The official death count declared by the regime stands at 27,888, around a fifth of the actual figure. \u201cRight now, we are facing an overcrowding of patients in our hospitals. Every day several Covid-19 patients are in the emergency sections waiting for beds to empty. The moment that they are hospitalized new patients arrive and take their place in the emergency section,\u201d said Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi on Thursday. \u201cAll our personnel are fatigued both physically and psychologically due to their work for more than seven months and seeing so many deaths. Furthermore, oxygen devices and CT scans have worked far more than their capacity during this period, and this is genuinely concerning,\u201d he added, according to the semi-official ILNA news agency. NCRI and German MPs Condemn Executions in Iran, Demand Europe to Act On Thursday, dozens of German MPs and dignitaries took part in a rally in Berlin, which was also joined by many online, discussing the Iranian regime\u2019s ongoing use of the death penalty and calling on Europe to take meaningful action on this dire matter. The event was hosted by the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran in which participants strongly condemned the mullahs\u2019 gross human rights violations. The dignitaries also voiced their expectations from the European Union to stand alongside the Iranian people by bringing an end to its failed appeasement policy and supporting Iran\u2019s democratic opposition movement, the NCRI, in its decades-long efforts aiming to establish freedom, democracy and human rights in Iran. NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi was the keynote speaker of the event. Mrs. Rajavi underlined that the record of this regime is entwined with executions, hangings, and bloodshed. \u201cAll of the regime\u2019s internal factions \u2013the so-called reformists and principlists\u2014are complicit in all these crimes,\u201d she said. Mohammad Reza Shajarian, Renowned Persian Singer Passed Away Mohammad Reza Shajarian, one of the most renowned masters of traditional Persian music and songs, passed away after a long battle with illness. Since the early 1970s, Shajarian was among the artists who invented new methods in music and used his inherent creativity and talents to transform Iran\u2019s authentic music and vocal sounds through his performances, while preserving its core principles and foundations. The mullahs who oppose all forms of art and cannot tolerate any other voices reacted vindictively against Shajarian by prohibiting him from performing concerts. They also removed his famous Ramadan prayers from state-run radio and television. In this regard, Iranian opposition leader, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi said: My condolences to the Iranian people, to Iran\u2019s arts community, and to Mr. Shajarian\u2019s family and friends on the passing of one of Iran\u2019s greatest artists. Without a doubt, Iran\u2019s arts community and those who care about Iran\u2019s music will build upon his contributions, teachings, and unique innovations as never before and will add to Iran\u2019s unrivaled treasures of arts and culture. Mr. Shajarian\u2019s vocals have been warmly received in the hearts of millions of Iranians for several generations and cannot be extinguished.
