Image
Maryam Rajavi calls on all Iranians and particularly the youth to rush to the aid of the victims of the flash floods With more  rain forecast , the situation for many Iranian struggling in the wake of the country’s devastating flooding last month is showing no signs of improvement. The provinces of Khuzestan, Lorestan, and Ilam were among the worst affected, with cities and villages succumbing to the rising floodwaters. Despite  more than 200 Iranians  perishing in the disaster, the clerical regime has done little to offer support to the victims.

August 30, 2017 --  The families of political prisoners executed in the 1980s have appealed to the  United Nations  to publicize the truth about one of the Islamic Republic’s most horrific crimes against its people.
