A stark warning issued by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on July 4, 2025, calls for immediate international action to save the lives of four political prisoners currently enduring torture. This specific alert is chillingly corroborated by a United Nations report released the same day, which confirms a widespread, systemic crackdown aimed at crushing all forms of dissent under the pretext of national security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The NCRI\u2019s urgent statement names Arghavan Fallahi, Bijan Kazemi, Mohammad Akbari Monfared, and Amirhossein Akbari Monfared as the latest victims of the regime\u2019s terror apparatus. They are being subjected to prolonged interrogation and torture in an attempt by the Judiciary\u2019s Intelligence Protection Unit to extract fabricated confessions. The regime aims to falsely link them to the recent deaths of notorious executioner judges Moghiseh and Razini, two of the judiciary\u2019s most infamous figures responsible for countless death sentences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/iran-regime-exploits-post-conflict-tensions-to-torment-political-prisoners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Qarchak Prison: Where Silence Covers the Cries of Iran\u2019s Forgotten Women<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-308277 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/International-Delegations-Visit-to-Qarchak-Varamin-Prison-Shrouded-in-Media-Silence-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"International Delegations Visit to Qarchak Varamin Prison Shrouded in Media Silence\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/International-Delegations-Visit-to-Qarchak-Varamin-Prison-Shrouded-in-Media-Silence-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/International-Delegations-Visit-to-Qarchak-Varamin-Prison-Shrouded-in-Media-Silence-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/International-Delegations-Visit-to-Qarchak-Varamin-Prison-Shrouded-in-Media-Silence-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/International-Delegations-Visit-to-Qarchak-Varamin-Prison-Shrouded-in-Media-Silence-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/International-Delegations-Visit-to-Qarchak-Varamin-Prison-Shrouded-in-Media-Silence.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nestled in the barren outskirts of Varamin, southeast of Tehran, Qarchak Prison has become a dark emblem of institutionalized repression in Iran. Ostensibly a correctional facility for women, it has long deviated from any notion of rehabilitation. Instead, it operates as a tool of vengeance, silencing dissent and punishing vulnerable women who have already suffered from a deeply unjust system.\u00a0Behind the cracked concrete walls of Qarchak, the suffering of inmates is compounded daily by inhumane conditions and deliberate neglect. Physical beatings, verbal abuse, sexual harassment, and psychological torment are not rare occurrences\u2014they are part of the fabric of this prison\u2019s operation. Many prisoners are forced into isolation or denied contact with family members, driving them into despair and severe mental health decline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewswire.org\/qarchak-prison-where-silence-covers-the-cries-of\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">MEK Supporters Rally in Gothenburg to Back NCRI and Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Third Option for Democratic Change<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"MEK Supporters Rally in Gothenburg to Back NCRI &amp;amp; Maryam Rajavi&rsquo;s Third Option for Democratic Change\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_uNMPix7JiGI\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FuNMPix7JiGI%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uNMPix7JiGI\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M55S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-07-06T07:21:37Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_uNMPix7JiGI\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FuNMPix7JiGI%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">MEK Supporters Rally in Gothenburg to Back NCRI &amp; Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Third Option for Democratic Change<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uNMPix7JiGI\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FuNMPix7JiGI%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"MEK Supporters Rally in Gothenburg to Back NCRI &amp;amp; Maryam Rajavi&rsquo;s Third Option for Democratic Change\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Gothenburg, Sweden \u2013 July 5, 2025 \u2013 Supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) gathered in Gothenburg to reaffirm their steadfast support for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), endorsing it as the sole democratic and viable alternative to Iran\u2019s ruling theocracy.
