Maryam Rajavi: The UN and Its Member States Should Take Urgent Action To Save Death Row Prisoners in Iran
Parallel to the appointment of Ebrahim Raisi as President and Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejeii as the head of the Judiciary, the religious fascism ruling Iran has stepped its criminal executions in a panicky reaction to the spread of popular uprisings to create an atmosphere of fear and terrorize the public. Khamenei thinks he can prevent the volcanic outburst of the Iranian people’s anger by the escalation of repression and executions, to no avail. The heroic uprising in Khuzestan which has spread to various cities clearly showed that executions and clampdowns have lost their effectiveness.

Iran: Anti-regime demonstrations continue in Khuzestan as other provinces join protests
The regime’s brutal response to the protests, gunning down demonstrators and killing several people, has only added to the rage of the people of Khuzestan, who have seen regime authorities ignore their pleas for their most basic needs. The regime has called in backup forces from neighboring provinces to quell the ongoing protests in Khuzestan. Despite the heavy presence of security forces across the province, demonstrations continued late into the night on Thursday.
Iran: Ruthless force used to crush protests in Khuzestan province
Iran’s security forces have deployed unlawful force, including by firing live ammunition and birdshot, to crush mostly peaceful protests taking place across the southern province of Khuzestan since 15 July 2021. According to analysis by Amnesty International’s weapons expert, in multiple videos including the ones featured in this clip, the sounds of individual shots can be heard, which could be from discharging live ammunition, birdshot, or less-lethal munitions such as kinetic impact projectiles.

Iran and the Vienna Stalemate
It becomes clear that the Vienna talks with the Iranian regime’s current government have failed. And the Iranian government announced that Iran’s nuclear negotiations with world powers should wait until the formation of the new government. This made clear that the negotiations are not implemented by Hassan Rouhani’s government, but by the highest-ranking official in this regime, the supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who has decided to move the negotiation process to the next government to gain the regime’s desired goals.
