In the Islamic Republic, however, we encounter a "leader" for whom the principle in all matters, including the fight against this disease which has claimed tens of thousands of victims to date, is the perversity of the "enemy-oriented" policy. Today, there is someone at the head of this evil system who has made the fate of a nation a toy of the confused mentality and conspiracy-oriented, ambitious and adventurous policies of the regime.

The workers' struggle against privatization of Haft Tappeh and other ceded units is in fact part of the people's struggle against corruption and looting of public properties by the regime agents and their affiliates and in defense of public rights. This fact shows that other groups who oppose the waste of the country's capital, support the Haft Tappeh workers to achieve their demands and put pressure on the regime to punish the looters of national capital.

Over the past year, many people around the world have become increasingly vulnerable to poverty, injustice and discrimination. Although Corona did not know the rich and the poor, but its pressure was mostly on the laborers. In the face of this unknown calamity, the greatest financial and human losses were inflicted on the lower and poorer classes.

In our view, the way to neutralize foreign provocations, whether by the Netanyahu administration or Trump or any other administration, is not to resort to provocative reciprocal actions, but to declare adherence to the provisions of the JCPOA and express readiness to negotiate with the United States unconditionally. We condemn the tense actions of the US and Israeli governments and consider any action by the Islamic Republic that further inflames the current situation against the national interests of the Iranian people.

We call on progressive humanity and international human rights institutions to confront these crimes. With the aim of halting the death sentences and freeing political and civil prisoners, we urge political, civil and human rights activists to spare no effort to force the Islamic Republic to retreat. The experience of the last four decades has shown that the Islamic Republic can be forced to retreat only through a united and nationwide struggle. Let us not to let the criminal regime to shed the blood of the children of the Iranian people.

That is why we believe that a condemnation of murder of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is missing from the resolution to underline Europe’s universal commitment to human rights and to make a credible show of our European values. Unfortunately, the resolution is also lacking a clear condemnation of the U.S. policy of maximum pressure on Iran, which leave countless Iranians suffering who were already in a precarious social and economic situation following the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

We welcome the resumption of negotiations and believe that any action to bring the Islamic Republic to the negotiating table toward improving Iran's relations with other countries will help to bring peace and detente to the region. In this regard, we consider the lifting of many of the Trump administration's sanctions against Iran and the appropriate return of Iran to its obligations in the JCPOA framework as appropriate measures to express goodwill and build mutual trust.

Ruhollah Zam was brought up in the Islamic Republic system. His execution is primarily a desperate message to the people protesting in January 2017 and October 2019 to intimidate them. On the other hand, it was a message to the forces inside the regime as well. With this execution, the Islamic Republic warns its internal elements about the punishment for leaving the regime and exposing them, wherever they are, they are not immune from punishment.

With the recent developments in the White House and the announcement of the policy of conditional return of the United States to the JCPOA by Joe Biden, a new space for interaction with the world, de-escalation of relations between the Islamic Republic and the US government, start of negotiations within the P5+1 and lifting of the paralyzing economic sanctions has been created.

The purpose of Issuing such a circular and the result of such interference in the affairs of bar associations is continuous control of lawyers and filing of cases against them to the point of revoking their licenses. This trick of the Judiciary is aimed at hunting lawyers with judicature independent personality in order to weaken the ability of the Bar Association to defend its imperfect independence.

Iran: Revoke death penalty against Swedish citizen immediately

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) condemns this terrorist act, which is a threat to peace and calmness in the region. We consider the consequence to be the escalation of tensions and war in the region. The losers of these terrorist acts will be the people of Iran and Israel, and especially the workers and laborers of our country.

Again and again, human rights violations and politically motivated unlawful death sentences based on trumped-up allegations occur in Iran. This is not the first time that the Iranian delegation in the European Parliament has had to deal with similar cases in order to stand up for the democratic rights and freedoms of the Iranian people.

Although relentless efforts are being made around the world by progressive forces to end this inhumane phenomenon, various forms of violence against women are still practiced in most countries. Statistics on the number of women who are physically, sexually or psychologically abused are still very scary and shocking.

Doctors, nurses, assistant nurses, midwives, dentists, pharmacists, and workers and employees of various health care departments of our country are all our children, brothers, sisters, spouses, fathers and mothers. They endure all the hardships and deprivations in order to save our compatriots from death as much as they can. They rightly expect us to abide by medical and health rules and regulations in these circumstances.

The transition of power in the White House in the current situation is another emphasis on the fact that Iran's domestic political issues and related developments should be decided and managed based on internal variables and the interactions and integration of internal forces within the framework of components such as "consideration of national interests", "political pluralism", "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and "country's independence Requirements”. Foreign governments, including the US government, can only put pressure on the Islamic Republic to comply with its global obligations under human rights conventions and treaties.

Delays in making necessary decisions, hesitation in advancing them, confusion in crisis management and not using all means to control the disease, fear of using government authority to force society to comply with Corona regulations, which is due to the deep gap between society and the regime on the one hand and mismanagement in allocation of economic requirements and partly the cultural weakness in some parts of the society on the other hand, are the characteristics of this regime confrontation with the corona.

There is a set of reasons, such as Nasrin Sotoudeh's illness and physical condition after her long hunger strike, continuation of the first Corona wave in Iran and the alarming escalation of its current dimensions, which left up to 400 deaths daily, and the risk of death threatening prisoners’ lives and the recent law of "Reduction of the imprisonment penalty" of the parliament of Iran, that can be consistently cited and other measures, according to which Nasrin should stay with the family and should not return to prison. This should be the case for the release of all other political prisoners as well.

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian), in accordance with the very complex situation in Iran - both internally and in its international relations - tries to express the balanced demands of Iranian society for its sustainable development. This similar approach is a broad area of ​​deep solidarity between your party and ours.

A child commits suicide because he or she finds himself or herself deprived of school because he or she sees that he or she cannot continue school like his or her classmates in the Coronavirus conditions due to poverty. This is not a suicide that happens from time to time and on a large scale in our country, but it can be explained more in crime category.

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) expresses its joy at the release of Narges Mohammadi, calling it the result of her courageous stand and the all-out struggle of freedom-loving forces around the world, who unanimously condemned prison sentences against civil activists and human rights defenders and those who fought for the release of political prisoners and ending detention, torture and imprisonment of civil activists, journalists and dissidents in Iran.

Mohammad Reza Shajarian was a unique singer with a unique voice and mastered his profession and it can be said that he was the most influential figure in contemporary Iranian music. He was a bridge between the old generation and the later generation of Iranian singers and had his own style. He had an admirable skill in reading Persian poetry.

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian), as a party whose core believes are based on the human rights values ​​and recognizes the "right to life" as one of the highest human rights, considers the inhuman and cruel death penalty to be "deliberate state murder" which is regrettably, still run by some regimes preceded by the IR of Iran.

We demand an immediate end to this military conflict, declaration of ceasefire and the return of the two sides to the negotiating table.

We, at ÖGB strongly urge the authorities to release trade unionist Ismael Bakhshi and journalist Sepideh Gholiyan as well as to engage in a meaningful and authentic social dialogue in order to contribute to not only the economic but also to the social peace of your country.

- The representative of the European Parliament in the negotiations with Iran strongly condemned the murder of Navid Afkari!
- No More Youth Killing!
- Silence against Rape and Sexual Harassment is to the Detriment of Society!
- In prisons and with political prisoners

Political prisoners in Iran have always been held hostage by the regime. For more than forty years, the ruling dictators have used prisoners as means of pressure on society and tools to intimidate the people the way they wanted and as much as they could. Now that the regime is in the throes of another uprising and is facing a more powerful resurrection, it is furiously trying to push back the outbreak of the protest movement by violently repressing people inside and outside of the prison.

Any agreement that is not based on assuring the basic and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people on their land, putting an end to the Israeli occupation and recognizing the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent national state on the land of Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital, can only be described as a surrender agreement that blatantly denies the just cause of the Palestinian people and their struggle, that is full of sacrifices, to end the abhorrent occupation

Navid Afkari was a victim of the usual frame-ups of the intelligence-security organs and the judiciary of the IR. According to his lawyer, in Navid's case, there is not the slightest evidence to prove his guilt, except for the confessions obtained under torture and dictated by the interrogators. The repressive apparatus of the regime has forced Afkari brothers to confess against each other and accept false accusations under torture.

Navid was not an unknown figure like many other detainees of the August 2018 nationwide protests, but a conscious choice by the IR's repressive apparatus to say that even an international reputation would not prevent the killing of protesters, and that street killings would not suffice but will be complemented by mass detentions, mass torture, insults and confessions and executions.

The report, entitled "Destroyers of Humanity: Massive Detentions, Disappearances, and Torture in the wake of the November 2019 protests in Iran," is based on the horrific narratives of dozens of protesters, passers-by, and others who were forcibly arrested, disappeared, kept in solitary confinement and repeatedly tortured for confession.

Such a "feeling of immunity" from the reaction of society and current laws stems from several factors, the most important of which is rooted in society's traditions and attitudes towards women, which are followed by "normalization" and the passage of patriarchal reactionary laws and cause fear and instability in the will of victimized women in pursuing and punishing the perpetrator.
