In fact, the mullahs are nothing but an occupying force taking advantage of the Iranian people, the country’s economy, culture, educational system, civilization, history, and geography. This regime also denies all social crises and associates such issues with foreign elements or places the blame on the Iranian people themselves. On July 1, 2017, the Fars news agency, known to be directly affiliated to the Revolutionary Guards ( IRGC ), published a report titled, “Children facing the threat of being leased or having their body parts smuggled / Children being butchered in the shadows of weak laws.” The piece specifically cites Fatemeh Daneshvar, a member of the Tehran city council saying, “In many cases children simply ...

Mehdi Farahi Shandiz and Mohammad Riazat,  MEK  supporters who protested the lack of facilities and warm water in the central prison of Karaj, were relocated to solitary confinement the day after their hunger strike began, according to the Campaign in Defense of Political and Civil Prisoners. Riazat was arrested following the widespread anti-regime protests organized by the MEK last August before being temporarily released on bail. He was then sentenced to three years in jail on charges of “insulting the Founder and Supreme Leader” and “propaganda against the regime” by Judge Mehdi Zeinali of the criminal revolutionary court.

Iran: Massive Theft in Medical Health Care and Pharmaceutical System, Main Source of Medicine Crisis in Iran Written by  Mohammad Sadat Khansari  on  23 October 2019 .

This represents the violation of the fundamental human right of medical access. GENERAL STATE OF MEDICINE- ASSESSMENT...
