Iran Uprising - No. 85

On Wednesday February 21, 2018, Tehran and other cities witnessed protests held by educators, workers, retirees and looted people of government institutions including Caspian, Afzal Toos, Arman Vahdat and others.

An important part of the protesters in front of the parliament was the looted people who were chanting slogans of: “They are using Islam, to pound the people”; “Larijani is a judge, he is playmate with the thieves”; “the government betrays; Parliament supports it”; “n o other nation has ever seen such a shameless government”.

The looted members of the Arman Vahdat state institution from different cities, especially Ahvaz, participated in the rally.

The retired educators, who were among the demonstrators in front of the regime's Parliament, were chanting: “livelihood, dignity, is our inalienable right”, “we will not rest, until we get our rights”, “political prisoner must be freed”, “imprisoned teacher must be freed”, “the teacher is behind bars, the classroom is empty”. They were saying while the minimum wage set by the regime itself is four million tomans ($800), they are paid less than one million tomans and are unable to provide the basic needs for themselves and their families. The protesters, in whom women played a significant role, had banners reading: “Unity, awakening, not poverty not unemployment”, “bread, housing, freedom”, “effective insurance and free treatment is our absolute right”, “the looters of the short-term pension funds must be fired”, “the fight against corruption and embezzlement ensures the legal and welfare protection of retirees.”
The retired workers protesting in front of the parliament, all of whose rights and salaries were lost by the so-called social security organization of the regime, had a banner in their hands reading: The workers' community has no savior.

The MEK's Religious BeliefsJubin Katiraie

The MEK's Religious BeliefsJubin Katiraie Blog 18 February 2018 The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) is a political group dedicated to bringing freedom and democracy to Iran. They derive their political beliefs from a modern and tolerant version of Islam that is fully compatible with modern society – the exact opposite of the ruling mullahs’ Sharia Law, which is intolerant, extremist, genocidal, non-democratic, and misogynist – and the MEK believe that their interpretation is the true meaning of Islam. In 1982, MEK leader Massoud Rajavi, said: “The Islam we want is nationalistic, democratic, progressive, and not opposed to science or civilization.

Neumann After lashing out against opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran in several parliamentary debates, a member of the European Parliament has admitted to doing the bidding of Tehran.

دنيا الوطن 13/8/2017 بقلم: أمل علاوي طوال الاعوام الماضية حاول نظام الجمهورية الاسلامية الايرانية بصورة و أخرى تجاهل نشاطات و تحرکات المقاومة الايرانية في وسائل إعلامها و التصدي لها بطرق سرية يطغى عليها الطابع الاستخباري التجسسي، لکن التقدم الکبير الذي أحرزته المقاومة الايرانية خلال الاعوام الاخيرة بشکل خاص و الانتصارات و المکاسب السياسية الباهرة التي حققتها، ولاسيما إنفتاح العالمين العربي و الاسلامي عليها بعد أن نجحت في کسر کافة الحواجز التي وضعتها طهران أمامها، فإن الاخيرة لم تجد من مناص من الاعتراف العلني بنشاطات و تحرکات المقاومة الايرانية و التصدي لها بصورة مکشوفة. التجمعات السنوية العامة للمقاومة الايرانية و التي صارت بمثابة کابوس لطهران خصوصا وإنها صارت بمثابة أکبر تجمع سياسي ـ فکري إيراني ـ إقليمي ـ دولي يتناول الاوضاع في إيران عن کثب و يسلط الاضواء على الجرائم و المجازر و الانتهاکات التي يرتکبها النظام الايراني ضد الشعب الايراني و کذلك يتناول قضية تصدير التطرف الديني و الارهاب لدول المنطقة و التدخل في شٶونها، ويکشف کذب و زيف الشعارات التي يتمشدق بها هذا النظام فيما يتعلق ...
