Update Iran

> It is estimated that around 370 people were killed by the regime's forces in the protests that started on 15th of November

> The families of those killed have either not been given the bodies of their loved ones, have been made to pay to get the bodies and have been told that they could only get the bodies if they will only hold a very small ceremony (no publicity), not talk to the media, no interviews. The regime is petrified that the funerals of those killed and public statements by family members could lead to more protests. However some of the families are speaking out.

> According to some reports there were around a thousand people gathered in front of the forensic medical centre in Tehran, people demanding the bodies of their loved ones.

> An estimated 7000 to 10000 people have been detained by the regime during the protests. Reports come out that most of them are held in makeshift detention centres, that there are being tortured and mistreated and that the facilities are absolutely inadequate

> The regime has said that those in the protest may be exexuted

> There are people gathering in front of prisons in the province of Khuzestan, demanding to know about the whereabouts of their loved ones

> There were protests in 28 out of the 30 provinces in Iran

>Since the tripling of the price of petrol on 15th of December, the price of other goods and services has also risen sharply

Against death sentences in Iran - Friday 22 April

Protest unanimously against the death sentences in Iran

on Friday, April 22!

The Islamic regime is holding capital punishment as the sword of Damocles over the society, in fear of the people's uprising and its overthrow. To confront mass protests of the people, the regime executes a number of dissidents on various occasions in order to spread fear in the society and maintaining its power. The regime has announced that Shirkoo Moarefi will be executed and then came news that it is likely even HabibLatifi to be executed. On the other hand, it is said that over 100 people will soon be executed in Isfahan . These measures are part of the intensification of the current atmosphere of intimidation on the verge of May day, when the people take to the streets. Rise against the regime, the capital punishment and the death sentences in Iran !

The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the most bestial regimes in the world. Without oppression and murder the regime will not even a single day be able to remain in power. We can wrest the sword of the regime out of its hand by a united and global mass protest.

Freedom-loving people!

Friday, April 22 is the day of the mass protest against executions in Iran . Organize demonstrations with your friends wherever you are or participate in the protest action called upon in your city.

Human rights organizations!

Protest stronger than ever against the assassins ruling in Iran , against the capital punishment and the death sentences and in favor of freedom of political prisoners! Join manifestations on April 22! Your support strengthens the Iranian people's struggle against the regime.

Just as the Nazi regime, the Islamic regime is a great shame for humanity and any kind of relation with it is shameful. Demand from your government to end its diplomatic ties with the regime and close the embassy and/or consulates of the regime. Demand that the Islamic Republic of Iran be expelled from the international community!
