The horrible fate of working children in Iran Analysis by PMOI/MEK Iran, Nov. 12, 2018  - 24 years ago, Iran signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child and has been ever since a party to it. But like many other promises and laws in Iran, the rights of children are only a shallow promise in this country. Witnessing children under the age of 14 selling all sorts of things on the side of the street is quite common. Child labor is also used in workshops, traditional brick factories, or in weaving traditional Persian rugs. According to the UNCRC, which sets out the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children, child labor is defined by two main parameters: Type of labor and the minimum appropriate age for that type of labor. In general, a type of work is considered child labor if it hinders the physical, mental, social, moral, or character health of a child. The appropriate age for any given type of labor is measured by its impact on the

MARYAM RAJAVI’S FIGHT AGAINST FUNDAMENTALISM INU- The people of Iran are currently suffering under a fundamentalist government, which acts as a model for other fundamentalist groups to follow and has become the number one source for terrorism and war in the Middle East and around the world. However, there is a great solution to the Iranian regime and the problems that they cause, which is increasing support for Maryam Rajavi and the Iranian Resistance. Maryam Rajavi is the president-elect of the Iranian Resistance, who opposes the fundamentalism of the mullahs and wants to bring freedom and democracy to Iran. In a statement published on her  website , Maryam Rajavi makes it clear that the conflict between fundamentalism and freedom is not a matter of religion or an East v West situation. Instead, fundamentalism is the result of a dictatorship that subjugates and oppresses its people. Maryam Rajavi makes it clear that this is in no way something that is inherent in the Iranian

MARYAM RAJAVI AND THE PEOPLE'S MOJAHEDIN ORGANIZATION OF IRAN (PMOI/MEK) INSIDE IRAN INU- Members of the Resistance Units linked to the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) are expanding their activities inside Iran. Resistance units, make up the vast PMOI/MEK network inside the country, and are continuing their recent activities, including displaying their praise for Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), in the Iranian capital. In Tehran, members of a resistance unit distributed leaflets with Maryam Rajavi’s image on them, along with information regarding the ten-point plan for a future Iran. Also in Tehran, resistance units #511, #913, #302, and #280, were seen carrying out similar measures in the capital. This is extremely dangerous, as the Iranian regime considers support for the PMOI/MEK punishable by death. Still, more people across Tehran and throughout

MARYAM RAJAVI AND THE FIGHT FOR SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND STATE IN IRAN INU- The Iranian Regime is a theocracy based on a mutilated version of Shiite Islam, which punishes people for not adhering strictly to the state religion. This is not how Iran should be and it is not how Shiite Islam is supposed to be practised. True Islam, as Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, notes, bears hardly any resemblance to the bastardised version practised by the mullahs. Maryam Rajavi has spent the past 50 years fighting for a secular, democratic Iran and has outlined the need for the separation of religion and state in Iran in countless speeches and writings. Here, we shall summarise Maryam Rajavi’s points. Rejection of compulsory religion Maryam Rajavi explains that there is no place for compulsory religion in a modern society and notes that the medieval Sharia laws, the excommunication of opponents, and despotism dressed up as religion are actually violations

Facebook removes 82 fake pages, groups and accounts tied to Iran 1 million US and British followers were victims of disinformation activity Washington: Facebook Inc said on Friday it had deleted accounts originating in Iran that attracted more than 1 million US and British followers, its latest effort to combat disinformation activity on its platform. Social media companies are struggling to stop attempts by people inside and outside the United States to spread false information on their platforms with goals ranging from destabilising elections by stoking hardline positions to supporting propaganda campaigns. The fake Facebook accounts originating in Iran mostly targeted American liberals, according to the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, a think-tank that works with Facebook to study propaganda online. Facebook said it removed 82 pages, groups and accounts on Facebook and Instagram that represented themselves as being American or British citi

ANALYSIS: Why Iran’s truckers strike is not an isolated incident Iran is faced with a second round of truckers’ strikes this year. It has spread to 290 cities in 31 provinces across the country. Last round of truckers’ strike was in late July and early August. The demands remain the same because the Iranian regime is offering them a bunch of empty promises. The regime wants the truckers to break their strike and it has made hundreds of arrests so far. Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, the regime’s Chief Prosecutor General said on September 29th: “According to the information we have, in some routes, some of the cities, there are elements who are provoking some of the truckers, or possibly blocking them and creating problems for them.
