The activists displayed placards across the southeastern city, reiterating their commitment to the overthrow of the clerical regime, which they described as the \u201cscourge of workers in Iran.\u201d The Resistance Units emphasized that laborers will only attain their rights through the regime\u2019s downfall and the establishment of a democratic republic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A central theme of the campaign was a fierce condemnation of the regime\u2019s surge in capital punishment. The clerical regime is actively using wartime conditions as a pretext for nonstop executions to crush and preempt uprisings. Fearing the spread of unrest, the ruling religious fascism sends a youth to the slaughterhouse every day as its only answer to delay its inevitable downfall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/pmoi-resistance-units-in-zahedan-mark-workers-day-by-defying-executions-and-economic-tyranny\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">East Kurdistan Women\u2019s Platform Brings Together Five Organizations<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-344819 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCRI-Women_Five-Kurdish-Womens-Organizations-Unite-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCRI-Women_Five-Kurdish-Womens-Organizations-Unite-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCRI-Women_Five-Kurdish-Womens-Organizations-Unite-1-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Five Kurdish women\u2019s organizations have established the \u201cEast Kurdistan Women\u2019s Platform \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wncri.org\/2024\/09\/16\/mahsa-amini-cover-up\/\">Ji<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wncri.org\/2024\/09\/16\/mahsa-amini-cover-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wncri.org\/2024\/09\/16\/mahsa-amini-cover-up\/\">a<\/a>\u201d as a civil-national umbrella platform advocating for dignity, freedom, equality, and women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The organizations that have united for cooperation are:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Kurdistan Women\u2019s Freedom Organization (Nina)<\/li>\n<li>Kurdistan Women\u2019s Horizon \u2013 Komala Women\u2019s Organization<\/li>\n<li>Khabat Women\u2019s Organization of Iranian Kurdistan<\/li>\n<li>Kurdistan Democratic Women\u2019s Union<\/li>\n<li>Free Women\u2019s Society of East Kurdistan \u2013 KJAR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a joint statement published on April 30, 2026, they announced that the main goals of the Jina Platform are to unite the national will of women, strengthen women\u2019s position in society, confront occupiers and systematic oppression against women, and enrich the civil-political struggle of women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wncri.org\/2026\/05\/02\/east-kurdistan-womens-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">IRGC-Linked Propaganda Network Operating Freely in the UK Raises National Security Concerns<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"956\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-344821 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/uk-embassy-in-london.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/uk-embassy-in-london.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/uk-embassy-in-london-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"956\">A recent investigation by\u00a0<em data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"713\">The Telegraph<\/em>\u00a0has revealed that a propaganda network linked to Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is operating openly within the United Kingdom, raising serious concerns among British officials about national security and regulatory oversight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1382\">According to the report, UK government ministers have been warned that the Iranian regime-backed media operation poses a tangible threat to national security and should be urgently addressed.
