The nationwide strike by the teachers takes place as truck drives wage their own strike & the bazaar is protesting. The main problem is the Supreme Leader & the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (#IRGC) as they steal the wealth of the entire nation. Thus people call for #FreeIran
The teachers' strike is taking place, in addition to Capital Tehran, in Isfahan, Shiraz, Karaj, Ahvaz, Kermanshah, Bushehr, Hamedan, Sanandaj, Ilam, Ardebil, Baneh, Saqez, Babol, Sari, Yazd & Marivan to name a few. #Iranian_teachers_on_strike is the expansion of #IranUprising.
In many cities in #Iran, such as Isfahan and Shiraz, the students have joined the teachers in support of their demands. In some cities, like Sanandaj, the parents of the students have joined the teachers' strike. #Iranian_teachers_on_strike

 Let’s take a quick look at the atrocious human rights record of #Iran’s regime.

-At least 285 executions in 2018
-110 flogging sentences
-At least one hand amputation
2)
 #Iran’s regime ranks first in the world in executions per capita.

“At least 517 people were executed in 2017, an average of more than one execution per day.”

3)
 In 2015 “Tehran hanged at least 694 people between Jan 1 & Sep 15, the highest rate of executions in the Islamic Republic in some 25 years... Executions have been rising at an exponential rate since 2005 & peaked in 2014, at a shocking 753 executions,”

Today @amnesty called on the UN to establish an independent, impartial and effective international mechanism to help bring those responsible for #Iran's #1988Massacre to justice.

Attn: @JavaidRehman @mbachelet @UNHumanRights @nikkihaley @antonioguterres
In its 201-page report today @amnesty rightly described #Iran's #1988Massacre of thousands of political prisoners as "ongoing crimes against humanity".

 "Iranian authorities are continuing to commit crimes against humanity,"

UN should establish "an independent investigation into the mass enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings which have gone unpunished for three decades."

 Marking October 10th, the World Day Against The Death Penalty, it is worth noting that #Iran has the world’s highest number of executions per capita.

2)
 #Iran is also home to the execution of minors.

“Iran should immediately and unconditionally end the use of the death penalty for crimes committed by children under age 18, and move toward a complete ban on capital punishment.”

 Many years of experience regarding #Iran’s regime tells me when an individual writes a piece against the Iranian opposition MEK, the writer is either paid directly by Tehran or has very strong interests of somehow maintaining their rule intact.
theglobepost.com/2018/08/01/mek…
(2)
 The title & subtitle prove to me the writer has no interest of supporting #Iran's people & their ongoing #IranProtests.
Logically, the only conclusion left is that @BabakTaghvaee is another Iranian pond, telling the world this regime has no viable opposition or alternative.
(3)
 He begins with a complete lie by saying Sec. Pompeo “discussed regime change in Iran” during his July 22 speech & the MEK was not invited.
The Trump admin has said time & again they have no such policy of regime change.

Humanitarian Wars for democracy and freedom are false and lying - 13

The so-called "moderate rebels"

1.
 What was the UN created for?
What was the United Nations charter created for?
What were human rights associations created for?
What was the International Criminal Court created for?

Enough of double standars and hypocrisy. Enough is enough.
