As it turned out, the policies and the behavior of the new religious regime offered changes that were limited in style and rhetoric but were much worse than before. Once more, human rights, freedom, and justice were caged, this time by the ayatollahs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewswire.org\/iran-sets-new-record-in-number-of-executions\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-january-28-2022\/\"><strong>Iran News in Brief \u2013 January 28<\/strong><strong>, 2022<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/2077cfe36d0d\/mvlhuta4du\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-246866 td-animation-stack-type1-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png 250w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1-150x50.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 5:00 PM CET Protest Rally of Nurses and Healthcare Staff in More Than 20 Cities Today, nurses and health workers [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":245225,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,182,234],"tags":[277],"class_list":{"0":"post-254972","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-latest-news-in-brief","9":"category-iran-news-in-brief-news","10":"tag-iran-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
