Iran: Border porters victimized
In the evening of May 10, the Iranian regime security
forces in Mohammadabad, Iranshahr police station opened fire on a pickup truck

Each of these figures will join in condemning the policies of the Islamic
Republic and express support for the Iranian resistance and its call for regime
change and a free, democratic, non-nuclear Iran.

campaign by Iranians and their supporters from all walks of life. The problems and issues addressed by that
campaign are not localized to Iran but address the entire crisis in the region,
and the Western policies that may address it.
IRAN- Tunne Kelam: Stop attacks by the Iranian Government against humanitarian
![]() |
Tunne Kelam |
When in 2013 the new President of Iran Hassan Rouhani
was elected, he promised that he would stop the political oppression and will
restore civil freedoms and rights to all ethnic and religious groups. Sadly,
during the following almost two years, the opposite has taken place. Clamping
down on civilians and minorities that are trying to retain their identity and
dignity, has seen a dramatic increase. As for the executions, Iran notoriously
ranks among the three leading countries of the world. The Government-sponsored policy
of violent intolerance has reached a point that the regime has begun to shut
down even charity organisations which provide help for the needy and sick
co-citizens.
The past few weeks have witnessed closing down of the medical charity Reza
Aid Foundation. Aided by members of Gonabadi dervishes, the Reza Aid Foundation
has been operational for 20 years, serving the poorest and neediest part of
society.......
Iran: Smuggling of goods increases
Since Hassan Rouhani became the president of the
clerical regime, import of goods smuggled into the country, compared to
official imports, has increased dramatically.
This increase is a telling indicator that proves the fact that the regime
has lost control of the country's economic situation more than ever.
Habibullah Haghighi, the head of "Headquarters of fighting smuggling
of goods and currency" has said that while the total official import
imports to the country was 50 billion dollars in 2014, imports of smuggled and
non-customs goods reached 40% of this figure and amounted to about 20 billion
dollars.
