“Among them, as some studies show, about 80% of working children suffer from growth problems, 86% suffer from weight loss, 77% suffer from oral diseases, 73% suffer from eye diseases, 61% suffer from respiratory diseases, 64% have heart diseases, 60% have ENT problems (ear, nose, and throat), 82% have skin diseases and 60% have gastrointestinal diseases.”<\/p>\n

MPs Continue to Express Concerns about the Status Quo<\/h3>\n

Even though the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader’s statements were made public yesterday, warning that projecting and highlighting the state’s weaknesses is serving the enemy, the explosive society is still forcing members of the regime’s parliament to express unprecedented views. The public session of the parliament today, was no exception.<\/p>\n

\"MohammadMohammad Reza Sabbaghian, a member of the regime’s parliament, said today<\/a>: “One of the problems that is common among state officials, is the lack of criticism. We are wary of some institutions and agencies, especially those under the Supreme Leader. Dreadful of being disqualified, we often do not raise criticism. Right now that I’m speaking, I am afraid of disqualification. I may not be disqualified after all, but there is this fear. It shouldn’t be like this. If we fail to raise criticism, the enemies will raise them in an extreme and crazy way in the media, in groups, websites, and other networks.”<\/p>\n

\"MP-Ali-Asghar-Anabestani\"“The bureaucracy in this country is slow, tired, fat, and complex. It is filled with corruption and rent-seeking,” MP Ali Asghar Anabestani warned<\/a>. “The bureaucratic system is suffocating the country, and if you do not immediately want to change this system, it will swallow all the resources of the country and bring the system to complete bankruptcy.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gholam-Ali Jafarzadeh, a former official exposed the reason why some MPs sound the alarm and explained that it is too late to play the public’s advocate.<\/p>\n

Jafarzadeh told the state-run<\/a> Baharnews Online on June 19: “In recent days, some members of parliament complain about the protests and insults that people are expressing against them in the constituency. This situation is the result of their own actions. Those representatives who say that “each individual’s subsidy should be worth 600 thousand tomans, should have stated this when the budget bill was being discussed. Now it is useless to say these things.”<\/p>\n

Glimpse of Iran\u2019s Slaughtered Human Rights in the UN Secretary-General\u2019s Report<\/h3>\n
\"United<\/div>\n

The human rights situation in Iran does not comply with any of the standards set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law. While referring its criminal and inhuman laws to the principles of Islam the Iranian regime, allows itself to commit any kind of human rights violations.<\/p>\n

Now it has become clear that the regime\u2019s brutal laws have nothing to do with God and the Quran. The rulings cited by the\u00a0mullahs<\/a>\u00a0are outdated legal and criminal laws related to the pre-Islamic and the medieval era. It is related to the time in which violent sentences such as stoning, beheading, throwing from a mountain, and amputation of limbs were used on a macro-scale and all over the world, regardless of the religious dependency.<\/p>\n
