-The Message From Prince Reza Pahlavi.

-Its Time To Act.

President Trump, during the recent protests, more than twenty thousand people were killed in Iran’s streets by the Islamic Republic.

The Iranian people look to you with hope and expectation, asking when decisive action will be taken to confront this regime and bring an end to this cycle of violence and devastation.

We believe you have the strength and moral clarity to act.

May history remember you as the leader who stood with the Iranian people and helped bring lasting peace to the Middle East.

-Internet Shut Down For More Than a Week.

NetBlocks, the internet monitoring organization, said in a post on Friday morning, January 16, that Iran’s ongoing internet shutdown has gone even beyond the nationwide blackout of November 2019.

NetBlocks noted that it was only after the internet was restored in November 2019 that the scale of the Islamic Republic’s bloody crackdown on protesters became clear.

Since Thursday evening, January 8, the Islamic Republic has imposed a widespread internet blackout and, at the same time, carried out an unprecedented crackdown, killing and wounding tens of thousands of protesters. The move is widely seen as an attempt to cut off the flow of information and conceal the масш scale of the crime.

-Labeling Protesters As "Terrorists".

The Islamic Republic’s prosecutor general labeled protesters “terrorists” and called for identifying and seizing their property.

Mohammad Movahedi-Azad said judicial authorities are required to identify protesters’ assets and report them to prosecutors. He described the move as “a lesson” and said protesters and their supporters must be dealt with harshly and without leniency.

This comes as the Islamic Republic, instead of answering for the killings and repression, is now openly using the confiscation of citizens’ property as a tool of intimidation and collective punishment, a clear sign of escalating repression and widespread violations of civil rights.
