While the\u00a0explosion in the Tabas mine<\/a> and the tragic death of more than 50 hard-working miners have plunged Iran into anger and sorrow, the daily killings of Kurdish porters and Baluch fuel carriers reveal yet another facet of the oppression and crimes of the corrupt clerical regime.<\/p>\n

Hardly a day goes by without the regime\u2019s brutal forces gunning down Kurdish porters and impoverished Baluch fuel carriers on both sides of Iran, taking their lives as they struggle to provide for their destitute families.<\/p>\n

On September 20, a porter died after enduring 18 months of pain and suffering from injuries inflicted by the regime\u2019s forces. He had been shot on February 27, 2023, and was paralyzed. All four of his brothers had also been injured while working as porters.<\/p>\n

Protests in New York Against Iranian President\u2019s UN Visit<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On September 24, 2024, supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI<\/a>\/MEK) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) rallied in New York City to protest Iranian regime President Masoud Pezeshkian\u2019s attendance at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). The protestors, mostly from the Iranian diaspora, strongly condemned the Iranian regime for its human rights abuses, especially its increasing number of executions, and its support for terrorism.<\/p>\n

Chanting slogans like \u201cNo to the regime of massacres, no to war and terrorism,\u201d protestors expressed their opposition not only to Pezeshkian\u2019s presence at the UN but also to the overall policies of the Iranian government. They accused Pezeshkian of being involved in crimes, including the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran. The demonstrators claimed that under his administration since August 2024, around 180 people had been executed, while the regime continued to support terrorist proxies abroad.<\/p>\n
