Free Iran Rally in Solidarity With Iranian Resistance & People's Uprising
The Iranian opposition is organizing a series of demonstrations in Europe and the United States and actively promoting the upcoming “Free Iran Rally”.
The rally takes place every summer. It sees more than 100,000 Iranian opposition supporters and members of the NCRI gather to protest the barbaric dictatorship in Iran.
NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi’s “Ten Point Plan” defines the opposition’s political platform for a future democratic Iran.
The rally is sponsored by dozens of associations and rights groups who support the NCRI’s calls for a free, democratic, non-nuclear Iran, where there will be no capital punishment, and essential freedoms and gender equality are guaranteed.
The Iranian diaspora has announced mass demonstrations against the Iranian regime in: Brussels on June 15, Washington D.C. on June 21, Berlin, on July 6, and London, on July 27.

Over 100 Dead or Injured Due to Floods and Storms in Iran
In the past 23 days in Iran, 31 people have been killed and 71 others have been injured due to floods, thunderstorms, and lightning.
Iranian opposition President-elect Maryam Rajavi called on the public to form popular councils and give independent assistance to the flood victims. She said that the mullahs’ regime has left Iran defenseless against natural disasters by large scale theft, environmental massacre and wasting the country’s assets in the export of terrorism and warmongering.

Iran's Regime Sentences Journalist to Two Years in Jail
The Iranian regime's judiciary on Sunday sentenced a journalist to two years in jail for "spreading misinformation" and "insulting" the regime's supreme leader and authorities.
Masoud Kazemi was also banned from "media activities" for two years, his lawyer Ali Mojtahedzadeh was quoted as saying by the official news agency IRNA.

IRGC Claims Iran's Presence in Syria Is an 'Act of Divine Duty'
A top Revolutionary Guards commander has vowed to continue the Iranian regime’s warmongering in Syria.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution is not limited to a geographic area, said Admiral Ali Fadavi, vice commander of the IRGC.
“One of the beautiful effects of adhering to the Islamic Revolution is the presence of our youth thousands of kilometres away from the borders of our country, and how beautifully they have achieved the victory that was promised to us by God,” he added.
He said that the Iranian regime’s presence in Syria is “an act of divine duty.”
A few days ago, Fadavi had also openly spoken about Tehran’s support for the Houthis in Yemen in an interview with Iran’s Channel 3.
The U.S. State Department earlier this year listed the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization.

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 repressive agents called for backup and fired shots in the air trying to disperse the crowd, fearing that the protest could draw more protesters and turn into larger unrest. 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. The bullet pierced the young man’s chest resulting in his death.

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...
