  By Sadegh Pashm-Foroush The day after the announcement of the results of Iran’s sham presidential election, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei summoned the remaining members of the government of former regime president Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19. In his remarks to them—indirectly addressing new regime president Massoud Pezeshkian—he warned him and reminded him of the “model” of the president in the regime. The supreme leader repeatedly mentioned Raisi and said, “He is truly a model; we must all learn from him.” He then reiterated the concept of “heartfelt belief and practical commitment” to the regime, which Pezeshkian, like all the election candidates, had committed to. Khamenei stated, “Dear Raisi demonstrated as a model that one can possess these mental, heartfelt, and practical qualities as the president of a country and follow them in practice.” Of course, before the sham election, Pezeshkian repeatedly stated that he would continue Raisi...

Free Iran 2024 Summit calls for accountability for the human rights abuses of mullahs’ regime

By Matin Karim

The third day of the Free Iran 2024 World Summit, titled “Crimes Against Humanity and Accountability for Perpetrators,” held featured a series of speeches by prominent international figures with a focus on the Iranian regime’s human rights abuses, especially against dissidents and political opponents.

They expressed strong support for the Iranian resistance movement, highlighting the regime’s human rights abuses and advocating for global recognition and backing of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) led by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. Speakers emphasized the necessity of justice, accountability, and international pressure to end the regime’s oppressive practices and pave the way for a free, democratic, and non-nuclear Iran.

In her keynote speech, Mrs. Rajavi commemorated the martyrs of the struggle for freedom and those who continue to fight.

“Iran holds a contemporary world record in many forms of repression, including the imprisonment and torture of at least 500,000 people for political reasons and the execution of more than 100,000 political prisoners,” Mrs. Rajavi said. “Iran also has one of the highest numbers of executions each year. Last year, three-quarters of the executions recorded globally took place in Iran.”

Mrs. Rajavi warned that the absence of any international accountability for these crimes has emboldened the mullahs to shed blood without hesitation throughout the past four decades.

Iran's Morality Police in New Crackdown on Women

-

  By Struan Stevenson Having learned no lessons from the nationwide uprising that exploded last September following the brutal killing in custody of the young Kurdish girl Mahsa Amini, the Iranian regime’s misogynist morality police are on the move again. Last week, the Tehran Criminal Court sentenced a woman to two months in prison for hijab violations. The judge, Ali Omidi, accused her of “anti-Iranian behavior.” In a more sinister outburst, he also ordered that she should be subjected to compulsory health checks, as her failure to wear the hijab was a clear display of “disease” symptoms that “must be treated.” Such claims are frighteningly reminiscent of judgements in the former Soviet Union, where people who were considered anti-communist were deemed to be insane and were sent for electric shock treatment in psychiatric hospitals.The morality police tracked her down using images from a ‘smart’ CCTV camera. Similar cameras have been installed in public places in towns and cities...

Why Did Iran Regime’s Parliament Hastily Approve the Internet Protection Bill?

-

  Written by   Mehdi Oghbai After months of flip-flop about adopting the so-called “internet protection bill,” the Iranian regime’s parliament hastily approved the generalities of the bill. Unlike its name, this bill will not protect millions of Iranians using the internet and social media platforms but further restricts their individual freedoms. Social media platforms such as Instagram are not just a placeholder of glossy images for millions of Iranians. They use these platforms to earn a living amid the country’s grim economic situation. Iran’s internet speed has significantly slowed down in the last month. Regime officials, fearing a public backlash, denied having approved and implemented the internet protection bill. Yet, the state-run Hamdeli daily on February 22 hinted that “this situation is signal of silent implementation of internet protection bill before its approval.” In an  exclusive report  about this bill on January 17, the Iranian Resistance wrote: “T...

While the country  ranked 12th in the world  last year in terms of electricity generation, people struggle with  frequent  and unannounced blackouts in the heat of summer. The situation has shocked even the ruling regime with cries of “Death to Khamenei” in the east of Tehran following the power outage on July 3rd .   The outgoing Minister of  Energy Ardakanian  of Hassan Rouhani’s government said that the power outage was due to the premature warming of the air and the decrease in rainfall .   Mohammad Hassan  Motavilizadeh, CEO of Tavanir , on April 23 said that  the reduction in the volume of water in dam reservoirs, which reduces the production of hydropower by 40%, as an essential factor in electricity shortages .   Meanwhile, the former  Minister of Energy , w...
