Seven people were killed in Gilan province. Five died in an avalanche, and two people were killed in Rasht, one after a ceiling caved in under the weight of the snow, and the other died after falling from a roof. Some reports indicate that the main roads of Rasht have been blocked as well and commute has become very difficult. 50 of the 52 cities and counties of Gilan are currently affected by the snowfall, which in some areas surpasses two meters. According to local reports, there are very little government relief efforts. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran said: \u201cMy condolences to families of those who perished in Gilan, Iran. I urge the youth to help those affected by snow. By wasting our nation\u2019s wealth on warmongering, nuclear &amp; missile projects, mullahs have rendered our compatriots defenseless at times of such incidents.\u201d Two Prisoners Hanged in Adelabad Prison of Shiraz Two prisoners were hanged on Wednesday morning, in Shiraz. Hadi Mahi and Sadeq Akbarpour were arrested in 2016 and subsequently sentenced to death. They were detained all the time in Adelabad Prison. Some 3,800 persons, including dozens of juveniles and 105 women have been executed during Hassan Rouhani\u2019s tenure. Iran\u2019s deliberate use of capital punishment has been a constant source of international outrage and condemnation. According to several independent international bodies, including the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran and Amnesty International, Iran is the leading state in executions per capita, second only to China in terms of figures. Iran also tops the charts in the number of executions of minors and juvenile offenders. Activist Teachers Sentenced for Participating in Nationwide Strikes To crack down on teachers\u2019 nationwide protests in Iran, the clerical regime has been arresting and convicting activist teachers. One of such activist teachers is Eskandar Lotfi who has been sentenced to two years in prison by the Penal Court of Sanandaj. The court examining Eskandar Lotfi\u2019s charges convened on January 27. In another development, three activist teachers, members of the board of directors of the Teachers\u2019 Union in Qazvin Province, were ordered to pay fines. These teachers had participated in the nationwide protests of teachers last year, protesting lack of attention to educational problems, unfair allocation of budget, monetized education and the dire financial situation of teachers. Paris: MEK Supporters Rally to Mark 1979 Revolution, Condemn Mullahs\u2019 Regime Freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the Iranian Opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran rallied in Paris on Tuesday, to mark the 1979 revolution anniversary. This gathering, held outside the French National Assembly, was in solidarity with the Iranian people\u2019s ongoing protests across the country despite a massive crackdown by the regime\u2019s ruthless domestic repression machine. A number of French MPs and other elected officials participated in the rally, delivering speeches in support of the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for freedom, democracy, and human rights. The demonstrators and speakers at this rally expressed their comprehensive support for the Iranian people\u2019s uprising, rebellious youths and the sole democratic alternative able to replace the mullahs\u2019 regime with a popular government: the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h2>IRAN PROTESTS<\/h2>\n<p><strong>THE CONTENT OF THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS OF THE IRAN PROTESTS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>RALLY IN PARIS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF ANTI-MONARCHIC REVOLUTION IN IRAN &#8211; TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2020<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Rally in Paris on the anniversary of anti-monarchic revolution in Iran - Tuesday, February 11, 2020\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_IDIw5m6jHak\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FIDIw5m6jHak%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IDIw5m6jHak\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT3M42S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-02-13T10:31:38Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_IDIw5m6jHak\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FIDIw5m6jHak%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Rally in Paris on the anniversary of anti-monarchic revolution in Iran - Tuesday, February 11, 2020<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IDIw5m6jHak\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FIDIw5m6jHak%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Rally in Paris on the anniversary of anti-monarchic revolution in Iran - Tuesday, February 11, 2020\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Rally in Paris on the anniversary of anti-monarchic revolution in Iran - Tuesday, February 11, 2020 Rallies by the MEK and NCRI supporters in Europe, US, and Canada on the anniversary of anti-monarchic revolution in Iran Freedom and Democracy in Iran Supporting Iran protests and Resistance Units\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>MARKING FEB 8, 1982, ANNIVERSARY OF MARTYRDOM OF SENIOR MEK OFFICIALS BY RESISTANCE UNITS IN IRAN<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Marking Feb 8, 1982, anniversary of martyrdom of senior MEK officials by Resistance Units in Iran\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_I_cb45_oWnY\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FI_cb45_oWnY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I_cb45_oWnY\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M27S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-02-13T11:28:51Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_I_cb45_oWnY\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FI_cb45_oWnY%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Marking Feb 8, 1982, anniversary of martyrdom of senior MEK officials by Resistance Units in Iran<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/I_cb45_oWnY\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FI_cb45_oWnY%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Marking Feb 8, 1982, anniversary of martyrdom of senior MEK officials by Resistance Units in Iran\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"February 8, 2020\u2014Iran\u2019s rebellious youth in Tehran set fire to the entrance of the regime\u2019s public court in district 10, located in Jeyhun street. A large explosion rocked the building at night on February 8. The regime\u2019s judiciary is much hated across Iran, especially as it continues to hold and torture thousands of protesters who were arrested in the November protests. The head of the judiciary, Ebrahmi Raisi, has a notorious background in killing opposition members and played a pivotal role in the massacre of political prisoners during the 1988 massacre. The attack comes on the heel of similar attacks in other parts of Tehran and other major cities of Iran. A few days earlier, the rebellious youth of Mashhad attacked the office of Ahmad Alamalhoda, the representative of regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Alamolhoda is, in fact, the most powerful and notorious man in the regime\u2019s hierarchy in Mashhad. He is responsible for the suppression of people in Mashhad and the murder of many protesters in the city during uprisings. On January 29, the rebellious youth targeted the \u201cExecution of Imam Khomeini\u2019s Order\u201d office (EIKO) in Tehran. EIKO is known for plundering the Iranian people\u2019s money for the regime\u2019s domestic crackdown machine and widespread support of terrorism abroad. Meanwhile, the Iranian Resistance Units, a network of activists and supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), engaged in various activities to commemorate the anniversary of the murder of senior MEK officials Mousa Khiabani and Ashraf Rajavi and a dozen of the members of the MEK in February 1982. Khiabani and Rajavi were longstanding members of the MEK and political prisoners during the reign of the Shah dictatorship. In 1980, Khiabani had forewarned about the Iranian regime\u2019s state-sponsored terrorism. Thirty-eight years later, the Resistance Units have proven that MEK martyrs are not forgotten and the Iranian people continue to honor their memory. In Karaj, the Resistance Units installed a banner that read: \u201cWe will uphold our commitment to the memory of Ashraf and Mousa until freedom is achieved.\u201d In Tehran, Resistance Units installed a poster of Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), that read: \u201cThe sacrifice made by honorable martyrs like Ashraf Rajavi and Mousa Khiabani fills the hearts with honor.\u201d In Tehran\u2019s Northern Highway, a banner read: \u201cThe martyrdom of Ashraf and Mousa calls on rebellious youths for uprising.\u201d In Semnan, a poster of Maryam Rajavi read, \u201cHail to Ashraf and Mousa &amp; their comrades until the day that the fight for freedom is alive.\u201d Similar posters were installed in Tabriz, Rasht and Qazvin. In Borazjan, the Resistance Units installed posters of the martyrs of February 8, 1982, on walls and placed flowers next to them to honor the memory of the martyrs. In Birjand, supporters of the MEK held handwritten messages that honored Mousa and Ashraf and promised to continue their path and support the Resistance Units. An MEK supporter in Tehran sent a recorded message, in which he honored the sacrifice made by MEK members in February 1982. \u201cWe promise to continue their path to the last breath and drop of blood,\u201d he said.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>INSTALLATION OF MEK MARTYRS&#8217; BANNERS BY THE IRANIAN OPPOSITION NETWORK IN IRAN, RESISTANCE UNITS<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Installation of MEK martyrs&amp;#039; banners by the Iranian opposition network in Iran, Resistance Units\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_4wMvEug9MTw\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F4wMvEug9MTw%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4wMvEug9MTw\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M39S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-02-13T11:23:17Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_4wMvEug9MTw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F4wMvEug9MTw%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Installation of MEK martyrs&#039; banners by the Iranian opposition network in Iran, Resistance Units<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4wMvEug9MTw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F4wMvEug9MTw%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Installation of MEK martyrs&amp;#039; banners by the Iranian opposition network in Iran, Resistance Units\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"February 7, 2020\u2014In Tehran, MEK Resistance Units installed a large banner of Ashraf Rajavi and Mousa Khiabani on a pedestrian bridge in the Niyayesh Highway.
