Thousands Participate in “On the March to Freedom” Rally in Berlin, in Solidarity with the Iranian Resistance and Uprisings in Iran
NCRI, July 23, 2022
On July 23, holding high the banners of the Free Iran World Summit 2022 and pictures of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, the leaders of the Iranian Resistance, thousands of Iranians gathered in Berlin and expressed their strong determination to carry on and commit to regime change in Iran.
Defiant and energized by the Iranian regime’s conspiracies and terrorist plots inside Albania that aimed to silence the voice of the resistance this year, supporters of the Iranian Resistance called on the international community to view the regime in Tehran for what it is and join their struggle to combat the religious fascism that has brought extremism and devastation to the Middle East and insecurity to other parts of the world.

Horrific wave of executions must be stopped
Amnesty International, July 27, 2022
The Iranian authorities have embarked on an execution spree, killing at least 251 people between 1 January and 30 June 2022, according to research by the Abdorrahman Boroumand Centre for Human Rights in Iran and Amnesty International. The organizations warned that if executions continue at this horrifying pace, they will soon surpass the total of 314 executions recorded for the whole of 2021.
Most (146) of those executed in 2022 had been convicted of murder, amid well-documented patterns of executions being systematically carried out following grossly unfair trials. At least 86 others were executed for drug-related offences which, according to international law, should not incur the death penalty. On 23 July, the authorities executed one man in public in Fars province, after a halt in public executions for two years during the pandemic. Read More

NPR, July 23, 2022
TEHRAN, Iran — Flash floods in Iran’s drought-stricken southern Fars province have killed at least 21 people, state television said Saturday.
Heavy rains swelled the Roudbal river by the city of Estahban, according to the city’s governor Yousef Karegar.
Karegar said rescue teams had saved 55 people who were trapped by the flash flooding, but at least six people were still missing.
Iran’s meteorology department had warned about possibly heavy seasonal rainfall across the country that is facing a decades-long drought blamed on climate change. The dangers of flash flooding have also been exacerbated by the widespread construction of buildings and roads near riverbeds. Read more
