The mullahs’ anti-human regime has, in recent days, sentenced several MEK supporters on the pretext of waging war against God in sham trials in Evin Prison.
The action was taken because the regime is terrified of the young people’s widespread support for the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and the Iranian Resistance and in order to instill an atmosphere of terror and intimidation to thwart the eruption of popular uprisings. These prisoners are at risk of being executed.
