Eurojournalist Report Highlights Geneva Conference Urging UN Action on Iran’s Execution Crisis
This news report reflects the coverage of the Geneva conference published on Maryam Rajavi’s website, originally sourced from Eurojournalist. A high-level conference held on Wednesday at the Maison Internationale des Associations in Geneva brought together UN experts, Swiss parliamentarians, and eyewitnesses to address what participants described as an unprecedented escalation of executions in Iran. The event followed the UN General Assembly Third Committee’s recent adoption of a resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran, passed with 79 votes in favor. Speakers included former UN Special Rapporteurs Javaid Rehman, Tahar Boumedra, Jeremy Sarkin, Alfred de Zayas, former Geneva Mayor Remy Pagani, and several members of the Geneva Parliament. The keynote address was delivered online by Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

In this interview, Mr. Bercow criticized the policy of appeasement towards the Iranian regime, calling for a firm, principled international strategy that treats Tehran as a “pariah failed state.” He also addressed MEK supporters inside Iran directly, praising their bravery and reaffirming his unwavering support for their struggle for democracy and freedom.
Poverty Has Removed Meat Consumption from Tables in Iran
An analysis of global data shows that the people of Iran, due to the Iranian regime’s bankrupt economic policies, rank at the bottom of global meat-consumption levels. Analytical reports based on data from international organizations show that per-capita meat consumption in Iran has fallen to one of the lowest levels globally. While many countries have stable access to adequate animal protein, people in Iran—under economic pressure and the regime’s destructive policies—have been forced to remove meat from their diets. According to statistics published by the United Nations, people in Tonga consume an average of 148 kilograms of meat annually, with Mongolia ranking second at 132 kilograms. Meat consumption in the United States and Hong Kong stands at about 123 kilograms.
Iran Faces an Alarming Surge in Cancer as Environmental Decline and Policy Failures Deepen the Crisis
Iran is confronting a rapidly escalating cancer crisis that has triggered urgent warnings from medical experts and even members of the regime itself. The sharp rise in new cases, the steep drop in age of diagnosis, and the growing difficulty of accessing essential medicine have converged into what specialists describe as “a serious alarm for the future of public health.” The crisis has intensified alongside worsening environmental pollution, declining food quality, the early onset of tobacco use, and chronic failures in health policy. In one of the strongest official reactions to date, Hossein Emami-Rad, a regime MP from Chenaran, Torghabeh, Shandiz, and Golbahar, called on Masoud Pezeshkian to immediately form a national task force for cancer prevention and control. In his letter, he demanded expanded free screening, improved access to standard medications, and strengthened preventive programs. Drawing on data from the Ministry of Health, he warned that nearly 390 people in Iran are diagnosed with cancer every day and around 200 die—figures he described as equivalent to “a passenger plane crash every day.”
Regime Panic Grows as Fears of Another Gasoline Price Shock Resurface in Iran
The Iranian regime is once again confronting widespread anxiety over the rising gasoline prices, a fear rooted in the traumatic fallout of the 2019 fuel hike that triggered nationwide protests and a deadly crackdown. Officials and industry representatives are now openly acknowledging the regime’s failure in managing that crisis, revealing both internal panic and deep public distrust.
Reza Sepehvand, a member of the regime’s parliament, warned that any adjustment to fuel prices must correspond to real increases in household income. He emphasized that when people’s earnings are already far below subsistence levels, any sudden price hike risks provoking social unrest similar to the events of 2019. According to him, parliament will oppose any increase in gasoline prices under current conditions because the economic pressure on families has reached breaking point.
Brutal Home Demolitions Leave Families Homeless in Saveh and Zahedan
Iran regime forces destroy residential homes ahead of winter, deepening fear and displacement among local communities.
In Saveh’s Bijgerd neighborhood, families have been rendered homeless as the winter season begins, following the destruction of several residential homes by regime forces loyal to Iran’s Supreme Leader. The demolition, carried out by regime-affiliated security units, deprived residents of their basic shelter just as temperatures start to drop.
A local resident recounted the shocking incident: “As the head of the local administration, he came to inspect the house. Instead of focusing on development or building roads, he demolished the homes that people had built themselves… Where is a farmer supposed to get another house?”
Ten Days of Hunger Strike: Petrochemical Workers in Khuzestan Confront Regime Silence as Humanitarian Danger Grows
The hunger strike by workers at Seraj Gostaran Rejal Petrochemical in Khuzestan has entered its tenth day, and the silence from the regime authorities has intensified fears of an impending humanitarian disaster. Workers in Bandar Khomeini and Bandar Mahshahr say years of deliberate and continuous wage reductions have pushed them to a breaking point where refusing food became their last remaining form of protest. The regime’s refusal to engage reflects a broader pattern: a consistent violation of workers’ rights and a systemic disregard for human suffering.
Messages shared by the workers reveal a grim picture of intimidation, managerial pressure, sudden contract cancellations, and persistent threats that have destabilized the lives of hundreds of families. Oversight bodies in Khuzestan have taken no meaningful action, and officials in Tehran avoid any responsibility. Warnings about the risk of a human tragedy have been ignored even as the province has witnessed two recent cases of self-immolation—a young man and a worker in Shadegan, both overwhelmed by crushing economic pressure.
UK Defense Journal: Pro-Independence Scottish Accounts on X Traced to Iran’s Cyber Network
A British media outlet has revealed that several prominent X accounts posing as supporters of Scottish independence are in fact operated from inside Iran, exposing yet another layer of the regime’s expanding online propaganda machine. According to the UK Defense Journal, newly available geolocation data on X has confirmed long-suspected links between these accounts and the Iranian regime’s cyber operations, which have poured extensive resources into manipulating global public opinion.
The investigation shows that these accounts, which present themselves as Scottish activists through local imagery, regional vocabulary, and cultural references, were active during the recent 12-day Iran–Israel conflict. For a brief period, they even issued posts supportive of Tehran. Crucially, when the regime imposed a nationwide internet shutdown during the conflict, all of these accounts went silent at the exact same moment—an anomaly impossible to reconcile with their claimed Scottish identities.
