NCRI - The mullahs' inhuman regime whipped five prisoners in public in the northern city of Khoram-Dareh, the state-run daily Javan reported on Saturday.

NCRI - A group of local shopkeepers and their families protesting to repeated power outages which have hurt their businesses gathered outside the governor's office in the central city of Shahinshahr.

The demonstrators began their march toward governor's office passing through the Ferdosi Street, Shahinshahr's business area, on their way. Tow bus load full of members of special units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) blocked their way and tried to stop them from reaching their intended destination. The IRGC units fired tear gas into the crowd and beat up a number of the protesters.

NCRI - A large crowd, in a symbolic gesture, marched on Friday from Farzad Kamangar's -- a Kurdish political prisoner sentenced to death -- house in the northwestern city of Kamyaran to a small village, Marab, where he used to teach. His mother joined the local residents marching in support of his son.

A few miles outside the city, the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police – caught up with the marchers and forced them to board the SSF buses back to Kamyaran. The agents did not allow the citizens to return on foot fearing a more widespread demonstration. The SSF seized the protesters cell phones and cameras.

The Iranian regime’s Air and Space Organization, part of its Ministry of Defense, along with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unit responsible for the missiles program, are collaborating extensively and secretly in the field of missile technology transfer to Venezuela. The IRGC’s commanders even attended the June 2008 Venezuelan military exercise.

During the past 5 years, the Iranian regime has established extensive military and political relations with Venezuela, with its investments in that country totaling roughly 10 billion dollar. Mullahs’ former president, Mohammad Khatami, and their current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have each traveled to Venezuela twice, while the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, has also reciprocated with his own trips to Tehran on a number of occasions.

NCRI – Ahmad Janati, The mullahs' head of powerful Guardian Council, in Friday's sermons thanked the "judiciary, Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and the State Security Forces (SSF – mullahs' suppressive police)" for what he called the "execution of thugs," reported the website of the state television.

"We must uproot these rotten stubs," said Janati referring to the Sunday's mass execution of 29 prisoners in the notorious Tehran Evin prison.

"We should have started this [executions] ten or twenty years ago," Janati added.

Taking pride in such barbarity is a clear grimace to the entire civilized world which unanimously condemned the executions.
EU rotary president France, on behalf of the European Union, condemned the Sunday execution and called them an "affront to human dignity."
