Iran’s Regime Wages War on Dissent with a New Wave of Death Sentences
The Iranian regime, cornered by a crisis of legitimacy and terrified by the Iranian people’s growing spirit of defiance, has unleashed a new wave of terror against political prisoners and activists. In a clear sign of desperation, the clerical regime’s judiciary is rapidly issuing and upholding death sentences against political prisoners, especially supporters of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), in a frantic attempt to silence dissent. The recent cases of Zahra Tabari, Ehsan Faridi, and Manouchehr Fallah are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic campaign of murder aimed at intimidating a nation on the brink of change.
Narges Ahmadi Executed in Qom Central Prison
In the early hours of Saturday, October 25, 2025, Narges Ahmadi, a female prisoner, was executed in Qom Central Prison. She had previously been sentenced to death by Iran’s judiciary on charges of “premeditated murder.” As of the time of this report, no official or judiciary-affiliated media outlets have released any information regarding the execution of Narges Ahmadi. With the execution of Narges Ahmadi, the number of women executed in Iran since the beginning of 2025 has reached 44, marking an unprecedented record in the execution of women in Iran.

Ayoub Porkar, Former Pilot and Political Prisoner in the Hell of Sheiban Prison
Ayoub Porkar, one of Iran’s longest-held political prisoners and a former Air Force pilot, was transferred from Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz to a hospital on October 23, 2025, after suffering a severe abdominal hernia and chronic knee pain. Sources close to his family confirmed that the transfer occurred only after weeks of delay, during which his life was in danger due to the risk of hernia rupture. Human rights activists have warned that such deliberate medical neglect amounts to a form of prolonged torture widely practiced against political detainees in Iran. Born in 1955 in the village of Pirlouheh near Tabriz, Porkar served as a fighter pilot in the Iranian Air Force before being expelled from service for expressing opposition to the clerical regime.
Iran’s Economic Decline Deepens Nutrition and Health Concerns
Ahmad Esmaeilzadeh, Director General of the Community Nutrition Improvement Office at the Ministry of Health, announced that around 400,000 to 420,000 deaths occur annually in Iran. According to this official statistic, about 35 percent of these deaths—equivalent to 120,000 to 130,000 people—are directly related to nutrition and food insecurity. These figures, released by the Ministry of Health, illustrate the depth of Iran’s public health crisis caused by inadequate diets and weak household livelihoods. According to data published by the Ministry of Health, unhealthy eating habits account for nearly one-third of annual deaths in the country. Detailed analysis by the ministry shows that insufficient intake of essential food groups, obesity, and diet-related diseases are among the main causes of these fatalities.
The Regime’s Controlled Media and the Deepening Class Divide in Iran
One of the most powerful driving forces behind Iran’s 1979 revolution was the explosive growth of class inequality. As the Shah’s political repression intensified through SAVAK, economic disparity and poverty also deepened. Media outlets of that era routinely published statistics about social inequality, but under censorship and state control, they never dared to reveal the real causes or those responsible for it. More than four decades later, the same cycle continues under the current regime. Iran’s state-controlled media are filled daily with statistics about poverty, unemployment, and social decay — yet they remain silent about the institutions and individuals behind these injustices. Despite countless reports, nothing changes.
