Iran: acceptable women’s unveiling

 Suppressive forces attack protesting Iranian women

Khamenei’s representative:

 "Graft and theft are more acceptable than women’s unveiling"

Mullahs in Iran are experts in graft and financial fraud as the news about theft and extortion by Iranian officials come out once every few days. Alamolhoda, Khamenei’s representative in the north eastern province of Khorassan wrote in his Instagram, on Friday April 8^th, that extortion and plunder of people’s wealth is much better than unveiling.

“Anybody who steals from people or makes unlawful speeches that sin refers only to himself, but a woman showing her   hair forces others to commit sin”. Wrote Alamolhoda.

Iran is dispatching IRGC Forces to Syria

Khamenei is extremely fearful that following the relative cessation of hostilities pursuant to an agreement between the United States and Russia and a halt or significant decline of bombings in areas under the opposition control, the situation would return to prior to September 2015 where Assad's army and the IRGC were fleeing FSA forces.....

Iran MP sheds light on notorious detention center southeast of Tehran

Kazem Jalali, a member of Iran’s so-called parliament, said in a recent interview that youths arrested during the 2009 protests were transferred to the Kahrizak detention center.

This site was where many youths were tortured and raped.

“The mere transfer of people’s children to Kahrizak was wrong and a completely inappropriate decision,” Jalali said.

“At that time we were told there was no room in Evin Prison! However, when we went to Evin Prison at that time we saw in fact that Evin had plenty of room and we referred to this matter in our report. There were many such cases at that time.” (State asriran.com – March 31, 2016)

Iran: Let’s do something for our cities’ environments!

We will be expecting you

The city of Tehran is considered one of the most polluted cities in the world, and most reports from inside the regime have described conditions in this city as many times more difficult than tolerable norms.

In this regard a group of environment activists in Tehran made a call to hold their April 1^st gathering in Baharestan Square:

On April 1^st we will gather at Baharestan Square in a rally for the environment. We will be in reconciliation with our trees, the jungles and all the greens.

We hope for more secure cities, with less smoke and trash. We hope for an Iran full of children laughing.

We have chosen Baharestan Square, with the name of spring (Bahar in Persian), the name of life being reborn. Let’s hope a bill will be adopted in support of the greens in the most important building of this square.

We will be expecting you

Iran’s post “Elections”

The ongoing power struggle has made the whole system weaker.

It may be argued that “elections” is a word found in democratic systems that use “power struggle” to choose a new government. So what the heck is all the dust up when Mullahs, with all their “bad habits”, are forced to experience this democratic process? Let’s welcome and have business with Iran’s new moderate government.

A resonating voice heaps on us in the air, “Shush!” says the Iranian populace. If Mullahs were to respect “elections”, they would not have to disguise themselves as “Muslims”.

Iran: mullahs’ misogynist ideology promoted in public

“A woman is not a vase that may break, don’t be afraid to hit it.”

“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.
