PLATFORM FOR FUTURE IRAN - MARYAM RAJAVI

June 22, 2013

1. In our view, the ballot box is the only criterion for legitimacy. Accordingly, we seek a republic based on universal suffrage.

2. We want a pluralist system, freedom of parties and assembly. We respect all individual freedoms. We underscore complete freedom of expression and of the media and unconditional access by all to the internet.

3. We support and are

End the silence on Iran’s human rights abuses before the current crackdown worsens

The nationwide protests in Iran, which began on December 28 in Mashhad, gave voice to the economic frustration of ordinary Iranians, but quickly expanded to slogans like “death to [President] Rouhani”, “death to the dictator”, and “reformists, conservatives: the game is over.” In short, the protesters were demanding democratic change in Iran.

To no one’s surprise, Iranian authorities responded violently, with at least 8,000 arrests and upwards of 50 deaths. The predictability of the suppression should have prepared Western policymakers to respond appropriately and effectively.

Despite such brutality, the protests have continued. Earlier this week

Iran: Women political prisoners detained in grim conditions

Iranian women political prisoners Golrokh Iraee and Atena Daemi are held in horrible conditions in a small, dark room in Qarchak Prison while they are denied having telephone contacts or family visits.

This was tweeted by Atena Daemi’s father on Thursday, February 22, 2018. Mr. Hossein Daemi said the lives of these imprisoned women are in danger.

According to Mr. Daemi, his daughter Atena and Golrokh Iraee who is still on hunger strike, are not well.

Since February 1, they have been deprived of having telephone contacts or going for fresh air after dervish women were transferred to the same ward. They are also deprived of shopping at the prison’s store and their conditions resemble solitary confinement. At the same time, they are 

The MEK's Religious Beliefs

The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) is a political group dedicated to bringing freedom and democracy to Iran.

They derive their political beliefs from a modern and tolerant version of Islam that is fully compatible with modern society – the exact opposite of the ruling mullahs’ Sharia Law, which is intolerant, extremist, genocidal, non-democratic, and misogynist – and the MEK believe that their interpretation is the true meaning of Islam.

In 1982, MEK leader Massoud Rajavi, said: “The Islam we want is nationalistic, democratic, progressive, and not opposed to science or civilization. We believe there is no contradiction between modern science and true Islam, and we believe that in Islam there must be no compulsion or dictatorship.”

This combination of tolerant religion and politics means that the MEK enjoys broad public support amongst the Iranian people and people all over the world, but it is also why the mullahs fear the MEK.

Today, we will look 

Rebellious and resilient, Iran’s women are the force for change

Women are indeed the Force for Change.

This was vividly seen in Iran throughout the past year and of course, most conspicuously during the uprising in December and January.

Although the situation in Iran is extremely oppressive for women and they have borne the brunt of repression for the past 39 years, they are not submissive contrary to the regime’s expectation.

Gender discrimination, gender segregation, and various restrictions have made Iranian women not just rebellious but also very resilient.

Iran is using fake polls to discredit the nationwide protests

The tens of thousands of Iranian protesters who risked their lives earlier this year to denounce the corruption and tyranny of the regime of Tehran do not represent the views of the country's population — at least, that's what a survey by a shady organization with ties to the regime claims. Disappointingly, the survey was well-received by media outlets that have a track record of supporting appeasement toward the Iranian regime.

IRAN: STRIKES, PROTESTS AND GATHERINGS; CONTINUES AGAINST THE CORRUPT AND PERVERSE REGIME

Iranian people took into the streets at the end of 2017, to protest against high cost of living and the disgusting economic condition. Since the economic condition is not distinct from the politic corrupt structure in Iran, the protests were chanced political with the demand of regime change.The response by the Iranian regime was violent it caused 8,000 arrests, dozens were killed in the streets and at least 20 were tormenting to death in the custody.

 The government is incapable to solve economy and Unemployment crises.

WHY AREN’T THE PROTESTS FOR JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY EXTINGUISHING IN IRAN?

By Mahdavi Nasim

Disappointed by the deteriorating economic condition and rampant official corruption, the suppressed Iranian people poured into the streets and demanded radical political changes in Iran. The events led to widespread protests that astounded the world and shook the pillars of the power in the country.

Impotent to respond to the legitimate demands of people, as it was expected, the tyranny regime answered back the protesters with an iron fist by security forces and Basij Para militias affiliated to the IRGC. The crackdown’s toll rose to 50 and about 8000 arrests, more than 20 were tormented to death in the custody in different cities according to the reliable sources inside Iran.

Can Fake News Save Iran's Mullahs?

Iran's protests are proving how the people demand change to a democratic system. These nationwide demonstrations, rejecting the entirety of Iran's regime, and U.S. President Donald Trump's positions, alongside other administration officials such as Vice President Pence and UN Ambassador Nicki Haley, have angered Iran's lobbyists and appeasement supporters in the U.S. They have launched retaliatory measures supporting Tehran.

Unemployment and Its Relation to Iran’s Recent Protests and Uprising

NCRI - At its starting point, Iran’s recent uprising kicked off on December 28, 2017, with such slogans like ‘Death to high prices’ and ‘Death to unemployment’ and quickly turned into “Death to the Dictator and Death to Khamenei” and the request for “ Regime Change” as the one and only solution to all the problems.

Concerning the economic aspect of the protests it is notable that the dimensions and depth of the country’s unemployment has grown so much that there are lots of graduates who despite their high level of expertise are involved in such irrelevant jobs like laboring and working as an errand boy in shops, which is even more astonishing -- and of course more heart-rending -- than the country’s unemployment problem itself.

In this regard, a new report on unemployment,

DEBUNKING THE IRAN REGIME'S LIES ABOUT THE MEK: NO, THE MEK AREN’T MARXIST

by Poorang Novak

It is no secret that the Iranian Regime (both Mullah and Shah) have used disinformation campaigns to attack and discredit the Iranian Resistance group, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).

One of those disinformation campaigns is the ‘Islamist Marxist’ label that the Shah’s Secret Police (SAVAK) originally used to disparage the MEK in order to undermine its support among the devout Iranian people because the Shah was scared of the MEK’s potential to mobilize Iranians- particularly the youth- against the monarchy. The Shah and SAVAK also used it to disparage other political opponents of the

Iranian Opposition PMOI/MEK, Under the NCRI Umbrella, What Iran's Regime Is Actually Terrified Of

Iran Focus

London, 9 Jan - For nearly two weeks now protests are mushrooming across Iran and literally shaking the very pillars of the country’s ruling regime. Various discussions continue over the scope of these protests, their comparisons to the 2009 and 1999 uprising episodes, what should be expected from the international community and how to trek forward, amongst other subjects.

What goes neglected to this day is the main source of the Iranian regime’s fear. Yes, this regime has a history of quelling small protests and major uprising, especially thanks

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE’S MOJAHEDIN ORGANIZATION OF IRAN (PMOI/MEK)

by Jazeh Miller

The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) is a political group dedicated to a#chieving a free and democratic Iran, but how did it start and why?
The MEK was founded on September 6, 1965, by three engineers: Mohammad Hanifnejad, Said Mohsen, and Ali-Ashgar Badizadgan.

The trio had previously been involved in the Freedom/Liberation Movement, led by Medhi Bazargan, which advocated for the democratic principles of the Iranian constitution created after the 1905 revolution.

The group lasted for two years before the

Disinformation Campaign of Iran Regime to Discredit Mek

Iran Focus

London, 30 Jan - It is no secret that since it stole power in 1979, the Iranian Regime continually attempts to discredit the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) both domestically and globally.

There are numerous accounts, by both the MEK and various Western institutions, of Iran’s so-called Intelligence Ministry (MOIS) targeting the MEK’s reputation in a “long-running and sophisticated information campaign”, “coordinated and financed by the Iranian intelligence services” to discredit the MEK.

Domestically

The Iranian Regime is scared of the MEK’s popularity in Iran and uses the MOIS to discredit the MEK among the Iranian people. As the mullahs control/censor most the media in Iran, it’s pretty easy for them to spread disinformation about the MEK, but luckily the Iranian people know the truth.

Internationally

The Iranian Regime is scared that the MEK has significant support outside of Iran, as they know that the more foreign governments who support the MEK and not the
