As Iran’s nationwide uprising enters its 231st day, the regime has been ramping up chemical gas attacks and executions in an attempt to quell unrest.
Deliberate poisonings, targeting mostly innocent schoolgirls, have spread fear throughout the country. Iranians continue to hold Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and paramilitary Basij units responsible for their suffering.
Anti-regime protests have spread to at least 282 cities, with over 750 people killed and more than 30,000 arrested, according to the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The Iranian opposition group has published the names of 675 slain protesters.Recent reports indicate that two inmates were executed at Minab Centarl Prison in Hormozgan Province, and five inmates were executed in Gohardasht Prison of Karaj. In Neyshabur Prison, one inmate was hanged, bringing the total number of executions on that day alone to eight.
