Azadeh\u2019s body was not handed to her family for several days. Over 1,500 protesters have been killed during the Iran protests in November across the country. The regime\u2019s officials have admitted killing at least 400 women in Iran protests. The Iranian Resistance has compiled information on the deaths of at least 400 in Tehran, 320 in Kermanshah, 270 in Fars, 240 in Khuzestan, 120 in Isfahan, and 100 in Alborz (Karaj). According to eyewitnesses, hundreds of bodies were taken to Namazi Hospital in Shiraz during the uprising. This information has not been accounted for in the death toll compiled by the Iranian Resistance and is being investigated. The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) released the names of 28 more martyrs of the uprising, bringing to 587 the number of those killed across Iran identified by name among the estimated 1,500 protesters. The Iranian regime has remained silent and is trying to conceal the facts. The suppressive forces refuse to hand over the bodies of those killed to their families. Many of those martyred were snatched from hospitals or streets and buried in unknown locations. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said the regime still refuses to hand over the bodies of the martyrs and brazenly demands their families pay for the bullets with which it murdered their children. This shocking crime is undoubtedly one of the most horrific crimes of the 21st century and by any measure amounts to a manifest case of crimes against humanity, she noted, underscoring that the international community must banish the religious fascism ruling Iran.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>NCRI STATEMENTS:<\/h3>\n<h3><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/27125-mullahs-regime-tortures-detained-protesters-arrests-martyrs-families-in-bid-to-prevent-memorial-ceremonies\" rel=\"noopener\">IRAN UPRISING \u2013 NO. 61<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"uk-article-title\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/27125-mullahs-regime-tortures-detained-protesters-arrests-martyrs-families-in-bid-to-prevent-memorial-ceremonies\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Mullahs\u2019 Regime Tortures Detained Protesters, Arrests Martyrs\u2019 Families, in Bid to Prevent Memorial Ceremonies\">Mullahs\u2019 Regime Tortures Detained Protesters, Arrests Martyrs\u2019 Families, in Bid to Prevent Memorial Ceremonies<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>UN MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY TO STOP CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, DISPATCH DELEGATION TO VISIT PRISONERS<br \/>\nReports received from inside Iran paint a grim picture of brutal torture in prisons in Tehran and other cities in Iran.

Initials reports from the cities of Bushehr, Saqqez, Marivan, and Sanandaj indicate teachers refusing to show up in class and launching their new strike. The teachers on strike are protesting inequality in paychecks and pensions for working and retired teachers, skyrocketing inflation and demanding the release of their jailed colleagues. Iranian Resistance Held 40th-Day Commemoration of Iran Protests Martyrs In a gathering of the Mujahedin-e Khalq at Ashraf-3 in Albania, the Iranian resistance movement held the 40th-day commemoration of more than 1,500 martyrs during the November uprising. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran said these martyrs were empty-handed and defenseless in the face of the vicious and ruthless enemy. Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that the November 2019 uprising dealt a major, devastating, and irreparable blow to the regime in its entirety. Angry protesters confronted the regime\u2019s suppressive forces by destroying the mullahs\u2019 centers of repression and plunder\u2026 It showed the path to, and the prospects of, the victory of the uprisings and the liberation of Iran. Ten More Martyrs of Nationwide Iran Protests Identified The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran published the names of 10 more martyrs of the nationwide Iran protests, bringing to 557 the number of victims identified so far. More than a month after the November uprising, the regime, fearing the domestic and international consequences of a great crime against humanity, continues to hide the number of those killed, their names, and the number of those arrested. The mullahs are desperately trying to buy time and engage in lies so that the massacre is forgotten. Rouhani\u2019s Spokesman Ali Rabii has repeatedly promised to announce the number of those killed. Today, the question about when the death toll will be announced, he said, \u201cThe prosecutor\u2019s office will make that announcement. All of us have to wait.\u201d Reuters Confirms NCRI\u2019s Death Tally of 1500 From Crackdown on Iran Protests In a special report on December 23, about the deadly crackdown on the Iran protests, Reuters confirmed the death toll of 1500 that was announced by the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. Reuters also pointed to the direct role of the Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in suppressing the nationwide Iran protests. \u201cAfter days of protests across Iran last month, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appeared impatient. Gathering his top security and government officials together, he issued an order: Do whatever it takes to stop them,\u201d the report said. \u201cThat order, confirmed by three sources close to the supreme leader\u2019s inner circle and a fourth official, set in motion the bloodiest crackdown on protesters since the Islamic Revolution in 1979,\u201d Reuters added. \u201cAbout 1,500 people were killed during less than two weeks of unrest that started on Nov. 15. The toll, provided to Reuters by three Iranian interior ministry officials, included at least 17 teenagers and about 400 women as well as some members of the security forces and police,\u201d the report added.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>NCRI STATEMENT:<\/h3>\n<h3><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/27123-iran-retirees-teachers-and-workers-in-tehran-and-various-cities-stage-protest-gatherings\" rel=\"noopener\">IRAN: RETIREES, TEACHERS AND WORKERS IN TEHRAN AND VARIOUS CITIES STAGE PROTEST GATHERINGS<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>On Monday, December 23, a large number of retirees staged a protest gathering in front of the regime&#8217;s Majlis (parliament) building in Tehran.
