Workers of small units and their lower strata are facing the threat of unemployment and income constraints and big units are also facing the nightmare of bankruptcy.

Khamenei's tweet indicates that once again, the knife of sanctions has passed through the bones of the people and reached the empty pocket of the regime.

Despair has forced Khamenei to speak of the heroic softness of "Imam Hassan Mojtaba, the bravest figure in the history of Islam."

Science and art are intertwined and together they are the building blocks of society's culture. The Islamic Republic (IR) does not tolerate either, and the sharp edge of its "Cultural Revolution" has, above all, targeted the throats of art and authors. This aiming, was not only to distort it, but also beyond it, to destroy everything that had any sign of artistic creativity and intellectual freedom.

The regime does all that it can to prevent formation and activity of independent trade unions. It prosecutes workers’ leaders and imprisons them. There are a small number of trade unions that have formed despite all the obstacles. Their founding leaders have been imprisoned for many years.

To achieve a real increase in wages and to get rid of poverty and other deprivations imposed on workers by capitalists and pro-capitalist governments, requires the organisation of the working class independent unions and the solidarity and unity of the workers’ organisations.

The fragility of the Islamic Republic (IR) is due to the more concentration of power in the hands of the Supreme Leader and his entourage which is currently manifested in Khamenei and his court (Beit). Therefore, the transition from the IR is contingent upon the end of the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (Velayat-e-Faqih). The tumble of the IR is, in essence, Velayat-e-Faqih, which has concentrated absolute power in the hands of the Supreme Leader and forces under his command.

By taking positions and presenting proposals from its establishment two years ago, our party has tried to expose its political views and platform to the sight and judgement of the movement and have impact on our country’s political processes.

Meeting

The signatories of this letter, who have spent part of our lives as political prisoners, request you to call for the release of political prisoners as a step forward in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Concerning the seriousness of the situation in our country, we, the four republican and national organizations and parties set forth the following suggestions designed to pass the Corona crisis in a faster time frame by synergizing the efforts of the civil society forces, NGOs, public institutions and the private sector.

As a result of the sanctions the poor, low-income portion of the population, children and women have been affected. Now, with the spread of Coronavirus all Iranian people are feeling the impact of US withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran.

95 Iraqi Civil Society Organisations Call for Special Session Concerning Events in Iraq during Human Rights Council 44th session.

The victory of the boycott of the elections is an important step in the continuation of the civil struggle of the Iranian people for the transition from the Islamic Republic, an end to the prevailing religious tyranny, and an emphasis on the fact that freedom and democracy can be achieved not within the Islamic Republic ranks but in its absence.

As the value of human life takes precedence over everything else, at the moment, all the emphasis should be on minimizing losses caused by this disease. We also say this ahead of time that resorting to excuses such as lack of medicines, lack of preventive means, lack of reception centers for patients, etc. is not a decisive factor, especially as the experience of other countries in this area is also available.

In order to defeat the regime’s attempt to restore its goner legitimacy and to claim that the people are its backers, we call on people not to show up at the polling stations and demonstrate their protest in any possible way. Leaving polling stations and ballot boxes empty and boycotting actively can strengthen the protest movement and cause another blow to the Islamic Republic (IR) and further discredit it.

Evidently the Palestine issue was a pretext for Trump and Netanyahu to save themselves from the current political gridlocks to save themselves in US and Israel. Trump to overshadow the impeachment process and his successful “leadership” role in the upcoming US election and Netanyahu to overshadow his role in his corruption case in Israel!

Our policy is NO to war, NO to sanctions, and NO to the Islamic Republic. We are against war and we will not stand by any side. Our party fights for the transition from the Islamic Republic to the establishment of a secular and democratic republic, relying on civil movements and democratic struggles of the Iranian people. We condemn war and leaning on foreign forces to establish alternatives to Islamic Republic.

We believe it would be a severe blow to the ruling tyranny if all the forces who are for establishment of democracy and transition from the Islamic Republic (IR), by inviting people not to attend the polling stations, take action against the eleventh parliamentary election show.

We should not giving in to the violence and oppression that has been inflicted on affected families over the years. We should not let them prevent us from even commemorating our loved ones. We should attend commemorations anywhere in the world and in our homeland.

Protesters' bombast and clear slogans point to the evolution of democratic struggles against the Islamic Republic which has systematically challenged Iranian peoples’ desire for peace and they have jeopardized the future of Iran.

In sympathy with those affected by the recent flood in Iran!

Need to help flood-stricken compatriots in Sistan and Baluchistan!

The Iranian people share of this indelible pain is only grief and anger towards the IR and combat against it. The people will not leave liars and those responsible for this tragic incident alone. We must not hesitate any possible way of protesting nationally against the IR who is responsible for this tragedy.
