(AFP) This article first published in ArabNews on 04 Aug 2019( http://www.arabnews.com/node/1535381 ) DR. MAJID RAFIZADEH To more efficiently shape policies toward the Islamic Republic, it is vital to pay attention to the voices of the Iranian diaspora residing outside Iran for several reasons. First of all, Iran has a sizable diaspora with over five million Iranians living abroad. Although most of the Iranian immigrants left Iran in 1979, a considerable amount of Iranians continued to leave Iran, reaching a peak in the early 1990s, and again more recently because of the sharp increase in the brain drain. Iran has reportedly the highest brain drain in the world, with approximately 150,000 educated individuals leaving the country every year....

Iranian Women Lead The Force For Change In Iran On  Aug 4, 2019 August 5, 1993, marks a milestone in the struggles of Iranian women, and the Iranian opposition, the PMOI/MEK which forms the backbone of the democratic alternative to the clerical regime, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). On this day, 24 women were unanimously voted to the PMOI’s all-female Leadership Council to hold the helms of affairs in the organization. Twelve years after the beginning of the Iranian Resistance when Iranian women remained steadfast despite enduring tremendous suffering and torture in their struggle for freedom and democracy; and four years after  Maryam Rajavi  became the PMOI’s Secretary-General in 1989, this long line of battle-tested women were recognized as best qualified to rise to the movement’s leadership. The landmark event drew a clear distinction between the Iranian opposition and its foe; the former striving for gender equality and women’s p...
