collaborators with the dictators in Tehran is getting shorter by the minute, it is therefore very important for the regime to appear as moderates who value human rights and that the regimes most important work are the well-being of the people of Iran. 

The fact that the head of EU foreign policy, Federica Mogherini is in Tehran to legitimize Rouhanis presidency show the length some politicians are willing to go for profit. It seems like the money rule. 

After the sham election, everybody thought that the executions in Iran would decrease but they have in fact increased. And the youth of Iran is openly showing their discontent with the clerical regime. The result of this is more abuse, arbitrary arrests, torture, and executions, but what more can you expect from the man that suggested public executions in the first place, Rouhani. Yes, that came from Rouhani, he also was in a key position during the horrific massacre of political prisoners in 1988.

Moughrini never speak about human right violations in Iran

It is also under Rouhani that the suppression of women has increased, the mandatory hijab law has been intensified and new laws against women has been ratified under Rouhani. So I have a question to Federica Mogherini, «how can you literally go down on your knees for a regime that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of political prisoners?»

«How do you justify your visit, wearing a hijab in a country where women have no rights at all?» it has become quite clear that Mogherini just follows the money and she shows no regards for the loss of innocent human lives.  The disregard of human lives is something she has in common with the dictatorial, clerical mullahs in Tehran. 

  

Iranian people say no to sham election

There are no surprises after the sham elections In Iran on 19 may. Rouhani is now laughing behind our backs, there was no doubt who was going to win the (S)election. Mrs. Rajavi told us that the re-election of Rouhani only deepens the rift within the regime and that it intensifies the mullah’s crisis and power struggle. She also added that Khamenei’s failure to manipulate the Iran Election outcome, make the regime unable to confront dangerous crises, and that signals the regime’s terminal phase.  The crisis in the religious fascist regime has increased and will continue to do so until its downfall. Mrs. Rajavi added that Rouhani neither wants nor is able to alter regime’s foundation and behavior.

The Iranian youth are using any means necessary to show their discontent with the regime.

The regime knows that the battle is lost and cut the internet in an attempt to silence the Iranian protesters, that was futile, Iranian boys and girls can not be silenced anymore, they are fed up with the regime and are willing to sacrifice their lives for a free Iran. 

The Iranian people want NCRI at the helm of Iran and are openly telling the regime that they are not wanted in Iran, all Iranian youth wish the mullahs to hell. The Iranian youth knows that all the lies from the mullahs about MEK/PMOI are untrue, and they are showing their support to NCRI and Maryam Rajavi by telling that they chose regime change and that they want Rajavi as president. 

If our goal is to save Iran and Iranian economy and environment, and people, the mullahs must go because, if we do not remove the mullahs they will slowly kill both the Iranian people and nature. The mullahs are exploiting the environment so that they can fill their pockets with dollars and build million dollar homes.  All the while poor Iranians are living in graves. Under Rouhani’s rule, there has been an increase of suicide amongst young girls, this is because of all the prohibitions that are put upon them by the mullahs. The NCRI are the only opposition that has the strength to topple the mullahs, they are the only option to rule because they have the skills that are needed to pull Iran back on her feet. Maryam Rajavi is the only option as president that are not in the pocket of the mullahs. 
The ten point plan of the NCRI is the best solution for Iran, there is no other option that can take over after the mullahs are gone. The NCRI is a determent to abolish the death penalty, under Rouhani, 3000 people have been executed.  the regime is harassing people with a different religion than shite Islam, the NCRI is firm on the subject that all religions are equal. 

The outcome of the Iranian sham election makes no difference

The outcome of the Iranian sham election makes no difference for ordinary people, but if you look at the candidates it is most likely that Rouhani, Raisi or Qalibaf will win. Jahangir will most likely drop out in favor of Rouhani. The two other candidates Mirsalim and Hashemitaba do not have a chance at winning.

Uprising a Fear of Iranian Regime as Elections Draw Near

The MEK has put up posters around Tehran and most people do not wish to vote for any of the candidates they want a democratic election. But everyone knows that as long as the clerics rule Iran there will never e a democratic election.  

 The disagreements about the candidates have split the Khamenei faction into 4 camps:
1.Avoid participation who was the supporters of Ahmadinejad
2.The suppressive forces, JAMNA who supports Raisi and Qalibaf 
3.Motalefeh who supports Mirsalim 
4.Fundamentalists who support Rouhani
Both Rouhani and Jahangir asked for Khamenei’s permission in February 2017 and Rouhani stated that if Khamenei had someone else in mind he would drop out. 
JAMNA was created several months ago with the aim of creating unity among various Khamenei factions to support a single presidential candidate.  The leaders of this faction are Nateq Nouri, Ali Larijani, Ali Motahari and a number of struggling clerics and clergy in Qom.

Our selection:Maryam Rajavi

The JAMNA coalition wants Raisi to become the next president, Khamenei approved his candidacy in March 2017. Qalibaf had initiated his campaign a year before the election. Qalibaf refused to register as a candidate after the IRGC and Khamenei supported Raisi. Khamenei’s office asked him to register so that he could appear in presidential debates and to make revelations against Rouhani. At the same time, he would portray Raisi as a non-partisan actor. Qalibaf should opt out in favor of Raisi. Qalibaf is registered as an opponent to Rouhani so Jahangiri registered as a candidate to support Rouhani. 

Khamenei has staged this to make it appear as if there are real competition in the election. He wants a large voter turnout in order to fool the international community into believing that the regime enjoys popular legitimacy. Khamenei also invites foreign reporters to specific polling stations where the regime's supporters and agents line up to make it look like all Iranians are voting. The regime is also preventing the reporters from browsing other polling stations. Domestic reporters will face threats and intimidation while covering other stations. 
The IRGC has created fake identification cards and is also using the ID cards of deceased people to vote. Another trick the regime are using is that of increasing the votes for each candidate four or five fold to show a higher voter turnout. 
The truth of this election is that there will be no change no matter which candidate becomes president. All candidates are in fact approved by Khamenei and no one of them will become president if Khamenei disapproves.  The biggest fear for Khamenei is to experience an uprising like the one in 2009. This was a big scare for the regime and it showed the regime that they are not as popular as they think. People show their discontent with the regime in different protests around Iran. 

Dual citizens in jail in Iran as hostages

 The human rights violations in Iran are of grave character as we can read heartbreaking stories of innocent civilian citizens that are being imprisoned from 5 to18 years on bogus charges. I will tell you some of their stories.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

Robin (Reza) Shahini: On October 15, 2016, Shahini was sentenced to18 years in prison for acting against national security, participating in protest gatherings in 2009, collaborating with Voice ofAmerica (VOA) television and insulting the sacred on Facebook by the Revolutionary Court in Gorgan.

Iran:All thing about sham presidential election with 12 questions

1. Why is the mullahs’ presidential "election" that is scheduled to be held on May 19 important?

There are three factors that are important for Khamenei when it comes to selecting the new president, first is the internal factor, the fear of an uprising like 2009, and the wish to prevent a similar event. The second factor is international, will they back of and accept all terms or stand up and risk confrontation. The third is the problem of succession in the supreme leadership.2. What is the election process and who can run?
The election in Iran is nothing like the democratic elections we know, the guardian council has to approve every candidate.

Iranian presidential sham election is boycotted

As the Iranian presidential election is getting closer, let’s take a look at it. The election is scheduled to be held May 19th. It is not really an election, it is more like an announcement of who the mullahs have chosen to become the next president. It has happened this way for many years, that is why the resistance and the Iranian public have boycotted the sham elections since June 20, 1981.
  

Iranian presidential election

 The sham was exposed to the whole world at the re-election of Ahmedinejad, in some provinces there were more votes than voters, in some of them, there was 110% voting rate.
 The sham was exposed but it did not make the mullahs change their ways. The voting sham leads to the uprising of 2009 where many young protesters were murdered by the IRGC in the streets of Tehran. 
The Iranian people no longer believe in the lie that their votes matter. This strikes so much fear in the clerics that they have forbidden any election protests.

Sale of body parts alarmingly high in Iran

As we have seen all over the media, the poverty in Iran is alarmingly high and it is getting higher by the minute. The people of Iran are starving and as a last resort, they are selling different body parts to provide for their family. The sellers are getting younger and are at this point not only selling kidneys anymore, one man, 34 years old was willing to sell his eyeball because that was the only thing he had to sell, he had already sold one kidney but the money was used to provide for 3 children and he was an illiterate and out of a job. For him, there was no other way.
 

selling body parts in Iran

This is unfortunately not uncommon in Iran today, but the advertising has changed. From anonymous notes on a wall to adverts on the internet. and the amount of “adverts” are increasing, they are not small anonymous pieces of paper on a wall, but large signs to be seen everywhere. And due to the amount of body parts for sale people feel the need to advert their body parts for sale with a discount. 
 

Signs-proposing-to-sell-kidney-with-blood-type-AB

 
The mullahs regime have no restrictions on the use of implants taken from living donors but are in fact using it as a tool to embezzle the deprived people of Iran. A large number of websites and blogs launched for this very cause are actually encouraging this vicious and devious trade. 70% of all kidney implants in Iran comes from living donors, the normal rate in the rest of the world are 15%. And Iranians are selling what they can to provide for their family, such as “liver for sale, O-,  23 years old”, “Bone marrow for sale, B-, 54 years old”.
 This is the very disturbing trend when we clearly see that Iran is a wealthy country and should, on paper, have no problem with helping those in need. The only obstacle for the ruling mullahs, instead of spending the Iranian wealth on the people they are using it to spread terror in the whole Middle east region, especially in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen, in an effort to maintain this repulsive regime in power at any cost.  And the rest of Iran’s wealth are going into the pocket of the mullahs. The only solution to this alarming development is a regime change, the mullahs must be replaced with a government that has the people's best interests in mind, a government that are willing to spend money on the poor and the needy, and that is willing to end all foreign wars that will release enough money to save the people of Iran from starvation. 

The meaning of isolation of Iran in region

In recent days the relations between the Iranian regime and other countries has become difficult, to say the least. The regime is blamed for the destabilization of the whole Middle-east region. The Swedish government has proposed a resolution at the UN human rights council against the Iranian regime for violating Human rights. But this is not what concerns the regime most at this point, their greatest concern is the grooving unrest within the borders of Iran.In the last 3 days, people are gathering in larger numbers in front of the parliament and Tehran’s City Hall,  to protest the lack of job security, wage rights, and Job insurance.  this is a sign of the time shift occurring in Iran in these days.
