Iran’s Execution Machine Is Running at Full Speed

-
Image
  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. Meanwhile, Tehran’s rulers are using the cover of international distraction to intensify their campaign of terror against their own people. Between March and early June alone, at least 32 political prisoners were...

  By   Shamsi Saadati In November 2019, Iran went through the most significant outpouring of popular unrest in decades. The  uprising  was sparked by the announcement of sharp increases in the government-set price of gasoline, but it quickly became an outlet for the revival of previously established demands for regime change. The regime has resorted to brute repression, killing at least 1500 protesters and arresting thousands more. It also shut down Iran’s internet completely for a week, blocking images of the protests from reaching the outside world. Dozens of officials and state media outlets in Iran blamed the main Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ( PMOI/MEK ) for leading the protests through small teams of “ Resistance Units .” On November 10, 2020, coinciding with the anniversary of the November 2019 uprising and the holding of  online conferences  in this regard in more than 2400 locations around the world, members of th...

  For the second week running, on the eve of the anniversary of the November 2019 uprising, Resistance Units and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ( PMOI / MEK ) distributed pictures of the martyrs of the uprising along with wall writing, calling for the continuation of the uprising. They also posted messages of Mrs.  Maryam Rajavi , the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ), and Mr.  Massoud Rajavi , the Leader of the Iranian Resistance. These activities which took place in different parts of many Iranian cities were carried out despite the widespread presences of security forces and an atmosphere of terror and intimidation. Some of the slogans in these activities, which occurred in Tehran, and several other cities, including Shiraz, Karaj, Roudenhen, Masjed Solayman, and Behbahan, were as follows: November 15 is a national and everlasting day in the annals of Iran’s history; Maryam Rajavi: Khamenei and Rouhani mus...

By Sedighe Shahrokhi “October saw the State Security Force’s violent approach towards Iranian citizens, even torturing them in public,” wrote Iran Human Rights Monitor (Iran HRM) in its monthly report of October on the ongoing human rights abuses in Iran. On the eve of the anniversary of the  nationwide Iran protests  in November 2019, which rattled the regime’s foundations, the regime has increased its oppressive measures to quell the restive society. “This comes in tandem with the clerical regime’s expansion of its repressive plans to contain increasing social discontent, particularly on the eve of the anniversary of the protests in November 2019,” wrote  Iran HRM  in this regard. Videos of Mehrdad Sepehri, a young man in Mashhad in northeast Iran, being pepper-sprayed to death shocked the world. “On October 18, SSF forces tied a young man, Mehrdad Sepehri, to a pole in a street in Hojjat Township in Mashhad. They tortured him right there in the street using s...

The protests lasted for about a week and spread to over 190 cities in all 31 provinces of Iran. The  November 2019 uprising  was unprecedented in the past 40 years, particularly due to its breadth, rapid pace, organization, the bravery of protesters, and their willingness to risk their lives.
