The wife of an Iranian political prisoner has been arrested by security forces and taken to an unknown location. On July 23, agents from Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS)  raided  the house of political prisoner Abolghassem Fouladvand, despite not having a warrant or due cause, and arrested his wife Zahra Akbari-Nejad Dorcheh. Two days later Akbari-Nejad Dorcheh was allowed to make a brief, controlled telephone call to her relatives, during which she said she was being held in Ward 4 of Evin Prison. Akbari-Nejad Dorcheh, 49, suffers from a number of illnesses, including heart disease, and is currently receiving treatment for convulsions, so her family is desperate to have her back where they can be assured of her health status.

Iranian regime official admits extrajudicial executions of opponents July 30, 2019 Ali Razini, a judiciary official admitted on July 29, 2019, that extrajudicial executions in summer 1988 were carried out on Khomeini’s emphatic order “without being held up by red tape.” Deputy of Legal Affairs and Judicial Development of the Judiciary,  Ali Razini  considered the trials that led to the extrajudicial executions of thousands of political prisoners as one of Khomeini’s last major decisions. Speaking to Jamaran, a website close to the family of Khomeini, Razini examined the circumstances that led to the issuance of the decree. He also explained how the executions had benefited the regime.

Below are excerpts of her message, in which she commemorated the memory of those “freedom-lovers who said no to tyranny and kissed the noose.” There are some unforgettable chapters in history that will never be erased from our memories, such as the summer of 1988 when the blood of the most beloved and talented young people of our country was shed to strengthen an idea. Those freedom-lovers who kissed the noose and continued their journey with smiles on their faces; those relentless souls who were executed for defying the darkness and defending their beliefs.  Those days, no one realized what happened to those freedom-loving youth in the regime’s prisons;...

by  Jolie Kavar Gohardasht Prison carries out executions, at least 30 in August. One  Human Rights  organization summed it up as ‘one execution every day.’ The  No to execution and prison organization  reminds that Iran holds the highest number of executions. This is compared to the number of citizens it executes compared to other countries in the world.

For what sin was she killed?

Image
by Bahar Mehr  These days, with some news of the suicide, I wanted to make the last moments with my incomplete understanding as a narrative that I had written a long time ago and today I rewrote it . Iran, under the rule of the mullahs have become a large prison, a prisoner who, if you do not think about it, is the only way to save it from suicide, which is what the mullahs want to kill their own people . I tried to link the social problems without mentioning the mullahs, but they were completely well-grounded in the story of the mullahs, by exposing these hidden crimes, the depth of the disaster in Iran is better seen . The short news was spread everywhere. A girl over the bridge of the week. The peddler looked up: This girl wants to match what? A taxi driver pulled out and looked at her and said to himself, much to my daughter looks like, does not that...? One boy ran across the street and said: Hey! What are you doing, girl? but at t...
