Iran: Last Man Standing

By Assadollah Nabavi

After spending years inside various prisons across Iran due to my opposition against the regime, in 2008 I was transferred to Evin Prison in Tehran. Entering ward 209 I saw three middle-aged men with long beards and very wooly hair, with a difficult accent that made it hard to understand what Farsi they were speaking. However, very soon I realized that all three were young men in their 20s and 30s from the province of Sistan & Baluchistan whose locals have suffered much.

Iran regime is only fearful of Mujahedin-e-Khalq MEK

U.S. President Barack Obama and other Western leaders have been duped into believing that the Iranian regime's President Hassan Rouhani is a "moderate" when reality shows he is no different from the mullahs' Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Iranian dissidents in an interview published on Monday by The Washington Times.

MEK member tells UK Parliament of arrest of parents in Iran

Shaqayeq Azimi, a member of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI, or MEK), describes her torment after hearing last week of the arrest of her parents by the mullahs' regime in Iran. Shaqayeq addressed a meeting of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom on human rights in Iran at the UK House of Commons on October 19, 2015 via the internet:

 Distinguished Members of Parliament, 

Iran’s Islamic republic main source of fundamentalism and instability

By Nasrin Younesi

My country Iran has a 2,500 year history; the country of Cyrus the Great, where the first freedom charter was written is now in the hands of mullahs; savage animals who pretend to be human.

In all corners of the world, people rise up to demand their rights, and if their demands are not met, at least their voice is heard.

However, the ruthless mullahs have for the past 4 decades punished any voice of discontent with torture and execution. Yet given that freedom and liberation runs in the veins of every Iranian, they will pay the price, even if it costs them their lives.

My Hero

By Ne’mat Firuzi

The time was December 1981, and the place was the city of Arak, located in central Iran. Iran’s revolution had only seen 3 springs and I was barely 18 years of age. However, after spending 20 days in solitary confinement controlled by the Revolutionary Guards, they took me while blindfolded into a dungeon they called temporary detention center. It was a dark place, in the basement of a building, lacking any kind of hygiene facilities.

The Story of a Woman’s Resistance Who Did Not Succumb to Iran’s Religious Dictatorship

By Assadollah Nabavi

The sound of a woman in pain had me go to the door of my prison cell. Cell number 2 of Semnan Prison in central Iran. It was back in August 1988. 

The summer of 1988 Iran was the scene of horrific massacres carried out under Khomeini’s religious fatwa against all political prisoners across the country. I was looking down the hallway through the small hatch in my cell. The prison guards were busy taking something away with a cart. I looked more carefully.

Iran: Legends of liberation will never be forgotten.

By Nasrin Yonesi

Have you ever been able to count 120.000 or even 1000 stars? You’re, certainly, surprised. I wish, someday, somewhere I can room that big number so that I can feel and understand it. Can you believe that there is a state or a system in this world that has already executed 120.000 of its citizens, who were all educated, doctors, and students? That it even included youth, teenagers, and pregnant women. Wounded are killed under torture, on the gallows or before the firing squad.

Even teachers feel no mercy in Iran

By Massoud 

Summer is ending and schools are opening across the globe. Teachers are always considered kind and giving individuals who care for their students and strive to give their all, knowing they are raising their country’s next generations. In Iran, teachers have always been viewed with such respect and students are ever grateful for their efforts. However, the cruel Iranian regime actually feels threatened from teachers in Iran because they enlighten the youth, and they themselves are always a source of protests demanding their rights.

Iran, spring of freedom

By Hossain Farsi

Fresh snow from the night before had covered everywhere and drops of blood were visible on the ground. It was mid-winter 1981, and the weather in Tehran was bone-chilling cold. It was clear that it was the footsteps of a prisoner who had been severely tortured by the henchmen. The barbaric tortures were carried out based on Khomeini’s fatwa. The bloody footsteps led to the solitary confinement near us. We guessed that a new prisoner had joined our cell, or they had taken one of the older ones for torture the night before.

At that time they didn’t mix the detainees who had passed through their interrogation and torture process and with severe physical conditions were on death row with the others. The cell adjacent to us was for these individuals. They were kept in such conditions to the very end.
