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...

El fin de semana un vocero de la judicatura iraní dijo que las fuerzas de seguridad confrontarán el malestar social que lleva meses manifestándose. En semanas recientes se siguen presentando protestas por temas laborales y legales. Camioneros y maestros son dos de los colectivos que han salido a las calles en protestas que se han sin duda disparado por la incertidumbre sobre el futuro tras las sanciones económicas que seguramente serán reimpuestas por Estados Unidos. Hace algunas semanas se informó que al menos dos individuos habían sido asesinados tras un incendio en una estación policial. A finales del año pasado un gran número de iraníes salió a protestar por la mala situación económica provocada por el mal manejo de los recursos y la corrupción encontrada a todos los niveles del régimen. Manifestaciones contra el gobierno se sucedieron y quedó claro lo amplio del descontento popular. Las autoridades iraníes intentaron reprimir al pueblo acudiendo a violencia física, arresto...

Con las crisis políticas, económicas y sociales creciendo día tras día en Irán, sigue manifestándose en la sociedad iraní un fenómeno al que los medios se refieren como “nivel reducido de tolerancia social”. “El nivel de tolerancia social en Irán ha caído durante los últimos años debido a diferentes razones y esto es una seria llamada de emergencia. Vemos a gente cada día mostrando reacciones duras y agresivas cuando se enfrentan a eventos insignificantes en los que sienten que se violan sus derechos. Hoy la vida urbana es muy diferente a como era antes, la gente tiene un nivel de presión económica mayor y soportan también otras restricciones sociales” (diario online estatal Salamatnews, 23 de mayo de 2017). No está demás decir que el término “nivel reducido de tolerancia social” quiere decir “odio popular y disgusto ante el régimen en su totalidad” y los medios y funcionarios lo llaman así para no poner las cosas como son, reduciendo la importancia de temas como la pésima gesti...

Tras dos semanas de retirarse del acuerdo nuclear, el Secretario de Estado Estados Unidos reconoció el levantamiento popular contra la dictadura religiosa patrocinadora del terrorismo y pidió un frente internacional contra el régimen iraní. El Secretario de Estado se refirió a los grandes fallos del acuerdo nuclear y el “dinero manchado de sangre” dado al régimen y a individuos como Qassem Soleimani, comandante de la Guardia Revolucionaria, recordando resoluciones del Consejo de Seguridad para reiterar que todo acuerdo con el régimen iraní debe incluir un freno al enriquecimiento nuclear, acceso desclasificado a todas las instalaciones nucleares, el fin de la proliferación de misiles balísticos y del desarrollo de sistemas de misiles capaces de transportar armas nucleares, el respeto por la soberanía de Irak, el desarme de las fuerzas satélites, la retirada de todas las fuerzas bajo comando iraní de Siria, el fin del lanzamiento de misiles y amenazas a sus vecinos y el fin del apo...

ncr-iran Appello firmato da 159 senatori italiani al sostegno della Resistenza Iraniana  Da circa quattro decenni la dittatura teocratica in Iran viola sistematicamente il Diritti Umani e per questo è stato più volte condannata. Oltre 120.000 persone, tra i dissidenti e gli attivisti per la democrazia e i Diritti umani, sono state impiccate e in alcuni casi i loro famigliari sono stati oggetto di arresti arbitrari, atroci torture e impiccagioni. Nell’estato del’88 il regime iraniano, in solo due mesi, ha fatto eccidio di 30.000 prigionieri politici, perché dissidenti e per il sostegno al movimento di opposizione dei Mojahedin del popolo iraniano (PMOI). Amnesty International ha menzionato tale eccidio “crimine contro l’umanità” di cui i responsabili debbano essere messi di fronte alla giustizia. Secondo la relazione delle Nazioni Unite l’Iran è al primo posto per il numero di impiccagioni relativo alla sua popolazione.  Nonostante l’oppressione dura e Violanta del ...

ncr-iran In un’intervista dettagliata con Mohammad Javad Larijani, in merito alle sanzioni statunitensi sull’Iran e su altre questioni correlate, il presentatore gli chiede del ruolo di Al-Qaida e della sua connessione con il regime iraniano. Di seguito la traduzione di questa sezione dell’intervista: PRESENTATORE: “Circa l’11 settembre e il ruolo di Al-Qaida?”  MOHAMMAD JAVAD LARIJANI: “C’era una raccolta di rapporti secondo i quali questi elementi di al-Qaeda che viaggiavano qui dall’Arabia Saudita volevano andare in Afghanistan o altrove, venivano con voli o via terra, chiedendo di non timbrare il loro passaporto, perché se il governo saudita avesse scoperto che erano stati in Iran si sarebbero messi nei guai. Per alcune di queste richieste il nostro governo accettò di non timbrare i passaporti, dato che i viaggiatori erano in transito per due ore, sarebbero andati via, ma la loro entrata e uscita fu registrata. Per questo motivo, hanno detto, ad esempio, che fu com...

ncr-iran Le rassemblement du régime intégriste organisé chaque année pour « La Journée Qods (Jérusalem) » s'est transformé en un échec, avec un boycott général de la population. Malgré les mises en scènes frauduleuse, les chaines de l'Etat n'ont pas été en mesure de montrer des scènes de foule. La population, complètement dégoûtée par les politiques agressives et les interventions militaires du régime dans la région sous le couvert trompeur du soutien aux palestiniens, ont refusé de descendre dans la rue et n’y sont même pas descendus pour vaquer à leur routine quotidienne. Ce boycott généralisé a eu lieu alors que les dirigeants du régime et leur machine de propagande soulignaient l'importance du rassemblement de la Journée Qods ces dernières semaines et invitaient la population à y participer massivement. Les autorités ont essayé sans succès d'entasser les rues en offrant des services gratuits de bus et de métro à Téhéran et dans d'autres villes, en...

ncr-iran Jeudi, l’organisation italienne de défense des droits humains, EveryOne, a publié une déclaration en partenariat avec  Iran Human Rights Monitor , demandant la libération urgente de tous les prisonniers politiques détenus en République islamique d’Iran depuis ces six derniers mois. La déclaration souligne «  les arrestations massives  » et le meurtre de «  prisonniers sans défense  » qui ont débuté en même temps que les «  manifestations prodémocratie  » le 28 décembre 2017. Les manifestations initiales dans la ville de Machhad ont mis le feu aux poudres dans près de 140 villes et villages dans tout le pays. Lors de ces manifestations, les manifestants ont entonné des slogans provocants tel que «  mort au dictateur  » et «  mort à Rohani  » se référant ainsi respectivement au Guide suprême iranien et son président. S’appuyant sur les réseaux de renseignements du régime, le Conseil national de la Résistance iranien...

ncr-iran Dans une interview le 5 juin 2018 sur la chaine de télévision d’État, Ali Akbar Salehi, le responsable de l’organisation de l’énergie atomique d’Iran a déclaré concernant le projet atomique :"Étant donné les circonstances actuelles, vos fils, ces héros méconnus à l’organisation de l’énergie atomique d’Iran, ont continué de travailler discrètement avec le soutien du gouvernement en matière de finances et de régulation." "C’est une des tâches que notre organisation a menées à bien de manière désintéressée, car nous ne pouvions pas rendre publiques nos missions auparavant afin d’éviter qu’elles ne soient détournées. Mais actuellement, nous les rendons publics progressivement." "Parmi les recommandations du Guide suprême et le soutien de notre honorable président, comme le 11e gouvernement était engagé dans les négociations (de l’accord sur le nucléaire), l’OEAI a commencé des activités d’infrastructure massive. Par conséquent, nous n’avons pas p...

Agencies, 21 January 2018  - Iran Mullah regime wasted little time squelching their citizens' favorite social media as protests multiplied in December including slapping 'temporary' blocks on encrypted international apps like Telegram and Instagram, in addition to existing obstacles to Internet access, Radio Free Europe reported. Such steps paled in comparison to reports of protester deaths in the streets and in custody, thousands of arrests, and official denunciations of demonstrators as puppets of foreign 'enemies.' But officials are convinced that the digital clampdown helped extinguish the outbreaks of simmering popular anger against the mullahs establishment in more than 90 cities and towns. 'Cyberspace was kindling the fire of the battle,' cleric Ahmad Khatami told worshippers at Friday Prayers in the Iranian capital on January 5, with reports of unrest waning. 'Once cyberspace was restricted and closed down, the sedition was stopped....

US News & World Report, Jan. 18, 2018  - The recent unrest in Iran has confirmed what many attuned to domestic conditions in the Islamic Republic have long known: that an explosion was not a matter of if, but of when. The destructive reach of the Islamic Republic of Iran from Africa to South America and via Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq is hardly disputed. Yet this destructive influence serves the hesitance of many in the West to confront what appears as a strong and threatening regime. The riots and demonstration may have faded – but not the realities that created them. And this might provide an important policy lesson: Islamic regime's power posturing is designed to hide its true weaknesses. Iran's economy is in shambles. The days of high oil prices are long gone, and national resources are almost depleted. Despite the JCPOA – an agreement aimed at opening the Iranian market to international investors – Iran's economy remains in stagflation, with very little pros...

The Guardian, January 18 2018 -  An Iranian protester who died in custody was forced to take pills that made him sick, his family have claimed, as secrecy shrouds the similar deaths of other prisoners. Little is known about the circumstances leading to the death of at least five protesters rounded up in mass arrests during Iran’s largest protests in nearly a decade. At least 25 people died in clashes during the unrest, which began on 28 December over economic grievances and spread across the country. Mahmoud Sadeghi, an outspoken MP who has scrutinized the authorities’ conduct of the crackdown, has said about 3,700 people were arrested during the protests. A series of tweets by Sadeghi since the unrest has been a rare source of information from within the country. “According to the relatives of one of the detainees who died in jail, he had told his family during a phone conversation [prior to his death] that the authorities had forced him and other prisoners to take ...

Al Arabiya, 17 January 2018  - European countries have increased pressure over Iran’s ballistic missile program and its role in regional conflicts even as they try to tackle President Trump’s threat to nullify nuclear deal with Tehran, a news report has revealed. A Financial Times report, quoting foreign ministry sources in Berlin, said that German, French and British foreign ministers – and EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini – agreed with Iran to hold an “intensive and very serious dialogue” on Tehran’s missile program and regional influence. According to the report, Germany’s foreign minister, Sigmar Gabriel, briefed Rex Tillerson, his US counterpart, about the plan after the European officials met Javad Zarif in Brussels last week. The meeting was held a day before Trump’s warning to European signatories that this was their “last chance” to fix it. The report says that European diplomats are seeking more information from White House officials to understand...

New York Times, Jan. 14, 2018  - The village of Zaras lies in a valley circled by the Zagros Mountains in southwestern Bakhtiari Province of Iran. An hour’s ride from Izeh, the nearest town, Zaras is home to about 60 families, who make a living from farming, pastoral nomadism and working as migrant laborers in Iranian cities. On a September afternoon in 2014, I sat by the mud wall of a hazelnut garden with Darab, a 50-year-old farmer in Zaras. Darab, a man with a charming face and rough, calloused hands, cultivated potatoes, beans and onions on a plot of land slightly larger than an acre. Yet the harvest wasn’t enough to feed his family — his wife, his six children and his elderly parents. Iran imported grains and potatoes on an enormous scale, and the prices fell each year. Darab supplemented his meager earnings by digging wells and working for a few months at construction sites in nearby cities. He would make less than the equivalent of about 20 American dollars for 10 hou...

By Raymond Tanter and Ivan Sascha Sheehan 14 Jan 2018  -- On Jan.12, 2018, President Trump renewed the nuclear deal with Iran. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster was the lead official in helping Trump rollout the decision. The President extended sanctions relief under the deal, keeping it intact for at least another 120 days, but said he would not issue any further waivers, as he negotiates a modified deal with European allies.  In extending the deal, Treasury also issued new sanctions on Iran; the president set a four-month window for Congress and our European allies suggest ideas for a new “pact,” which was neither a treaty nor a signed document. The head of Iran’s judiciary, Sadegh Larijani, is named on the sanctions lists, as is a Chinese network helping Iran procure weapons. The measures are meant to pressure Tehran over ongoing missile tests and its crackdown on Iranian protesters. At the end of 2017 and beginning of this year, Iran has seen its largest dem...
