The official death count declared by the regime stands at 28,816, around a fifth of the actual figure. The regime\u2019s Health Ministry spokesperson announced the mullahs\u2019 engineered Covid-19 numbers on Sunday as 272 deaths and 4533 patients in dire conditions. These are record numbers since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and unprecedented during the past eight months. Iran: The Number of Women Executed Under Rouhani Reaches 109 The number of women executed in Iran during Hassan Rouhani\u2019s tenure as the mullahs\u2019 president reaches 109. The clerical regime\u2019s Judiciary carried out the execution of yet another desperate woman at dawn on Sunday, October 11, 2020, in the Central Prison of Mashhad. The desperate woman identified as Razieh, 37, was on the death row for four years. The mullahs\u2019 Judiciary hanged Mahtab Shafii, at dawn on September 23, in Gohardasht Prison in Karaj. More than 4300 people have been executed in Iran during Rouhani\u2019s tenure. They include 109 women and at least 38 juvenile offenders. The actual number of executions and particularly the execution of women is much higher. The clerical regime carries out most executions in secret and out of the public eye. Iranians Mourn Legendary Singer Shajarian Thousands of Iranians gathered outside Tehran\u2019s Jam Hospital on Friday night after it was announced that legendary Iranian singer and composer, Mohammad-Reza Shajarian passed away from kidney cancer at the age of 80. The iconic vocalist master of Persian traditional music was known for publicly speaking out against the regime\u2019s brutal suppression of the 2009 nationwide protests and for his anti-regime rhetoric. The large crowds that gathered outside Jam Hospital last night chanted \u201cdeath to the dictator\u201d echoing Shajarian\u2019s own chant during the 2009 protests. The video showing Shajarian in his car holding up a peace sign while saying \u201cdeath to the dictator\u201d during the protests was widely circulated on social media. People also chanted against state-run TV and radio which had banned his image and voice until his death yesterday. Reports and videos indicate that a large number of security forces attacked people on Friday beating them with batons. Several people were also arrested.
