The\u00a0<\/span>Washington Post published\u00a0<\/span>an article<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on June 13<\/span>\u00a0about\u00a0Marjan<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>an\u00a0<\/span>Iranian renowned singer<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>actress who passed away on June 5, in\u00a0<\/span>a hospital at Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Born Shahla Safi Zamir in 1948, Marjan was\u00a0<\/span>one of the well-known Iranian artists and her songs very much loved by the Iranian people. After the anti-mo<\/span>narchic revolution in 1979, like many other artists<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0she was banned from singing. She\u00a0<\/span>was a supporter of the\u00a0People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI \/ MEK)<\/a>\u00a0until her very last days. She was arrested along with her husband,\u00a0<\/span>one of Iran\u2019s well-known movie directors\u00a0<\/span>Ferydoon<\/span>\u00a0Jourak<\/span>, in 1982 for supporting the MEK. Her resistance\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>the regime\u2019s dungeons inspired many\u00a0<\/span>inmates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid the COVID 19 Crisis, Why is Seeking Regime Change in Iran Important<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Amid the COVID-19 Crisis, Why is Seeking Regime Change in Iran Important?
\nChange is on the way and the world must stand behind the policy of regime change
\nOver 50,900 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 330 cities across all of Iran\u2019s 31 provinces
\nNo one but the regime is responsible for this catastrophic status quo
\nRegime officials must be held accountable for this disaster in Iran
\nWHY?
\nThey ignored warnings despite knowing about the COVID-19 outbreak in Iran
\nThe regime misled the public to prevent the virus from impacting the Feb 21 sham parliamentary elections
\nKhamenei tried to downplay the coronavirus crisis:
\n“In comparison to other problems, this is very small.
\nThis can be an achievement. If we have these achievements, the disaster will become a blessing for us.”
\nThe 8-year war between Iran and Iraq was also described by Khomeini as \u201ca gift from God.\u201d
\nThe Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) is the cause of COVID-19 spread in Iran.<\/p>\n

Mahan Air, controlled by the IRGC, continued passenger flights into China well into the month of March.
\nThe regime knew about the COVID-19 outbreak even in January 2020.
\nThe regime was fully aware of the coronavirus outbreak
\nbut the regime’s cover-up resulted in the spread of the virus to many cities of Iran and foreign countries.
\nThe Iranian people believe that the regime is the source of all their problems within the past four decades.
\nAnd they want to overthrow this regime.
\nTime is up for the ruling mullahs’ theocracy.
\nThe Iranian people and their organized resistance have the capacity and ability to bring about change.<\/p>\n
