The Left Party of Iran, expressing its disgust at the execution of Pakhshan Azizi, Varisheh Moradi, and other political prisoners sentenced to death, calls on international organizations, human rights organizations, and all those with a conscience not to remain silent and to take action to save the lives of these two compatriots and other prisoners sentenced to death, by any means they deem possible.

Once again, we emphasize that those responsible for this tragedy must be held accountable for their crimes in a transparent, public and fair manner before a court of law. The Iranian people, human rights organizations and political parties that care about the people will not allow the guardians of this corrupt and oppressive system to escape justice through silence and oblivion.

In response to the concert, Iran's state media announced the sealing of the historic Deir-e Gachin caravanserai in Qom, where the event took place and the dismissal of two cultural heritage officials in Qom for negligence. Reza Salehi Amiri, Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, confirmed the dismissal of the province’s heritage and tourism directors and the manager of the Revitalization Fund of Historic Monuments

The Fall of the Assad Regime
In early December 2024, more than five decades of the Assad dynasty’s dictatorial rule in Syria came to an abrupt end.
Huge questions remain outstanding as to whether peace, prosperity, territorial integrity and democracy will be achieved in Syria. Coherent answers are likely to take a long time to emerge.
Syria has suffered many years of civil war and sanctions resulting in a shattered economy.
Will the country have enough investigation to be turned into a viable economy? By whom and with what conditions?

The Political-Executive Board of the Left Party of Iran hopes that 2025 will be the year of success for the revolutionary movement of the Iranian people and that the foundations of the power of the authoritarian regime will be shattered by the fighting force of the united people of Iran. Workers, diligent people and other people of our country can pave the way for the establishment of a democratic republic based on the separation of religion and state, instead of the Islamic Republic.

Israel’s brutal treatment of the Palestinians and total disregard for international law has left an impact on the Arab street that cannot be quantified.  Its worth noting that this subjective issue may have a pronounced effect on developments.

The imminent return of Donald Trump to the US presidency does not bode well.  The growing clash between the main powers on the global stage will affect developments in Syria and beyond.
