Iran: mullahs cast dark shadow over lives of deprived children




Very limited, yet vivid images of poverty and depravity in Iran, including its schools, reflect a tip of the iceberg of this horrific catastrophe. Schools in these areas are suffering from the lack of any teachers, no classrooms and other necessary supplies.
Images of elementary schools in Sistan & Baluchistan Province (southeast Iran) reveal how the regime’s senior officials are plundering the people of their God-given wealth. This regime, bent on plundering the Iranian people of all their assets, resorts to cementing a climate of fear through oppression, torture and daily executions.

International Labor Day in Iran, solidarity amongst all walks of life


International Labor Day
We are nearing May 1st, marking International Labor Day, and each day there are new calls from laborers to stage marches and protests against the ruling mullahs’ cruelty and oppression. In solidarity with laborers across Iran, college students condemned the cruelty and oppression imposed on Iran’s laborers and called for solidarity from all walks of life. This includes students of South Tehran Free University who issued a statement in this regard: “We, a group of students of Tehran Free University, congratulate our country’s dear workers on International Labor Day and condemn the cruelty and oppression imposed against you under the mullahs’ regime. We call on all international organizations and anyone across the globe that are active in labor affairs to take action to improve the conditions of laborers.”

Iran: When a street talks



Iran: abandoned children left in street

Poverty in Iran
An abandoned new born baby was placed in a trash bag on April 4th and left in front of a hospital in the city of Mahshahr, Khuzestan Province, southern Iran. 
Perhaps one would say the phenomenon of abandoned children is nothing new and happens every day in the four corners of the this cruel world. Poverty or even family problems are usually the main cause of this heartrending story.
Although poverty is also one of the main factors behind unwanted children in the mullahs’ ruled Iran, but there is another frightening reason behind leaving the most vulnerable and innocent human life at the mercy of the chance in the winter cold or summer heat.

It has unfortunately become quite ordinary to talk about the skyrocketing number of executions in Iran, and common knowledge states more than 2,300 people have been executed since Iranian President Hassan Rouhani took office in August 2013. As horrific as this is, there are crimes in Iran never seen or mentioned. One such subject is how the ruling mullahs sitting on the throne in Tehran are forcing people, and even juveniles, into suicide.......

May a day come that we get our New Year presents?




I’m the one in the middle
My father is unemployed and cannot afford buying me a present.
He would pay for my mother’s surgery if he had any money.

More than 3 million kids in Iran are out of school trying to make some money for the family.
