IRANIAN communists condemned today a prison sentence of 30 months and 80 lashes handed to a woman for protesting against police violence.
Narges Mohammadi’s “crime” was “to campaign for justice for the hundreds of innocent protesters killed in cold blood by the regime’s security forces over the course of a few days in November 2019,” the Tudeh Party of Iran pointed out following the sentence.
Ms Mohammadi had only been released from jail in October last year, the party pointed out, after serving eight-and-a-half years for “planning crimes to harm the security of Iran, spreading propaganda against the government and forming and managing an illegal group.”
MOHAMMAD OMIDVAR, a senior figure in the Tudeh Party of Iran, tells the Morning Star that mass protests are rooted in poverty, corruption and neoliberal rule and warns against monarchist revival and US-engineered regime change
The Islamic Republic is attempting to deflect from its own failures with a scapegoating campaign against vulnerable and impoverished migrants, writes JAMSHID AHMADI
