Instead, the regime forcefully reopened economy and held gatherings. While people were dying due to the coronavirus spread, the IRGC forces were busy spreading terrorism in the region.<\/p>\n<p>In a similar development, Mizan news agency, an outlet affiliated to the regime\u2019s Judiciary reported on Friday: \u201cIn order to promote public security and fight against insecurity, a headquarters will be established in the Public and Revolutionary Courts in Tehran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citing recent orders by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/iran-who-is-ebrahim-raisi\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, the regime\u2019s Judiciary Chief, on \u201cdealing decisively with the miscreants and those harming the security of society and neighborhoods in Tehran,\u201d Mizan reported that \u201cdealing with norm-breakers,\u201d or defiant youth, has been put on the Judiciary\u2019s agenda.<\/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-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When the coronavirus first <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/society\/the-coronavirus-crisis-in-iran\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">entered<\/a> Iran, the regime concealed its existence. To legitimize his regime, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ordered the sham parliamentary elections to be held at any cost.<\/p>\n<p>Although the regime\u2019s sham election was widely boycotted, those few regime supporters who participated became hosts of the virus and spread COVID-19 across Iran.<br \/>\nThe November 2019 uprising rattled the regime\u2019s foundations.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the mullahs were able to oppress protesters, protests broke out once again less than two months later in January, with people chanting \u201cDeath to the dictator,\u201d the primary slogan of major Iran protests. Fearing economic and international pressures could lead to an uprising, the regime tried to use the deadly Coronavirus as a tool for oppressing people.<\/p>\n<p>The regime covered up the existence of the virus, and then continued downplaying the real extent of this virus. Instead of using Iran\u2019s vast national resources, the regime refused to quarantine the country for months, and once it did, it rapidly ended the quarantine.
