Iran: Coronavirus Fatalities in 294 Cities Exceed 30,000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the\u00a0<\/span>People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq or MEK)<\/span><\/a>, the coronavirus has\u00a0<\/span>claimed\u00a0<\/span>30,000 lives<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in Iran as of Thursday.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the shocking reports from Iran in this regard,\u00a0<\/span>an article by the state-run Arman daily on Thursday<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>quoting labor children\u00a0<\/span>reads<\/span>: \u201c<\/span>We can\u2019t stay at home because hunger is more deadly than the Coronavirus, and you can\u2019t stay quarantined on an empty stomach.\u201d According to\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>regime\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Ministry of Labor, 409,000 active child laborers have been identified, most of whom work as peddlers, selling flowers, fortune-tellers, and <\/span>some are\u00a0<\/span>garbage collectors. Garbage collecting children are still working these days; they can be seen searching the trash in one out of every five trash bins<\/span>. This happens while in other countries governments are extending quarantining period<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0a<\/span>l<\/span>ong with helping\u00a0<\/span>the poor. In Iran, the regime not only continues its deception and cover-up and deception, it has forced people to go back to work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard,\u00a0<\/span>Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/span><\/a>, the president-elect of the\u00a0<\/span>National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0said:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cT<\/span>he\u202f<\/span>massacre of the brave MEK<\/span><\/a>\u202fand rebellious youth by the religious theocracy has now been extended to the mass murder of this nation\u2019s children amid the Coronavirus tragedy. The only way out is to uproot the evil clerical regime and cleanse our homeland from the Coronavirus and the mullahs\u2019 virus.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The clerical regime\u2019s massacre of young political prisoners in 1988 has now extended to the massacre of innocent children and the general public during the pandemic. The only solution for #Iran<\/a> is regime change by removing the filthy mullahs. #COVID19<\/a><\/p>\n
