The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 57,560 around a third of the actual figure. While the country\u2019s medical sciences universities and many regime experts have in the past three days been warning of an increasing number of new Covid-19 cases and patients being hospitalized across Iran, the regime continues to refrain from purchasing the coronavirus vaccine. Regime officials are continuously referring the people to the \u201cIranian vaccine\u201d while it remains unclear when it will be available and what quality it actually has. Iran: Prison Sentence of MEK Supporter Extended for 11 Months Iranian authorities have extended the prison sentence of political prisonerSaeed Sangar for another 11 months for supporting the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. Having spent more than 20 years behind bars, Saeed Sangar is one of the longest standing political prisoners in Iran. It is worth noting that during his long period of incarceration, Sangar has not been granted a single day of leave outside the prison. Sangar, 47, is from Piranshahr, West Azarbaijan province. He was arrested in September 2000 and sentence to 18 years in prison on charges of supporting the MEK and enmity against God, a bogus charge the regime uses to punish anyone who opposes the mullahs\u2019 rule. He spent the first three years of his sentence in Tehran\u2019s notorious Evin prison, where he was kept in solitary confinement and subjected to brutal torture.
