The official death count declared by the regime stands at 18,616 around a fifth of the actual figure. The state-run Jahane Sanat daily has been shut down after publishing a quote from Dr. Mohammad Reza Mahboubfar, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force saying the true number of Covid-19 cases and deaths are twenty times what is being announced by the Health Ministry. Maryam Rajavi: UN Should Intervene and Save Lives of Prisoners Desperately trying to prevent popular uprisings by intimidating and terrorizing the public, the religious fascism ruling Iran is issuing death sentences for detained protesters and political prisoners. On August 5, Mustafa Salehi, a detained protester, was executed for participating in the December 2017-January 2018 uprising. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran urged the United Nations Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Council of Human Rights, as well as other human rights organizations and bodies to take immediate action to overturn the death sentences and save the lives of the prisoners. She reiterated the need for the dispatch of an international fact-finding delegation to Iran to visit the Iranian prisons and prisoners, especially political prisoners. Mrs. Rajavi added: The religious fascism ruling Iran must be strongly condemned and expelled from the international community for its continued use of torture and arbitrary executions, especially of political prisoners, and its brutal and systematic human rights violations.
