order to prevent any surprises, constantly monitor the news and information on social media and otherwise to acquire intelligence awareness and take the necessary and precautionary measures to prevent any disorder and disruptive security issues in prisons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the regime continues its brutality in dealing with the prisoners, the continuation of prison break outs and prisoners\u2019 rebellions, despite the regime\u2019s utmost readiness and mobilization after the first and second cases, shows that the regime\u2019s control and administration system in the prisons has been shaken. In addition, the factors that forced the prisoners to risk their lives and confront armed forces are the same for ordinary people. These factors, including maximum economic pressure and oppression along with the deadly coronavirus, spread by the mullahs\u2019 regime, have made the Iranian society explosive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coronavirus outbreak a security threat to the regime<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the Iranian regime, the coronavirus outbreak is more of a security threat than a social or medical crisis. The regime is neither capable, due to its institutionalized corruption and need for funding terrorism, nor willing to help the Iranian people to fight the coronavirus. It intends to use the coronavirus outbreak as a measure of oppression, and a weapon to massacre Iranian people. The decision by the regime\u2019s president, Hassan Rouhani, to send people back to work confirms that the regime is not willing to help people and since the coronavirus outbreak has created an economic crisis for the regime, the mullahs prioritize having money in their pocket over containing the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Following the nationwide Iran protests in November, and January, with people calling for regime change and after the unprecedented general boycott of the regime\u2019s parliamentary elections in February, the regime has realized that its conflict with people has reached an irreversible point and the next nationwide uprising, due to the regime\u2019s domestic weakness, infighting and international isolation would result in its downfall. Therefore, any social crisis, particularly at a nationwide level, such as the coronavirus outbreak if not oppressed, will result in a popular uprising.<\/p>\n<p>In such circumstances, the inmates\u2019 rebellions should be considered in line with the national demand for regime change, therefore a security and existential threat to the regime. The regime is in a deadlock. According to the Iranian Resistance, releasing prisoners and ending torture and execution even for one day would lead to the regime\u2019s downfall. On the other hand, further detention and oppression would only prepare the ground for another popular uprising, which this time, given the regime\u2019s unstable situation, would end in its downfall.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ncr-iran.org\/en\/alternative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NCRI\u2019s<\/a> President-elect, has repeatedly called for an international fact-finding mission to be sent to the regime\u2019s prisons, to investigate the situation of prisoners, especially the missing, the injured, and the sick.
