As these investigations have shown, we are facing a case of organized state terrorism. As such, in addition to those being prosecuted in this court today, the time has time for the Iranian regime\u2019s leaders to be prosecuted as well. &quot;As I emphasized during my seven-hour testimony, the Supreme National Security Council, presided over by Hassan Rouhani, made the decision to bomb the Iranian Resistance\u2019s annual gathering at the Villepinte, and the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei approved it. Khamenei, Rouhani, Javad Zarif, and the mullahs\u2019 Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi must face justice for decades of crimes and terrorism,&quot; said Mrs. Rajavi. &quot;The Iranian regime\u2019s leaders must be prosecuted and face justice.

The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 47,095, nearly a fourth of the actual figure. The regime\u2019s Health Ministry spokesperson announced the mullahs\u2019 engineered Covid-19 numbers on Friday as 406 new deaths and 14,051 new cases in the past 24 hours, along with 5860 patients being in ICUs. The latter two stats are the highest such numbers in this pandemic for the fourth straight day. Furthermore, 2245 of the new cases have been hospitalized. \u201cFor each Covid-19 death in our country we have 200 to 1000 new cases, with an average of around 60 percent, contracting coronavirus,\u201d said Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi on Thursday, according to the state-run Khabar Fouri website. Iran: Worker Flogged 74 Times for Demanding His Rights Agents of the Implementation of Verdicts Office flogged an Iranian worker with 74 lashes of whip before his verdict was finalized. The worker, Davoud Rafii used to work at Iran Khodro car manufacturer before being expelled in 2012. He was sentenced to flogging for &quot;insulting&quot; the Labor Minister. Davoud Rafii was fired from Pars Khodro factory after he participated the workers\u2019 protests in 2012. In 2017, he staged numerous solo-protests in front of the Ministry of Cooperatives Labour and Social Welfare, holding placards containing contents against Ali Rabiei, the then minister of labor. He was repeatedly dealt with by a police unit based in the ministry. It is said that the Ministry of Labor had offered to pay 200 million tomans to the labor activist in exchange to stop rotesting. However, Mr. Rafii, while emphasizing his legal rights, had said that he wanted his rights in exchange for expulsion between 2012 and 2018, according to official experts.
