Urgent Action Needed to Save the Lives of Female Political Prisoners in Iran A reliable report says the lives of political prisoners in Qarchak Prison are in danger. The NCRI Women\u2019s Committee calls for urgent action to save the lives of these prisoners. The Warden of Qarchak Prison, and his deputy have paid common prisoners convicted of dangerous crimes to brutalize and murder Zahra Safaei, her daughter, Parastoo Mo\u2019ini, and Forough Taghipour, the report says. The dangerous inmates have been ordered to incite fights during which they could kill the said political prisoners in Qarchak Prison. The source reporting on this situation also stated: \u201cOn the orders of the prison\u2019s warden, the three women have been instructed not to talk to any other inmate. This is because if they talk to others and mingle with them, they will turn them into supporters of the PMOI.\u201d Read More: https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IranNCR\/ https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy Subscribe to NCRI weekly newsletter t.ly\/MybJ\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>*****<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-e1598946307486\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-e1598946307486.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-e1598946307486\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>*****<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>WHAT ARE THE IRAN PROTESTS OF 2019?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thursday, September 3, 2020, marks the 292<sup>nd<\/sup> day since the beginning of the nationwide Iran protests.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>\u00a0has identified 755 of the more than 1500 protesters killed by the regime so far.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs.\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maryam Rajavi\u00a0<\/a>the President-elect of\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ncr-iran.org\/en\/alternative\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>\u00a0has called on the United Nations to urgently send an international fact-finding mission to Iranian prisons to meet with the detainees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF THE UPRISING:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of uprising cities:\u00a0<strong>191<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of martyrs: At least\u00a0<strong>1500<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of injured: More than\u00a0<strong>4,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Number of detainees: More than\u00a0<strong>12,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong>:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/latest-news-in-brief\/latest-news-in-brief-september-2-2020\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Latest News in Brief- September 2, 2020<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE CONTENT OF THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 9:00 PM CEST Iran&rsquo;s oil, gas and petrochemical industry workers&rsquo; strike *** Two Kurdish women start hunger [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":225116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[130,184,194,197,198,199,129],"class_list":{"0":"post-225112","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-latest-news-in-brief","8":"tag-iran-protests","9":"tag-coronavirus-outbreak-in-iran","10":"tag-protests-nov-2019","11":"tag-mek-iran","12":"tag-ncri","13":"tag-ashraf-3-mek-camp-in-albania","14":"tag-iran"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
