According to reports published by the\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">People\u2019s Mo<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq or MEK)\u00a0<\/a>over 1500 people were killed by the state security forces,\u00a012,000 arrested and 4,000 injured. The\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MEK\u00a0<\/a>has so far identified 724\u00a0martyrs of the Iranian people\u2019s uprising.<\/p>\n<p>The second wave of the Iran protests started after the regime\u2019s forced admission to downing the Ukrainian airliner. The regime used tear gas and live ammunition against peaceful protesters. As Amnesty International reported, the regime forces also used sexual violence against the detained protesters, especially women.<\/p>\n<p>The regime\u2019s deadly crackdown on peaceful protesters once again proves this regime will commit any crime to maintain its power, as it has done in the last 40 years.<\/p>\n<p><b>Iran: worst place in the world for foreign or dual nationals\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Staring in 1979 by taking the U.S. embassy workers as hostages, the Iranian regime started a blackmailing campaign. The regime has continued this policy in the last 40 years by taking dual nationals hostage and releasing them after receiving its demanded bargain. The case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is a clear sign of the regime\u2019s policy of taking dual nationals as hostages.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, recent events in Iran prove that the regime\u2019s brutality is not limited to the Iranian citizens or dual nationals.<\/p>\n<p>On January 14, Ahmad Alamolhoda, Mashhad\u2019s Friday Prayers Imam and the representative of the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, in Khorasan Razavi Province, while referring to the arrest of the British Ambassador in Iran in early January, said he should have been \u201cchopped into pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome say the UK Ambassador must be expelled. Expelling the UK Ambassador is the greatest act of kindness toward him. If our people accept for him to be expelled, this would be the greatest act of pardon. No. The UK Ambassador must be chopped into pieces,\u201d said Alamolhoda.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the regime\u2019s campaign and its game of portraying criminals such as its president Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif as \u201cmoderates\u201d and stating that Iran is a safe holiday destination, it is clear that Iran is not safe for Iranian citizens or for foreign nationals, as long as this clerical regime is in power.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gtx-trans\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -54px; top: 1556.92px;\">\n<div class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent developments in Iran demonstrate that Iran is not safe as a travel destination.
