Evidence of Assassination of Fugitive Judge by Iranian Regime No Motive for Suicide<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

All evidence suggests that the fugitive cleric and former Iranian judiciary official and judge, Gholamreza Mansouri, who was under arrest and investigation in Romania, has been assassinated by the Iranian regime\u2019s intelligence services using their signature methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

His death is similar to the serial killings carried out by the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) during the 1990s and later, and the subsequent elimination of perpetrators such as Saeid Emami and Massoud Dalili. It also resembles the assassination of Massoud Molavi in Turkey on November 14, 2019. Reuters reported on April 2, 2020, that two intelligence officers at the Iranian regime\u2019s consulate in Istanbul had directed the assassination of Molavi. Hesam-addin Ashena, Rouhani\u2019s adviser and former deputy Minister of Intelligence and Security pointed to the setup of Saeed Emami\u2019s \u201csuicide\u201d in referring to Gholamreza Mansouri\u2019s death in his Twitter account.<\/p>\n

Akbar Tabari\u2019s case sheds light on Khamenei\u2019s corruption<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Akbar-Tabari\"
Akbar Tabari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A look at Iran\u2019s society provides two very contrasting images. The more prominent image, the one that is being reflected in the lives of millions of Iranians, is one of poverty and misery, which manifests itself in daily protests of unpaid workers, the heartbreaking situation of child labor, illiteracy, grave-dwellers, a vast market of people selling their vital body organs to make ends meet. If you turn the page, you\u2019ll see a totally different picture, a class of ruling elite and their pampered children, living a life of luxury earned through the looting of national wealth and the meager earnings of poorer classes.<\/p>\n

Systematic and\u00a0institutional corruption<\/a> is an image of the millions of Iranians who fell victim to the looting of the clerical regime. On August 18, 2019, the state-run ISNA news agency quoted Ahmad Tavakoli, a member of the Expediency Discernment Council who said, \u201cIf no measures are taken, several million of people will be added to the city outskirts.” These outskirts are areas that are bereft of any proper infrastructure and services and are inhabited by impoverished people who struggle to fulfill their most basic needs.<\/p>\n
