Скачать или смотреть BEHIND THE IRAN HEADLINES Series: Rising Suppression Is Failing to Silence Iran Protests

Iran's regime has intensified its crackdown on rising dissent in a grim escalation of repression. They are particularly targeting newly released political prisoners and families linked to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, also known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq, or the MEK, and residents of Ashraf 3 in Albania, where nearly three thousand MEK members have been stationed.

Forough Taghipour and Marzieh Farsi, both with ties to MEK, were re-arrested on August 21, 2023, despite their recent releases from prison.
Taghipour had been imprisoned for five years for affiliation with the MEK, and Farsi, suffering from severe illnesses, had also previously been incarcerated for connections to the organization.

As public discontent swells, the Iranian regime seeks to snuff out uprising sparks through targeted arrests and accelerate the execution of prisoners.

BACKGROUND:
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) is a democratic coalition of Iranian opposition organizations and personalities and was founded in Tehran, Iran, in July 1981, as the alternative to the clerical regime, a month after the onset of the nationwide resistance to overthrow the ruling dictatorship. The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), Iran’s largest, most organized opposition group, is the principal member of the NCRI.
