In the Memory of 30,000 Fallen Roses The Anniversary of the 1988 Massacre in Iran

28 years have gone since the horrific and brutal massacre of political prisoners that was carried out in just one short summer by the criminal mullahs ruling Iran.
In the summer of 1988, the clerical regime summarily and extra-judicially executed about 30,000 political prisoners held in jails across the country. This heinous massacre was carried out upon a fatwa by the Islamic regime founder, Ruhollah Khomeini.
There are strong indications that Khomeini’s fatwa was issued on July 26, 1988.
The Iranian regime has never acknowledged these executions, or provided any information as to how so many prisoners were killed in a matter of just a few months.
The majority of those executed were either serving prison sentences for their political activities or had already finished their sentences but their time in jail was extended.




Some of them had previously been imprisoned and released, but were re-arrested and executed as part of this heinous massacre.
The wave of executions of political prisoners began in late July and continued unabated for several months.
By the time it ended in the early autumn of 1988, some 30,000 political prisoners, the overwhelming majority activists of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), were slaughtered.

Iranian people’s demand for freedom is heard all over the world

Robert G. Joseph, former undersecretary for arms control at the State Department

US Undersecretary for arms control, Robert Joseph addressed the grand gathering of the Iranian supporters of the NCRI and said: “The intensity that I feel from this massive gathering of freedom fighters is overwhelming, as is your demand for freedom. As Madame Rajavi has pointed out, and others have stated, it’s been a year since the nuclear accord was concluded and the regime of mullahs in Tehran is even more dangerous than before.
Have no doubt that the regime retains its option of having a nuclear weapon at the time of its choosing. It is using billions of dollars to support terrorism … to support the proxy wars in Yemen, in Lebanon, in Iraq and elsewhere. It’s also using that same funding to continue to brutalize the people of Iran and to deny them their freedom. The regime cannot reform, neither from within or from out; it must be overthrown by the people of Iran.
We must pressure the regime from all directions; retain and impose new sanctions for its ballistic missile activities and for its support of terrorism; stop all economic transactions with the IRGC related entities; counter Iran’s presence and its influence in the region economically, diplomatically, and when necessary, militarily; highlight Iran’s abysmal human rights practices. And most important, we must support those who seek to tear down this barbaric regime and in its place establish a democratic, secular and non-nuclear Iran. You, the Iranian Resistance, are the vehicle for this historic change. You are the future of Iran.”

Gingrich: Prince Turki al-Faisal appearance in the meeting of NCRI in Paris is 'like an earthquake

 Saudis on the side of the Free Iranians is a real step towards overthrowing the Iranian Mullahs

Iran has 'gone from bad to worse' under Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tells News max TV that he would advise any Republican president to tear up the nuclear agreement with Tehran on 'the first day' in the White House.
'I'd advise tearing it up the first day — and I'd advise establishing a policy to actively work covertly to overthrow the dictatorship,' Gingrich, 73, who was vetted last week as a possible vice presidential choice of Donald Trump, told 'Newsmax Prime' host J.D. Hayworth in an exclusive interview from Paris.
'We will never be safe in the Middle East as long as the Iranian dictatorship is in power.'
Gingrich, who was speaker from 1995 to 1999, was in Paris over the weekend for a meeting sponsored by the National Council for Resistance in Iran, which brought together dissidents, activists living in exile from Iran and other supporters from around the world.
'I've been involved since all the way back when I was in Congress, because I felt strongly that the Free Iran movement was being discriminated against by the U.S. State Department to appease the dictatorship in Tehran,' he told Hayworth.
Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal, a member of the royal family who has long slammed the Obama administration's policies in the Middle East, told about 100,000 delegates to the meeting that the Iranian government should be overthrown.

 

Gingrich described his appearance to Hayworth as 'like an earthquake.'
'To have the Saudis on the side of the Free Iranians is a real signal of how much the Saudis are afraid of the dictatorship and is a real step towards overthrowing the dictatorship,' he said. 'So, it’s an exciting day to be here.'

Iran’s cyber army – new intelligence confirms ongoing Global threat

briefing at the National Press Club in Washington

The deputy director of the Washington office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ), Alireza Jafarzadeh in an article published in ‘The Hill’ explained about the Iranian regime’s involvement in a series of cyber-attacks against the United States.
Mr. Jafarzadeh said that the U.S. Justice Department reported that Iran, by 2013, was behind a series of cyber-attacks that targeted a minimum of 46 companies and a dam. However, the latest intelligence about the scope and depth of the mullahs’ regime’s involvement in a cyber-war against the U.S. is “widening the anti-terror focus”.
Hackers linked to the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), between 2011 and 2013, are said to have attacked financial institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange and Bank of America, as well as other companies such as AT&T.
Another target was a flood-control dam 25 miles north of New York City.  Jafarzadeh explains that the hackers “broke into the command and control system of the dam in 2013” and would have been able to release water from behind the dam if it had not been for the fact that, at the time of intrusion, the sluice gate had been manually disconnected.
Jafarzadeh explains that this is an “unequivocal warning that the Iranian regime is preparing to mount a larger cyber-attack against American infrastructure”.
Recent reports from inside the Iranian regime indicate that the IRGC commander Mohammad-Ali Jafari is working to create a “Cyber Force” which will act as the “sixth force” of the IRGC (beside the ground forces, navy, aerospace, extraterritorial Qods (Jerusalem) Force and domestic Bassij militia).
IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Hamedani (killed during battle in Syria) said in 2010 that Bassij cyber council had trained over 1,500 people to become cyber jihadis. He also promised that their activities would increase.
President Obama once said that Iran has a desire to get “right with the world”. But the regime is still committed to pursuing a strategic war against the U.S. and its allies and Jafarzadeh warns that any “hopes of change in behaviour are illusory at best”.

Iran, Misogynies or Enslavement of women

 

one of the victims of Ayatollahs in Iran

Woman is not a vase that may break, don’t be afraid to hit her.”
“Good Woman, Dead Woman” This is an Iranian regime element who has written misogynist remarks on his vehicle promoting sexual discrimination in public.
It is worth noting that the so-called police of this regime showed no reaction in this regard, allowing such issues to be fanned day by day. Of course, the reason behind such measures is obvious for us. The mullahs’ regime itself is behind the misogyny phenomenon in Iran, acid attacks and beating women in public under various pretexts, including not abiding by strict clothing regulations. This social corruption has roots in the mullahs’ reactionary ideology.

Promoting sexual discrimination in Iran is not limited in bothering women and young girls. The mullahs’ suppressive measures mark Iranian women as main targets, denying them of their most basic rights.

A few months ago a young woman suffered major wounds in an acid attack taking place in Tehran Province.
As the young victim was transferred to a hospital it became obvious she had suffered major acid burns on her arm and face. Initial investigations show the man who splashed acid was riding a motorcycle and immediately fled the scene after the attack.

In Iran discrimination against women is not only legalized, but institutionalized. While women’s rights are violated in many countries, while women are suppressed in many Muslim countries under the “sharia law”, Iran remains unique as its crackdown is embedded in the constitution, and civil and administrative laws.

This is not yet the end of the sexual discrimination tragedy in Iran, Iran has executed over 1,000 people in 2015, according to the London-based human rights watchdog Amnesty International Arab News reported Friday 8 January 2016, And about 700 people in the first six months of 2015, an average of three people every day and the final execution count might top 1,000 by the end of the just concluded year,” according to the report.


At all gatherings the Iranians, men and women should spend a few moments talking about the ugly phenomenon of execution. Place ourselves in the shoes of those families who are concerned about their loved ones’ court rulings.
We should discuss the mass executions of previous decades.
We should remind ourselves and others that negligence to matters instigating violence in our society resembles enslavement of women and girls by Boko Haram militants in Nigeria. They commit their crimes by name of Allah as well as the Mullahs do in Iran

 

Let the street talk

abandoned children in Iran

As an Iranian human rights activist and poet, when I saw the picture of a baby in the internet, I decided to write this poem from the eyes of the street;
This is a case of a child abandoned a few year ago. A caricaturist drew this sketch, and metaphorically showed the sorrow of the street curb.

An abandoned new born baby was placed in a trash bag on April 4th and left in front of a hospital in the city of Mahshahr, Khuzestan Province, southern Iran.
Perhaps one would say the phenomenon of abandoned children is nothing new and happens every day in the four corners of the this cruel world. Poverty or even family problems are usually the main cause of this heartrending story.
Although poverty is also one of the main factors behind unwanted children in the mullahs' ruled Iran, but there is another frightening reason behind leaving the most vulnerable and innocent human life at the mercy of the chance in the winter cold or summer heat.
 According to the mullahs' Sharia laws any woman who has a baby before marriage, is subjected to either stoning or hanging. Seeing an unattended baby on the dark hours of night on the pavement of some street or alley would bring tears to one's eyes

The street who talks!

'Sleep my little child! 

Lay your head on my arms
Even though I can't protect you from harms
Now you can have a mother
Of course I can't be a good one for you
But it is several years now I have this job, and do
For kids like you

Sleep my Baby
Of course I can't be a good mother
For this drama
But I can understand you and your lost mama
I can understand her fate so dark and grey
Because I too am trampled and distressed every day
And feel cold during the nights
And witnessing misery and brutish under the lights
Sleep my Baby
In my arms, and die
Maybe tomorrow someone asks why
Then I shall tell to the world, your story
With my doleful cry
Sleep my Baby, and die

The Iranian government statistics show that in just one city, Isfahan, central Iran, a monthly average of 16 abandoned child  is registered. Isfahan's deputy manager of the Social Welfare Department said in an interview with Mehr News Agency that more than 96 newborns were found during first 6 mounts of 2014. 'In one city alone in 2009, 150 infants, 145 abandoned child.

Iran under the rulling Mullahs,horror & terrorism

 In a short glance to Iran under the rulling Mullahs, you may see 5 million Bachelor’s degree graduates out of work plus daily executions, poverty and meddling in other countries, in order to avoid a general revolt in the country. 
 What is our duty against this terible situation?

  Iran: 5 million Bachelor’s degree graduates out of work

 Chair of the so-called parliamentary planning, budget and Calculations commission in Iran shed some light on the scope of unemployment in Iran under the mullahs’ regime.
“Currently there are 5 million Bachelor’s degree students out of work in the country,” Gholamreza Tajgardoun said.
“If the current conditions of creating jobs continue in the country, in the next three years the number of unemployed college graduates will reach 8 million,” he added.

 Execution of two juvenile offenders

Reports have emerged of a second execution of a juvenile offender in Iran in just a few days Amnesty International said today, which reveal the full horror of the country’s deeply flawed juvenile justice system.
Fatemeh Salbehi, a 23-year-old woman, was hanged on Oct 13 for a crime she allegedly committed when she was 17, only a few days after another juvenile offender, Samad Zahabi, was hanged for a crime he also allegedly committed at 17.
Fatemeh Salbehi was hanged in Shiraz’s prison in Fars Province despite Iran being bound by an absolute international legal ban on juvenile executions, and severe flaws in her trial and appeal. She had been sentenced to death in May 2010 for the murder of her 30- year- old husband, Hamed Sadeghi, whom she had been forced to marry at the age of 16.
And beside these crimes against the Iranian people Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran reported in October 13, 2015

22 executions include a young woman and 3 public executions

 

  about 22 other executions

 

 

Face to face with the international community’s commemoration of “October 10th, the World Day Against the Death Penalty”, the Iranian regime criminally hanged 22. Seventeen of the convicts were hanged on October 12.
On Tuesday, October 13, regime’s henchmen hanged a young woman that was only 17 when arrested after she had languished seven years in Adelabad Prison of Shiraz. This cruel punishment was carried out despite calls by international human rights institutions to save her life.
In the morning of October 12, three prisoners were hanged in public in Kazeroon for “armed clash” with the military and security forces and “causing insecurity in Bushehr, as well as in Mamasani and Kazeroon counties” on the mullahs’ fabricated charge of “corruption on earth and enmity with God”.
On this same day, in another criminal act, eight prisoners were collectively hanged in Darya Prison in Urmia. Concurrently, six prisoners sentenced to death were hanged in Karaj Central Prison.
On October 10 and 11, four other prisoners were hanged in prisons in Rasht and Bandar Abbas. Mohsen Tima, a prisoner from Bandar Abbas who was arrested when 20 years old, was hanged on October 11 after suffering 15 years in regime’s medieval prisons.
While the noose of infightings inside the regime, growing social discontent, and domestic and international crises tightens around regime’s neck, this regime has found no escape but to ratchet up suppression and increase the barbaric and arbitrary executions to save itself from its certain downfall.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all international agencies to condemn these barbaric executions and urges that any rapprochement with the Iranian regime be made contingent on the improvement of human rights in Iran, particularly the cessation of the executions.
