The unnamed woman was hanged at dawn on Sunday in the Central Prison of Mashhad, according to the state-run ROKNA news agency. She was the 94th woman executed in Iran since Hassan Rouhani took office as President. The Women\u2019s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran condemned the execution of the 94th woman by the mullahs\u2019 regime since she was a victim of misogynist laws and policies of the clerical regime and their destruction of the economy. The NCRI Women\u2019s Committee urged international organizations defending human rights and women\u2019s rights to intervene and put an end to the death penalty in Iran. Iran&#039;s regime executed four women in the span of just eight days in July. NCRI Blasts EU&#039;s &#039;Weak&#039; Iran Policy in Interview With Britain&#039;s Express Hossein Abedini, of the NCRI&#039;s Foreign Affairs Committee has told Britain&#039;s Express that the Iranian regime has been able to use dual national\u2019s hostages as a \u201cbargaining chip\u201d to deal with the West thanks to the &quot;weak&quot; approach of the European Union against the rogue regime. In an interview with the Express on Monday, Mr. Abedini said: \u201cWhatever the regime says it\u2019s not from a position of strength. If they saw robustness and if they saw a strong action, a unified action, they would retreat from their position. Our experience for many many years is that this regime has faced lots of crisis inside Iran.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s only a hollow threat but it\u2019s, of course, a terrorist regime so the only way to deal with it is not to give it further concessions.\u201d \u201cThey should deal with it as strongly as they say. There are tactical measures that should be taken.\u201d \u201cEspecially putting the IRGC down on a terrorist list.\u201d European governments, unfortunately, have weak Iran policies that are &quot;counterproductive,&quot; Mr. Abedini said. \u201cIt has only affected the regime to a degree to challenge its atrocities.\u201d Demonstrations and Protests by Retirees and Teachers Hundreds of retirees staged a demonstration outside the Labor Ministry in Tehran on Monday. The protest was held despite the regime\u2019s repressive measures. A number of protesters, especially those taking pictures and videos, were detained. Enraged over low pensions and late payments, inflation, and high prices, the retirees carried placards which read, \u201cThey used Islam as a ladder [to enrich themselves], and impoverish the people,\u201d \u201cworkers, teachers must not be jailed,\u201d \u201cleave Syria alone, think of us,\u201d and \u201cjailed teachers must be freed.\u201d The same day, a large number of teachers and retirees in Isfahan staged a demonstration.

Iran Regime Sentences 10 Sugarcane Workers to Lashes for Protests Nine workers of the Haft Tappeh Sugarcane Factory in the Iranian city of Shush were sentenced to eight months in prison and 30 lashes each, state media reported. The sentences were handed down by the 102nd Branch of the Shush Criminal Court. The workers stood trial on August 14. They are prosecuted for attending a one-hour protest gathering on May 9 demanding their rights. According to the Haft Tappeh Sugarcane Syndicate, one of the charges brought against the 10 workers is \u201cHolding illegal gatherings to demand change of management and the release of Esmail Bakhshi\u201d The Syndicate also said that workers had been summoned for charges such as \u201cpublishing messages on the internet\u201d. Earlier, seven more of the complex\u2019s workers were tried and sentenced. According to the Haft Tapeh workers independent social media channel, the judge sentenced each of the accused to eight months of a suspended prison sentence, and 30 lashes.
