The implications of Iran’s prison riots |
Iran, March 31, 2020—The past week has seen riots in many Iranian prisons. It started in Khoramabad and Aligoudarz, followed by Tabriz and Saqqez. On Saturday night the wave of prison riots reached Hamedan and Mahabad prisons. On Sunday night it was the turn of Adelabad Prison of Shiraz. On Monday, there were reports of riots in Ahvaz prison.
The incidents are taking place against the backdrop of the worsening coronavirus outbreak, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 14,200 people. Iran’s prisons, in particular, are hit badly as humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate.
Prison escapes, a sign of dissolution
While the regime’s forces seemed to be on high alert after the first prison riot broke out, the continued rebellion in prisons and the escape of prisoners shows the regime instability and its failure to maintain its hold on the situation.
This can also be seen as the other side of the coin which shows the regime’s failure in imposing its force on its larger prisoner population, the Iranian society, a society that is on the verge of bursting from anger.
The Iranian society is another example of big prisons made by the mullahs by imposing economic pressure, suppression, harsh suffocation and now the coronavirus crisis has been added to it.

House of Representative Resolution 374 also expresses support for the Iranian people’s desire for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic of Iran.
The resolution states that Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi’s 10-point plan for the future of Iran calls for the universal right to vote, free elections, and a market economy, and advocates gender, religious, and ethnic equality, a foreign policy based on peaceful coexistence, and a non-nuclear Iran.
Highlighting the Iranian regime’s terrorist activity on European soil, the resolution calls on U.S. Government agencies to work with European allies, including those in the Balkans, where Iran has expanded its presence, to hold Iran accountable for breaching diplomatic privileges, and to call on nations to prevent the malign activities of the Iranian regime’s diplomatic missions, with the goal of closing them down, including the Iranian embassy in Albania.

DAMAGE IN KHUZESTAN PROVINCE |
More than two weeks of severe floods have devastated Iran and created a nationwide crisis.
Three consecutive floods destroyed homes, dams, businesses, and public buildings; flooded and blocked roads; contaminated water supplies; and took hundreds of lives.
Tens of thousands of people in numerous flood-stricken provinces now desperately need emergency assistance, but forty years of mismanagement and corruption has left the Iranian regime without the resources or competence to do so.
DAMAGE IN KHUZESTAN PROVINCE
Conditions in Khuzestan Province are dire.
On Wednesday, the Dez River in Khuzestan Province overflowed and flooded a number of nearby sugarcane farms, causing severe damage.

INU- As we approach International Women’s Day, we have seen many instances of women being treated barbarically under the Iranian Regime, with the most prominent examples that come to mind being the normalisation of domestic abuse via Iranian state TV and the continued legalisation of child marriages.

MARYAM RAJAVI AND INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY: PART 4 |
With that in mind, we wanted to look at how Maryam Rajavi, leader of the Iranian Resistance, would support women's rights in a Free Iran.
We’ve previously looked at the freedoms, rights, and equality that Maryam Rajavi believes all women should enjoy, which includes equality in the family sphere, the prohibition of violence against women, and the equal and Active participation of Women in Leadership.
In our fourth and final piece, we will look at why Maryam Rajavi believes that compulsory veiling is wrong, how this ties in with women’s equality, and what she would do to stop it.
Compulsory veiling or the forced hijab is a relatively new thing in Iran, only brought in following the mullahs’ takeover in 1979 despite mass protests from Iranian women and the Iranian Resistance.
This sexist law is one of a series designed to deprive women of their autonomy and is enforced by the so-c
