INTERNATIONAL LEADERS CALL FOR BLACKLIST OF IRGC

Hassan Rouhani’s government has attempted to portray themselves as moderates but moderates do not execute political prisoners, restrict freedoms of the press or make laws to target women, religious minorities and people of different races. That is what dictators do.

The international sanctions against the Iranian Regime had nearly suffocated the IRGC and if they had continued, then a democratic revolution would have been imminent. Following the 2015 nuclear deal, sanctions were eased, essentially breathing life back into the Iranian Regime

Iran regime plans to blind man with acid next week

Iran regime plans to blind man with acid next week

NCRI - Iran’s fundamentalist regime plans to completely blind a man with acid next week as a form of punishment under the mullahs’ brutal retribution law, according to news received from inside Iran.

Mojtaba Saheli (Sabeqi), 31, who was previously blinded in his left eye by the regime, has been informed by prison officials that he is to be blinded in the right eye with acid next week in Gohardasht (Rajai-Shahr) Prison in Karaj, north-west of Tehran.

On August 3, 2009 he allegedly blinded a driver in Qom, south of Tehran, with acid. The regime’s court in Qom sentenced Mr. Saheli to be blinded in both eyes with acid, pay blood money and serve a 10-year prison term as part of the regime’s inhumane law of retribution (qisas).

On March 3, 2015 he was blinded in one eye with acid in Gohardasht Prison in the presence of the regime’s deputy prosecutor in Tehran Mohammad Shahriari and prison officials after the draconian sentence was upheld by the regime’s Supreme Court.

Mr. Saheli is currently imprisoned in Ward 2 of Hall 4 of Gohardasht Prison. He had been told to pay blood money to avoid the new blinding sentence from being implemented on his right eye.

Amb. Lincoln Bloomfield: Iran regime has ‘legitimacy deficit’

NCRI – Iran’s regime has a “legitimacy deficit” and fears any challenges to its rule and as such is “jailing and executing people who pose a political challenge,” said Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield, a former senior United States official.

In an interview on Iran News Update's YouTube page, Amb. Bloomfield criticized the Obama administration for not considering Iran’s human rights violations as a factor in the nuclear agreement made with the mullahs’ regime in 2015.

“This raises the question of whether the United States has been ignoring one of the most egregious violators of human rights in the world, and ignoring the plight of the individuals who are being detained and jailed and tortured and executed in Iran,” said Amb. Bloomfield who previously served as Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs in the U.S. State Department from 2001 until 2005.

“I do think that there is a refocusing that is needed as to what should be the appropriate approach to the behavior of the ruling regime in Iran.”

Amb. Bloomfield said he does not believe that international trade deals would encourage the regime to reduce the number of executions in carries out annually.
