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.

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.
