Iran View

  On Tuesday, the Iranian regime’s president,  Ebrahim Raisi , made his international debut by delivering a virulent virtual speech to the United Nations General Assembly. He characterized US sanctions on the regime, which were instated for its nuclear adventurism, as “oppressive.” And, he opined that “the United States’ hegemonic system has no credibility.” Such remarks carry no serious weight, obviously. But they do demonstrate an emboldened attitude on the part of Tehran after the West’s, and particularly Europe’s, failure to adopt a decisive policy vis-à-vis Tehran’s rogue behavior. The Iranian people frequently ridicule the mullahs for their unmatched shamelessness and outrageous remarks. At no point was this impudence clearer than when Raisi claimed that the US sanctions against the theocracy were “crimes against humanity.” That is certainly rich coming from a figure lambasted by the Iranian people and global human rights organizations as a crime against humanity for his...

  Mashhad Vakil Abad Prison, is where inmates are doomed to gradually die under unbearable conditions. Human rights center of “No to Prison- No to Execution” reported on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, that according to credible reports received from Mashahd Vakil Abad Prison, the conditions there are disastrous. According to reliable reports from Vakil Abad Prison in Mashhad, the condition of this prison is catastrophic. The food quality is so bad that prisoners, despite starvation, discard the food that the prison gives because it is not edible. Fruits are also out of reach. A kilo of watermelon is sold for 50,000 tomans and one kilo of apples equivalents to 45,000 tomans. Prisoners cannot afford to buy any fruit in a month. Health care is also much worse. Prison guards do not provide prisoners with even minimum sanitary facilities though the coronavirus is particularly rampant in Mashhad, so the prisoners are forced to use water and dish washing liquid to disinfect their wards and o...

The human rights center of “No to Prison- No to Execution, reported on September 7, 2021, quoting an informed source: After exposing the brutality against prisoners in Evin Prison, a delegation of inspectors went to Arak prison as a show.

 Written by Amir Taghati Last week, Iran Human Rights Monitor reported that about the rising trend of executions in Iran. The recent confirmation of Ebrahim Raisi as the regime’s new president seems to have accelerated the trend. Raisi is notorious for his involvement at the highest level of the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in the  summer of 1988 . The overall execution rates bear out the expectation that Raisi’s ascension to the presidency would coincide with a surge in arrests and harsh legal punishments. Iran Human Rights Monitor recently affirmed that conclusion with its monthly report, referencing not only execution rates but also notable instances of politically motivated legal action, including humiliating parades of accused criminals which stand alongside the regime’s longstanding practice of public execution as a means of intimidating the population. IHRM noted that at least 26 individuals were executed in total in July. This implies that the overall tr...

La Présidente élue du Conseil national de la Résistance iranienne, Mme Maryam Radjavi, a exhorté le Secrétaire général de l'ONU, le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, le Conseil des droits de l'homme de l'ONU, le Haut-Commissaire des Nations Unies aux droits de l'homme et les organisations internationales de défense des droits de l'homme à prendre immédiatement des mesures pour empêcher le régime iranien de détruire systématiquement les tombes des victimes du massacre de 1988 en Iran et de supprimer les traces de ce massacre dans tout le pays, en particulier à Ahvaz. Alors que les efforts du régime clérical pour empêcher la croissance du mouvement de l'Appel à la justice ont échoué et qu'il n'a pas réussi à faire tomber dans l'oubli le massacre des prisonniers politiques iraniens, les mollahs au pouvoir tentent désespérément d'effacer les traces de ce massacre dans le but d'échapper aux conséquences de ce génocide et de ce grand crime c...

Les parlementaires et personnalités politiques de plusieurs pays européens ont apporté leur soutien au grand rassemblement de la résistance iranienne le 30 juin prochain à Villepinte pour le changement démocratique en Iran. Les Iraniens aspirent à la démocratie, à la justice, à l’égalité des femmes, à la fin de la ségrégation et des interdictions multiples dont elles sont victimes, la fin des discriminations contre les minorités ethniques et religieuses. Les Iraniens espèrent dans une république fondée sur la séparation de la religion et de l’Etat et l’abolition de la peine de mort.

Un Iran où toutes et tous auront l’égalité des chances en matière d’emploi et seront couvert par un système de protection sociale efficace. Un Iran qui vivra en paix avec les pays de la région et qui n’exportera plus de guerres ni d’i...
