On Saturday, March 13, a woman named Maryam Karimi was hanged in Rasht Prison after 13 years in prison. The Iranian Resistance urged the United Nations Secretary-General, the Human Rights Council, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and other human rights organizations, and the European Union to take urgent actions to save the lives of death row prisoners, especially political prisoners. Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll Exceeds 233,000 Over 233,000 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 522 cities checkered across all of Iran\u2019s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Wednesday. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 61,492 around a third of the actual figure. Due to the criminal and plundering policies adopted by regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani, a senior official of the National Covid-19 Task Force said on Tuesday that \u201cin Iran only 60,000 vaccine doses have been injected to patients,\u201d according to the state-run Hamshahri daily. This means only one in every 1400 people have received one dose of the vaccine, further indicating that Iran is behind nearly every other country in the world. Iran: Protests Continue in Dozen Cities A group of electricity workers held a rally in front of the regime&#039;s parliament on Tuesday, protesting officials\u2019 neglection of their demands. These workers have held similar rallies in previous weeks, protesting unpaid wages, improper hiring procedures, unfair distribution of official and contract workers, and the involvement of contractor companies that are stealing a considerable part of their income. In Gonabad, Razavi Khorasan province, a group of livestock farmers held a protest rally in front of the offices of the Ministry of Agriculture. Due to the regime\u2019s lack of support of traditional livestock farmers and the high price of livestock feed and low price of milk, the farmers have been forced to sell their dairy cattle as livestock, which has caused great damage to the traditional livestock industry. On Monday, the railway of Karaj and Varamin continued their strike and refused to go to their shifts. The workers have not received their wages for several months.
