Navid Afkari was a victim of the usual frame-ups of the intelligence-security organs and the judiciary of the IR. According to his lawyer, in Navid's case, there is not the slightest evidence to prove his guilt, except for the confessions obtained under torture and dictated by the interrogators. The repressive apparatus of the regime has forced Afkari brothers to confess against each other and accept false accusations under torture.

Navid was not an unknown figure like many other detainees of the August 2018 nationwide protests, but a conscious choice by the IR's repressive apparatus to say that even an international reputation would not prevent the killing of protesters, and that street killings would not suffice but will be complemented by mass detentions, mass torture, insults and confessions and executions.

The report, entitled "Destroyers of Humanity: Massive Detentions, Disappearances, and Torture in the wake of the November 2019 protests in Iran," is based on the horrific narratives of dozens of protesters, passers-by, and others who were forcibly arrested, disappeared, kept in solitary confinement and repeatedly tortured for confession.

Such a "feeling of immunity" from the reaction of society and current laws stems from several factors, the most important of which is rooted in society's traditions and attitudes towards women, which are followed by "normalization" and the passage of patriarchal reactionary laws and cause fear and instability in the will of victimized women in pursuing and punishing the perpetrator.

For more than three decades after that brutal massacre, the pursuit of litigation has continued in various forms and the struggle for the truth has yielded valuable results. But the amount of energy and time spent pursuing the litigation still does not reflect the desired results. It is important to coordinate the scattered work, especially political currents, and to create a single and common database in the first place.

Lives of another number of imprisoned protesters are in danger. We call on all political organizations and civil society organizations to confront the regime, which has made the execution of protesting citizens a means of survival, in any way they can and prevent execution of more of our compatriots by the ruling criminals.

Even if the Islamic Republic intends to get rid of the current situation after the United States elections, it will have to take serious steps to change its policies in all areas, including regional politics and relations with neighboring countries.

We are absolutely certain that such bloody repressive practices will only aggravate the situation, and that they raise levels of resentment, anger, and discontent. This is a dangerous path that only leads to exacerbate matters and does not provide solutions to the chronic and emerging problems that plague the majority of the people.

Now that we are approaching the anniversary of massacre of political prisoners, we can and we must organize and continue a unified struggle for realization of the above mentioned goals.

Uproarious announcement of a multi-hundred billion dollar investment deal, with silence about the nature of this long-term partnership, when the Chinese government cannot even keep its promises to invest billions of dollars in Iran's oil and gas industry, can only be done by those who turn a blind eye to the realities and out of despair and helplessness and drowning in their enemy-driven illusions, hope for a miracle in the "East".

Iraqi Communists, meanwhile, remain fully committed to the demands of the people and the peaceful protest movement, and to continuing the popular pressure, until their goal in abolishing the sectarian-ethnic quota system, and establishing the desired alternative: a democratic civil state and social justice, is achieved.

If the annexation implemented, the formation of an independent Palestinian state and the plan for "two states" project, the foundations of which were laid at the Madrid Peace Conference on October 30, 1991, followed by the 1993 Oslo Accords, will never be achieved.

Confirmation of the death sentences and the threat of further actions against the thousands of protesters who were detained during the November protests and remain in prison indicate the government's fear of other uprisings.

By acceding to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, New York, December 18, 1979, Iran must regulate its domestic laws in compliance with it. Women's rights in the family, the labor market, and the community must also be improved, and the fight against violence against women must become part of the country's education system and all executive bodies. It is necessary to create a culture in this regard by the civil forces, NGOs and experts.

Trump's EO says anyone who "acts directly on behalf of the ICC to interrogate, arrest, detain or pursue any member of the US military without our permission", will be subject to sanctions. He attributed this to the protection of "the rights of the American people" and concluded that "actions of the ICC are violation of the American people’s rights and threat to the US national sovereignty."

It is a move to challenge Trump's "America First" rhetoric which is ​​in conflict with the international institutions and all human achievements and reflected in the intensified US government's imperialist and hegemonic rivalries over the past four years.

As long as capitalist system is alive, as long as profit and capital are in the hands of a very small group of capitalists, as long as labor and nature are exploited, discrimination and inequality rule, poverty and injustice are rampant, the class divide is deepening and freedom is being chained, left will be alive.

The Left Party of Iran (People’s Fadaian) is deeply saddened by the tragic murder of Romina Ashrafi and expresses its condolences to her mother and brother, and calls for an end to violence against women and children. The laws of the IR serve to consolidate discrimination against women and maintain the traditional structure of patriarchy in Iran.

The Iraqi Communist Party launched a mass campaign for Social Solidarity were to provide food parcels to poor and low-income families. This campaign is coupled with efforts to raise public health awareness and measures to combat the spread of the pandemic. Young men and women, most of whom were involved in the popular protests since 1 October 2019, have been at the forefront of these efforts.

The formation of Al-Kadhimi's government thus came about as a result of the current balance of forces, the clinging of ruling blocs to the sectarian-ethnic quota system and external interference in Iraq's internal affairs. But it also reflects the new facts that have been created in the political scene by the courageous October Popular Uprising.

Based on its research and relying on its own documents, Amnesty International confirms the intentional murder of at least 304 victims of the regime repression and believes that the "vast majority" of these individuals were killed illegally and directly by security and law enforcement forces. None of the victims were armed and no one noticed death threats from them.

Workers of small units and their lower strata are facing the threat of unemployment and income constraints and big units are also facing the nightmare of bankruptcy. The middle class, which has long since declined sharply in terms of income and living standards, is now struggling with a shared sense of pain with workers and the masses as living standards decline.

Khamenei's tweet indicates that once again, the knife of sanctions has passed through the bones of the people and reached the empty pocket of the regime. In the midst of Corona crisis, the “Economic Leap” slogan for this year has been a failure. The "Resistance Economy" has become a calamitous economy. Despair has forced Khamenei to speak of the heroic softness of "Imam Hassan Mojtaba, the bravest figure in the history of Islam."

According to official statistics, nurses' wages are at the lowest level among government employees. A large number of nurses work in in the government departments. Even the same low level of wages is not paid on time, and according to the Deputy Minister of Nursing of the Ministry of Health, in some centers, there is a 10-month arrears and 8-month overtime payments.

The Lawyers Association, some law professors, several lawyers' organizations and more than 12,000 lawyers have stated in separate statements that they oppose the illegal process which undermines lawyers to defend people rightfully and independently.

The existence and continuation of the US economic sanctions makes it more difficult to deal with the Corona disease and increases mortality and financial losses, recession, unemployment and poverty, high prices and shortage of medical needs. Workers have suffered the most because of the sanctions. Continuation of these sanctions and the insistence on maintaining them by the US government, increases our people’s suffering.

Science and art are intertwined and together they are the building blocks of society's culture. The Islamic Republic (IR) does not tolerate either, and the sharp edge of its "Cultural Revolution" has, above all, targeted the throats of art and authors. This aiming, was not only to distort it, but also beyond it, to destroy everything that had any sign of artistic creativity and intellectual freedom.

Moreover, news of the virus’ spread and the upheaval it is causing is intensified as it spreads globally and nearly instantaneously. There is no hiding either from the virus or its profound effects on life as we know it, no matter who we are or where and how we live.

The regime does all that it can to prevent formation and activity of independent trade unions. It prosecutes workers’ leaders and imprisons them. There are a small number of trade unions that have formed despite all the obstacles. Their founding leaders have been imprisoned for many years.

To achieve a real increase in wages and to get rid of poverty and other deprivations imposed on workers by capitalists and pro-capitalist governments, requires the organisation of the working class independent unions and the solidarity and unity of the workers’ organisations.
