Washington Protesters Demand 'Regime Change Now' in Iran
On Friday, Iranians from more than 40 states across the U.S. gathered in Freedom Plaza, Washington D.C., to join the Iran Freedom March, a rally in support of popular protests in Iran. The demonstrators also voiced support for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the main Iranian opposition coalition which has been calling for the toppling of the tyrannical regime of mullahs ruling Iran and the establishment of a secular and democratic state.
 In a televised message to the rally, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), underlined the desperate state of the mullahs' regime and the need for the international community to recognize the Iranian people's struggle for regime change.

Iran: Political Prisoners Tortured at Ahvaz Prison
Authorities in Ahvaz Sheiban Prison, a concentration-camp-like facility, sent a number of political prisoners held at this prison to solitary confinement, after rounding them up and beating them for protesting against mixing common criminals with political prisoners in the same ward. Three prisoners were badly beaten and had to be transferred to a medical center.
Sheiban Prison authorities separated common criminals from political prisoners after they protested and started a hunger strike. But still, some violent criminals were left among the political prisoners in ward no. 4 and 5.
This resulted in clashes between the prisoners on Sunday, leading to the recent protest by the political prisoners, according to Harana news agency.
All outside phone calls and visits from families of prisoners in wards 4 and 5 have been suspended since Sunday.

The Quds Force Was Behind Bashar Assad's Visit to Tehran, Key Commander Says
Esmaeil Ghaani, deputy to Qassem Suleimani, the commander of the terrorist Quds Force:  "Bashar Assad was brought to Tehran by the Quds force”. "Those who should know, knew, and those who shouldn't have known, didn’t. This was a sensitive operation."
"[Regime President Hassan] Rouhani was aware of this trip, and apparently there was a negligence whereby [Foreign Minister Javad] Zarif wasn’t informed, all of which was their own fault," he added.
Hours after the news of the meeting between Assad and Iranian Regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Rohani was aired, Zarif declared his resignation from his post as foreign minister.
It's worth noting that Khamenei and Bashar Asad met and hugged each other on Monday, February 25, in Tehran, generating a huge condemnation by the international media.

A Valid Alternative to the Current Regime in Iran

A Valid Alternative to the Current Regime in Iran By: Giulio Terzi former foreign affairs minister of Italy The national uprising of the last twelve months in Iran has launched a clear and unequivocal political message, leaving no doubt about the real desire of the people for a regime change. In response, regime officials at the highest levels, including supreme leader Ali Khamenei, have shown themselves to be particularly quick in attributing slogans such as "death to the dictator" and organizing of the revolt to the PMOI / MEK Movement, which has always been at the forefront to end the theocratic regime, its oppressive controls and violent repressions - implemented by the Iranian security and intelligence apparatus - and the immediate release of all political prisoners and for an Iran that fully respects its international obligations and rule of law. In this regard, it is important to underline how the political platform of the National Council of Resi...

THE MEK AT ASHRAF 3

  Ashraf 3 - Albania THE MEK AT ASHRAF 3 INU - Back in 2013, the small nation of Albania began to take in the first Iranian dissidents from the People's Mojahedin of Iran ( PMOI/MEK ) and offer them refuge after the years of hell they had endured in Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty inside Iraq. After a three-year-long transfer process, some 3,000 MEK members are safely housed in special accommodation in Tirana, provided by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. This greatly angered the Iranian Regime, who had spent years trying to assassinate the MEK in Iran and in Iraq, where they were supposed to be protected. Now the MEK, the democratic opposition to the Regime would be able to largely live in peace and safety, which would only allow them to focus more energy on bringing freedom and democracy to the Iranian People. Soon enough, the time came for the MEK to move out of the accommodation arranged by the UNHCR and into their own space...
