"Killing" is not a strange word for the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. "Islam is alive with blood"

"This speech is the statement of the person who founded this regime. "Women" in Iran have always had the least citizenship and non-citizen rights by the government. Not having the right to cover, promote and support her child, nor having the right to divorce, and etc. There are many examples of ignoring or somehow suppressing "women" in Iran. September 16, 2022, is a date that will become the leader of history in Iran. This time, unlike in the past, the death of a "woman" drew people to the streets and the cry of "woman, life, freedom" echoed in the streets and alleys of Iran.

With the death of Mahsa Amini, the "killing" was to suppress the main goal of the Islamic Republic to put to sleep what they call "disturbances", but according to Ruhollah Zam, this is just a "protest". According to sources, from 17 September when the first protest started in the city of Saqqez until January 10, 2023, around 520 people were killed in these protests by the repressive forces of the Islamic Republic. Of course, the exact statistics are much more than these this, but due to the lack of access to information and the families of the deceased, this issue has ended here for now. "Children" and "teenagers" played a significant role in these protests. According to reports, more than 70 of the dead are children and teenagers under 18 years old. Most of the dead were in the provinces of Kurdistan, Gilan, Sistan and Baluchistan, West Azerbaijan and Mazandaran. On November 28, 2022, Hajizadeh, commander of IRGC Aerospace Force at Shahid Rajaei University, while using the word "deceived" told the protesters, "More than 300 people were killed and martyred in these two months because we did not recognize the enemy from ourselves." However, according to the history of statistics given by the authorities of the Islamic Republic, this figure is much higher than these words. In the same interview, he said about the dead that "we did not distinguish the enemy from the outsiders!" Of course, the forces of the Islamic Republic never openly talked about killing the protesters; Rather, they announce reasons such as suicide, falling from a height (Nika Shakrami), etc. Aylar Haghi, a fourth-year medical student at Tabriz Azad University, was one of the protesters in Tabriz, whose death was declared by government officials as "falling at the excavation site", but one of Aylar's close relatives told Radio Farda that she was killed by direct gunfire to her head from the back during the protests. On the other hand, according to the Iranian Human Rights Organization in Norway, the number of dead is 488 and 107 people are under the execution knife. Of course, it was just a few days ago that we witnessed the execution of three protesters of the 2022 uprising, named Saeed Yaqoubi, Saleh Mirhashmi and Majid Kazemi. The executions that caused a lot of noise on social networks before and after that, but again, the response of the Islamic Republic to the public opinion by confirming the verdict of "Mohammed Qabadlo" was stubbornness and stubbornness. Mahmoud Amiri-Moghadam, director of the Iranian Human Rights Organization, said in this regard: "If there is no reaction from the media, people and the international community regarding the daily executions of non-political prisoners, this inhumane punishment will be desensitized and the political cost of the execution of protesters will be lowered for the government." In order to stop the government's execution machine, any execution, whether political or non-political, must be unbearable for the people and the world community." But this time, the methods of killing protestors were different than before; Killing with multiple blows with a baton, using a sniper and shooting with a bullet at close range. On March 16, 2023, the Iranian Human Rights Organization in Norway updated the number of dead for the umpteenth time.

 

The names and details of another 30 people have been collected by the Iranian Human Rights Center, and in this way, the number of people whose identities have been verified up to that moment reached at least 633 people. Among these names, 129 names are related to Bahastan city of Sistan and Baluchestan, who were killed in Zahedan and other cities of Balochestan on two bloody Fridays, the 8th and 13th of October. Among the dead are the names of 80 women who lost their lives for freedom and the most obvious rights of citizens. Some of these women are mothers and some are under the age of 18, such as the tragic death of Nika Shakrami, Sarina Ismaeilzadeh, and Hadis Najafi, Minoo Majidi, Ghazaleh Chelawi, Hananeh Kia, Hadieh Naeimani, Mahsa Mogouei, Negin Salehi, Negin Abdulmaleki, Maedeh Javanfar, Kobra Sheikh Saqqa from the village of Dei Mullai Mahabad, Fereshteh Ahmadi, Parisa Bahmani, Nasim Seddiqi, Naheed Mostafapour, Elahe Saeidi, Parisa Asgari, Shirin Alizadeh, Donya Farhadi and many other women and men who were killed on the way to their basic desires. The first person to be executed was "Mohsen Shekhari" on the charge of muharibeh with the prosecutor's claim of closing Sattar Khan street.

Majidreza Rahnavard, Mohammad Mahdi Karmi, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, Saleh Mirhashmi, Saeed Yaqoubi, Farzad Tahazadeh, Mahan Sedarat Mani, Fereydoun Mahmoudi, Mohsen Mohammadi, Reza Lotfi, Zakaria Khayal, Fouad Ghadimi, Sadruddin Litani, Amin Marafet, Milan Haghighi, Fereydoun Bakhtiari and... The recent executions of the Islamic Republic. An Islamic Republic has not only not backed down on its position, but is increasingly taking the process of suppressing any opposition; This can be seen from the arrest of civil and labor activists and the approval of Mohammad Qobadlo's sentence. The Norwegian Human Rights Organization of Iran and the French organization "Together Against the Death Penalty" ECPM announced in a joint report that executions in Iran last year increased by 75% compared to the previous year. Based on this report, which was published on Thursday, April 13, 2023, at least 582 people have been executed in Iran in 2022, and the institutions and authorities of the Islamic Republic have not officially announced 88% of these executions. What is clear is that the authorities of the republic are trying to increase fear in the society and stop the beginning of a new round of uprisings with many executions, which, of course, considering the anger of families and public opinion, this method is not the answer to the bad economic, political, social and security status.
