When broken down by political party, this amounted to 85% of Republicans, 71% of Independents, and 57% of Democrats in favour of renegotiation.

INTV’s Pledges Drive for Finances Begins, as Iran Cracks Down on Media

It is risky to be a journalist who works for a dissenting news outlet in Iran. Reportedly, arrests and imprisonment of free minded journalists has been escalating in recent years.

In fact, the Iranian regime is known to attack not only the reporters and broadcasters of independent and foreign information, but the recipients, as well. It is illegal to own satellite receiver equipment in Iran, but millions of Iranians use satellite equipment to tune into banned television networks. Equipment that has been confiscated by regime authorities is regularly replaced. Additionally, countless Iranians use virtual proxy networks (VPN) to evade restrictions on their use of the internet to gain information.

Iran Regime Uses Fake News to Smear MEK

Iran Focus

London, 2 Nov – The Iranian Regime is now using fake news to discredit a female activist and the popular people’s resistance as a whole in order to pit the people against each other and divide an activist family.

Mere days after Donald Trump delivered his speech on the Iran deal and the oppression faced by the Iranian people, the Regime’s press published a false story about lifelong activist, Somayeh Mohammadi, defecting from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK).

The U.N. Expressed Concern Over the Rising Number of Executions in Iran

Iran Focus

London, 1 Nov – The United Nations have expressed increased concern over the rising number of executions in Iran among other serious human rights violations.

Asma Jahangir, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, noted on October 26 that there has been no change in Iran in the past year and expressed her personal frustration about the executions, especially those of juvenile offenders and marginalised groups.

In their statement, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), wrote: “The Iranian Resistance strongly condemns the shocking and disgusting behaviour toward asylum seekers who have been forcibly transferred from Australia to the remote island of Manos in Papua New Guinea, and are in effect being held in detention there, and condemned it as a flagrant violation of the holy asylum principle and other international conventions and treaties.”
