Iran: three decades of execution and hanging continues

By Akbar Kazemi

On the morning of 19 June 1982, we had just eaten breakfast in the IRGC prison in the northern city of Lahijan. We tried sat in the corner of our cell in order to read a book. There were nine of us and were confined in a 16 meter squared cell. We were all political prisoners and opposed the religious regime in Iran for the crimes it had carried out against youths and freedom-loving individuals. Suddenly, the cell door that was locked with a heavy chain opened. The guard looked at us and said: Mohammad and Abdullah Samizadeh, come out! Mohaammad and Abdullah were brothers; both stepped out of the cell after a moment. I was a bit surprised; why did they take Mohammad and Abdullah at 7 in the morning I thought to myself. We became worried.

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.

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.

Two sisters, two sacrificing stars in the night sky of Iran

The article before you is a true story and part of the memories of a female political prisoner by the name of Giti Vanaie, opposing the mullahs’ regime in Iran, in Diesel Abad Prison of Kermanshah, western Iran.

Time of Death: Giti was executed by an Iranian regime firing squad in October 1981. She was around 24 years of age. Giti was executed for the “crime” of supporting the opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran. She was placed under vicious psychological torture and her husband was hanged before her eyes. The next day she, too, was executed and joined her husband.

Dariush’s bloody blanket

In the winter of 1981, being the climax of the Iranian regime launching its crackdown and repressive measures against political dissidents, I myself was arrested on charges of selling pamphlets and supporting the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran. These charges were fabricated by the mullahs’ ruling Iran, and are not considered legitimate charges by any international judiciary organ that is based on principles and legal foundations. These were nothing but the inquisition of people’s political and social beliefs.
