  By: Reza Hoseani Abstract Although the US election is ostensibly a domestic event in the United States, it directly affects the regional balance, the internal equations of the clerical regime, and ultimately the fate of the Iranian people’s uprising.

Call for Urgent Action To save political prisoner Ramin Hossein Panahi from execution


The henchmen of the Iranian regime have transferred 24-year-old political prisoner Ramin Hossein Panahi to the prison quarantine in Sanandaj for execution.
