<\/p>\n
Amnesty International called the death of Zakaria Rigi in Zahedan prison suspicious and called for an independent investigation. Amnesty wrote in its report: “Zakaria Rigi, 21, was arrested in February 2005 and spent six years in prison. According to human rights defenders, in March 2012, a senior Zahedan prison official beat him with an electric baton. He was then transferred to solitary confinement with internal bleeding in the head. The next day, several detainees informed Zakaria Rigi’s family by telephone that he had passed away. According to a source, prison officials denied the news of his death for two days, claiming that he was alive. They then informed his family that Zakaria Rigi had committed suicide in prison.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Iranian state-run newspaper revealed that one of the reasons for Iranians to travel to Iraq is the hope to receive an injection of the Pfizer vaccine in that country. Tejarat News wrote on September 19: “Some airliners are telling that tickets to Iraq are very popular. Some travelers say they could probably get the Pfizer vaccine while traveling to Iraq and attending the Arbaeen ceremonies.”<\/p>\n
While vaccination with WHO-approved vaccines is actively going on in all countries, the Iranian people are forced to accept tremendous costs for traveling to neighboring countries such as Armenia and Iraq to circumvent Khamenei’s fatwa that banned vaccines from the U.S and the UK.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The state-run Hamdeli slammed the Iranian regime’s claims that the recent announcement that Iran is now a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization will not solve Iran’s economic problems.<\/p>\n
In an article dated Monday, September 20, Hamdeli wrote: “This political event has been met with a lot of reactions inside Iran and in retrospect, it reminded the days when the JCPOA was signed and Rouhani kept beating the drums of victory. But because of the circumstances in Iran and the world of politics and economics, some might optimistically fantasize that the ‘SCO’ membership is a factor in the post-American world! That this membership can be a springboard for the Iranian economy and it may be able to open the locked doors of the Iranian economy a little.<\/p>\n
The newspaper affiliated with the defeated faction of the so-called ‘Iranian moderates’ concluded: “While these fantasies may not even work on paper, they may lead public opinion astray. The international community knows that Iran can only have economic exchanges, be successful in this organization, and rely on political and economic cooperation and even political alliances, if it can settle the issue of the JCPOA and the FATF. But political and economic experts are well aware that Iran, even if it becomes a member of any other great and strong economic and political alliance, as the two great powers Russia and China, are now ostensibly allies of Tehran and 25-year alliances, there is no other way than to cross the JCPOA road. As long as this is closed or the so-called JCPOA is not revived, there will be no possibility of any opening in the economic and political world for Iran.”<\/p>\n
