Shocking suicide of mother along with her infant and young daughter
The increasing trend of suicide among different classes and in all age groups and Increase in group suicides, has become a humanitarian catastrophe in Iran. The victims of most of these suicides are in the country’s deprived western and southern provinces, such as Ilam, Kermanshah, Lorestan, Hamedan and Khuzestan, and mostly being women and the young, including even 13 year olds.
Suicide in Iran has strangely increase,” according to the state-run Khabar Online website. “From 2011 to 2015 suicides have increased 66% amongst women and 71% amongst men. For years suicide statistics have not been provided to the media as they should and the entities involved mostly refuse to do so. Suicides amongst the youths are also very high.”Considering the fact that for every suicide death, 60 suicides end in the victim surviving (state-run Youth Journalists Club – 17 Jan 2016), one can imagine the horrifying scope of this social disaster.
On Monday, December 25th in Iran a 40-year old mother threw her 10-year-old daughter off the fifth floor of a building and went on to commit suicide with her three-month old baby. This shocking event in Rezvan Shahr of Gilan province, northern Iran, left the mother and her baby dead, and the locals utterly devastated in shock.
Two days prior to this unfortunate event Iranian officials reported 16 suicides in the span of 40 days following the recent earthquake in western Iran, and the increasing rate of suicides in this part of the country. Prior to the quake Kermanshah province registered 23 suicides amongst 1,000 people, being five times the country’s average.
On December 6th reports indicate four young girls committing suicide in Mashhad, northeast Iran. This followed the suicide of two 15-year-old girls in the town of Malak Shahi.
On November 4th a 13-year-old girl hanged herself shortly after her mother committed suicide. Prior to this, small town of Mazandaran province, northern Iran was shaken on October 10th when a father committed suicide along with his wife and two daughters by setting the entire family ablaze.
Suicide numbers amongst women double those of men, according to state-run media outlets. Furthermore, 40% of all suicides involve self-emulation and are acts of protests. Currently in Iran under the mullahs’ rule, women have the highest number of self-emulations in the Middle East. (Jahan-e San’at daily – January 17th, 2016).
The shocking scope of suicides in Iran, especially the concerning escalation of group suicides, are the result of 38 years of the mullahs’ despotic rule, providing the Iranian people with nothing but crackdown, torture and execution, parallel to poverty, corruption, unemployment, prostitution, drug addiction and …

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism 21 February 2018 Iran Focus London, 21 Feb - In recent years, when the US has made statements against Iran-backed Hezbollah, they have often followed this up with support for the Lebanese army and security forces, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is little, if any, distinction between the Lebanese state and the Iran-backed terrorist group. When US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Beirut, last Thursday, Hezbollah had created two new problems with Israel: a southern border wall and the debates over oil and gas extraction. This caused Tillerson to make the US position on Hezbollah very clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation with no difference between its military and political wings. He advised that Hezbollah and Iran were creating tensions in the region in order to destabilise the Middle East. Iran seeks the destruction to distract others from its own problems, both domestic and international. It not only ta...
