The victims of 1988 massacre of political prisoners

Members of families and relatives of the victims of 1988 massacre of political prisoners and those killed by the Iranian regime in the 1980s were banned from paying homage to their loved ones at their burial site outside Tehran.

The forces closed off roads leading to the cemetery and harassed those intending to attend the gathering.

NCRI's Statements Kidnapping a PMOI member with the cause of a suspicious car accident 3km from Camp Liberty

Referring the case of an Iranian refugee to the Iranian embassy in Baghdad by the investigative judge is a clear breach of the international law

Call on the US and UN for the immediate release of PMOI member Safar Zakery who has been in detention for the past two weeks

All of the Iraqi officials’ daily promises in the past two weeks regarding the release of this prisoner have proven to be hollow

IRAN DIGS IN AGAINST IAEA AND US AS FRAMEWORK DEADLINE LOOMS

INU- In absence of clear evidence of progress toward a nuclear agreement before the March 31 framework deadline, doubts will surely remain about whether negotiators are truly any closer to closing off all Iranian pathways to a nuclear weapon. After all, evidence already exists to contradict that notion, indicating that Iran remains intransigent on at least some aspects of its nuclear program.

For instance, the Times of India reported on Tuesday that the International Atomic Energy Agency had once again called for greater Iranian cooperation with its probe into the possible military dimensions of its nuclear work. At the beginning of the negotiating process, it was assumed that Western powers would base some of their decision making on the outcome of this probe, but the probe has made very little progress, according to IAEA head Yukiya Amano.

Furthermore, Iranian officials have insisted that the probe has nothing to do with the negotiations. And the Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Tehran has also again flatly refused to accept snap inspections of its nuclear work, in response to Amano’s call for dramatically expanded IAEA access in order to answer crucial questions about what the regime may be hiding.

White House facing pressure to confront Iran regime

Yemeni protesters support of the 'Firmness Storm' operations

As chaos and bloodshed have spread in the Middle East the White House is facing heavy pressure from its traditional Sunni Arab allies, Congress and some in the U.S. military to confront Iran more forcefully over its support for militant groups, the Washington Post reports.

Although the U.S. has supported the Saudi-led attacks in Yemen with intelligence and logistical help, and in Iraq, has pressured Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to disentangle Iranian-backed groups from government forces in exchange for the firepower of U.S. warplanes over the city of Tikrit, the critics of Administration believe the push to confront the Iranian regime has come too late.

Some former senior U.S. military commanders, meanwhile, said they have been warning for years of the need to do more to deal with what they see as Iran’s efforts to sow chaos through its armed proxies, the Post reported.

Rajavi urged for the thorough expansion of this just and legitimate defense against religious fascism in Iran and its mercenaries throughout the region including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.

Rajavi added that the only viable solution is firmness against this regime, its eviction from the region, and the toppling of the clerical regime in Iran.

12 Executions, one week after the Iranian New Year

It has only been only one week since the Iranian New Year or Nowruz , but the mullahs’ ruling Iran have twice sent groups of prisoners to the gallows.

The clerical regime which can only prolong its bloody rule in Iran by executions and intimidations to suppress any opposition or dissent in the country, didn’t wait until the New Year holidays finish and them wrap its bloody hands around the neck of the Iranian people. The clerical regime hanged 12 people in just one day, 5 in Mashhad and 7 in Shiraz on Thursday.
The 7 prisoners were sent to the gallows at dawn on Thursday in Adel-Abad Shiraz. They had been transferred to the solitary Thursday of the week before and had spent a week in the solitary waiting for the sentence to be carried out.
Due to the holidays in Iran, Iranian newspapers do not print, and so these executions have not been reported and it was carried out in total silence.
The other 5 prisoners were hanged in the holy city of Mashhad, northern Iran on the same day making the total of 12 in just one day. The judiciary has not announced these executions either.

European Parliament- Brussels

More than 100 European lawmakers have demanded that Iran’s widespread human rights violations - especially executions, the jailing of political prisoners and the repression of women - form a part of any negotiations with the regime.
The 106 European lawmakers also called for full implementation of all UN Security Council resolutions with regard to Iran’s Nuclear Program, and for snap inspections and continued sanctions against Iran.
MEP Gérard Deprez, Chair of Friends of a Free Iran in the European Parliament, said: 'Euro MPs are very concerned that the violation of human rights in Iran has been pushed to the side-lines because of the ongoing negotiations.
'We are concerned about Tehran deceiving the international community on its secret nuclear program as a new nuclear site, Lavizan 3, was revealed on 24 February by the opposition NCRI . We are fully convinced that Tehran has not yet decided to give up its nuclear ambitions.'
The European lawmakers also stressed in their joint statement: 'Iran keeps sidestepping abandoning its nuclear weapons program to impose its dominion over the region. Experience of 12 years indicates that the sole avenue to prevent a military confrontation is to ramp up pressure on Iran and impose biting sanctions.

“And so what we have to do, whether there’s a deal or not, is continue to keep pressure on Iran and to make sure that it is not able to continue to destabilize a number of the countries in the region.”
