June 20, 2025, the streets of Berlin and Stockholm resonated with the calls for freedom as thousands of Iranians and their supporters held major rallies. These gatherings marked the 44th anniversary of the June 20, 1981, uprising, a pivotal moment in Iran\u2019s modern history, and served as a powerful testament to the unwavering commitment of the Iranian people to overthrow the ruling theocracy. The demonstrators\u2019 chants and banners were not just a commemoration of the past; they were the global echo of the Resistance Units inside Iran who continue to challenge the regime\u2019s apparatus of repression on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To understand the significance of the 2025 rallies, one must look back to June 20, 1981. On that day, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) organized a peaceful demonstration in Tehran, which drew more than half a million people demanding that the nascent clerical regime respect their fundamental freedoms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/iranian-resistance-supporters-hold-rallies-for-a-democratic-future-rejecting-all-forms-of-dictatorship\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"jeg_post_title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Evin Prison: Prisoners Injured in the Women\u2019s Ward<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-333326 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NCRI-Women-Air-Strike-Evin-Prison-min-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NCRI-Women-Air-Strike-Evin-Prison-min-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NCRI-Women-Air-Strike-Evin-Prison-min-1-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tehran, Monday, June 23, 2025 \u2013 At 11:00 AM local time, Evin Prison \u2014 one of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wncri.org\/2021\/12\/09\/the-conditions-of-women-iran-prisons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iran\u2019s most notorious detention centers<\/a>\u00a0for political prisoners \u2014 was extensively damaged in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/iran-news-tehran-hit-by-airstrikes-as-iran-israel-conflict-escalates-evin-prison-damaged\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explosions during intensifying warfare<\/a>, triggering widespread concern among the families of inmates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The blast shattered windows across multiple wards and left several prisoners injured.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The administrative and security sections of Evin Prison were bombed.

The Iranian people soon realized the pitfall of swapping the savage autocracy of the hated Shah, for the cruel, fundamentalist oppression of the mullahs. They realized they had jumped from the frying pan into the fire. A massive uprising took place on June 20, 1981. Half a million protesters, organized by the People\u2019s Mojahedin of Iran\/Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI\/MEK), rose up against Khomeini and against his nascent Islamic Republic and its toxic\u00a0<em>Vel\u00e3yat-e faqih<\/em>, or \u2018guardianship of the Islamic jurist,\u2019 constitution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/struanstevenson\/2025\/06\/23\/the-iranian-regime-stands-at-the-precipice-n2659303\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran Used Drug Traffickers to Stoke Trouble in France, Says Minister<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PARIS, June 22 (Reuters) &#8211; France has evidence that Iran has used intermediaries in the past to hire drug traffickers to carry out activities in France on its behalf and could do so again, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Iran uses proxies that are often linked to drug traffickers.
