Iran’s Execution Machine Is Running at Full Speed

  By Struan Stevenson As diplomats debate ceasefires, nuclear agreements and regional security, another crisis is unfolding inside Iran with alarming speed. While global attention remains fixed on war and negotiations, the clerical regime has launched one of its most extensive campaigns of political executions and repression in recent memory. Young protesters, political activists, students and opposition supporters are being sent to the gallows while much of the democratic world remains distracted. The surge in executions should be a matter of grave concern for every civilized nation. Instead, silence prevails as governments hold their breath, waiting for the latest twist in Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again peace initiative and hopes of an end to conflict involving Iran.

MEK units call for Iran's election boycott





The internal network of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) organized a vast campaign across Iran calling for the boycott of the regime’s election sham.

The Iranian regime approaches the 2021 Presidential Election in June. For 42 years, Iranian authorities deceived society by putting up a show of “reformists versus hardliners.” However, in recent years, Iranian citizens have clearly announced that they see no distinction between these supposedly rivaling factions. In various anti-regime rallies and protests people frequently chant “Reformists, hardliners, the game is over.”

The country is facing a disastrous economic crisis, high inflation, skyrocketing prices, and widespread poverty. Public anger towards the regime and its officials is growing every day. Moreover, since 2018 Iran witnessed five nationwide uprisings which the biggest was the November 2019 uprising, which was suppressed in the bloodiest way. More than 1500 young protesters were gunned down in the street by the suppressive forces.

Therefore, in recent days, the MEK’s network inside Iran, known as the Resistance Units, has organized a widespread campaign across the country that called for an all-out boycott of the regime’s presidential election sham. 

In Tehran and Isfahan, the members of the Resistance Units installed huge banners of Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) with the slogans, “The election boycott is a response to the killing of 1500 martyrs in November 2019” and “The Iranian people’s nationwide boycott is yet another response to the murderers of 1500 blood-drenched martyrs of November 2019.”
