Iran: “sensible” security threats make “insensible” patrols a necessity



The atrocity of thousands of spies and repressive agents dispatched by the mullahs’ regime in Iran under the pretext of ‘insensible’ patrols, used to impose a climate of fear and crackdown, has reached such an embarrassing height that senior Iranian regime officials are pointing fingers and blaming each other for its dire consequences. As this plan was announced by Tehran police chief Sajedinia, Iran’s judiciary chief came to the scene saying,”Mal-veiling and having no hijab at all is considered a crime.

Iran: Shocking suicide of 15-year-old girl in Tabriz


On Saturday, April 9th a young 15-year-old girl from the city of Tabriz, northwest Iran, threw herself off the 10th level of a building. She died on the spot.
The motive behind this young girl’s suicide remains unknown. Images of this young woman before and after her suicide raised waves of anger against the mullahs on the Internet.

Unfortunately, suicides are becoming a daily issue in Iran under the mullahs’ rule. Social and economic pressures, unemployment, skyrocketing prices, corruption, drug addiction and social distress, pressures imposed by the repressive police and their meddling in all aspects of people’s daily lives has led to increasing suicide numbers across the country.

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.

Iran’s Discrimination Against Baha’is



Rouhie Safajoo, a student banned from Iranian universities because of her Baha’i faith and arrested for her online activism, was released on March 27, 2016 on 500 million rials (about $16,500 USD) bail, nearly three weeks after her arrest.
“We are very happy Rouhie is free,” her sister, Maryam Safajoo, told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. “But the real story is that for the past 37 years [since Iran’s 1979 revolution], Baha’i students have been denied the right to attend university.”

Iran: youth Real Vote, Enthusiastic Practice of Fire Festival




Many years ago, back in third grade I read a short story titled “The Last Lesson” from a story collection titled “Last Monday” by a French Author who I do not recall the name. Whole book is about the author’s first hand experience living under Nazis role during the German invasion of France as a kid. “The Last Lesson” describes in details the last French class before the enforcement of Nazi law of ban on teaching French in French schools. This young man described with honesty and in moving words, his emotions, his sorrow and his chagrin for not being able to freely use his mother tongue and praise his national culture. After close to four decades I can still remember how I was affected and cried as I was reading the story.

Iran: marriages of the girls under 10 years of age




Deputy to President Rouhani:
“There are many marriages of the girls under 10 years of age”
 Speaking to Iran’s ISNA state news agency, Molaverdi, President Rouhani’s deputy for women, confessed, “There is a worrying number of girls who have got married before getting to their legal age. We have even seen girls ‘marriage before they become 10”.
This example simply demonstrations the Mullahs mentality to the women rights.
