The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 68,746, around a fourth of the actual figure. The coronavirus management situation is very weak in our country and the President has brought this upon us with his non-expertise decisions. There were exceptionally good solutions to control Covid-19, but the President did not act upon the warnings and solutions provided by experts and the Health Ministry. The country needs to be saved from this status quo and the solution is a strong and revolutionary government,\u201d said a member of the regime\u2019s Majlis on Friday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime&#039;s Ministry of Intelligence and Security. Iran&#039;s Regime Humiliates Youth in Mashhad The Iranian regime\u2019s state security forces paraded 34 young men in the streets to punish them for attending the Iranian fire festival, which was heled on March 16, the state-run IRNA news agency reported on Friday. The public humiliation was carried out in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad with the presence of Judge Seyed Hadi Shariatyar, Deputy of Crime Prevention of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor\u2019s Office of Mashhad. On the eve of the last Wednesday of the Persian year Iranians gather to light bonfires in the streets and jump over the flames to celebrate the Iranian fire festival. Singing, dancing, and eating together are also part of this fire festival, known as Chaharshanbe Suri. But for many Iranians, this Persian event goes far beyond being just a cultural celebration. Especially for the young, it provides an opportunity to vent hatred at the regime.
