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.

Iran news in brief, May 28, 2019 Anti-Regime Protest Against the Killing of a Young Man A number of residents of the impoverished city of Zahedan attacked and clashed with brutal plainclothes agents of the Iranian regime on Saturday for killing a young Baluchi man.

The angry crowd attacked vehicles belonging to the state security forces, throwing rocks at them to evade arrest. Earlier, the repressive forces shot at a young Baluchi man called Mousa Shah-Bakhash for not having a driver’s license and ignoring a stop sign.

WHO IS MARYAM RAJAVI? PART ONE

WHO IS MARYAM RAJAVI? PART ONE Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the Iranian Resistance, is a well-known figure amongst Iranians, the Iranian diaspora, and international politicians. Sadly, many others don’t know her story or what she stands for. Even more upsetting, some are swayed by the lies of the Iranian Regime about Maryam Rajavi and her movement. That is why we’re here to set the record straight with this short series on Maryam Rajavi’s life, achievements, and goals. In this part, we will discuss her early life, how she became involved with the Iranian Resistance, her ascendency to the presidency, and an overview of her values.
