We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
We continue the program with a report on “the bill of general amnesty for people who have committed political crimes in Iran” that has been submitted to the Majles for emergency debate.
The bill carries the signature of 70 MPs and calls for a general amnesty for political activists inside the country and immunity for Iranians who wish to return to Iran from any political persecution.
Today Mohammad Salas Babajani, a Gonabadi dervish, was executed in the Rajai Shahr prison. He had been accused of killing three policemen by running them over in a bus during clashes between dervishes and the police in February 2018.
However, earlier last week, Salas’s lawyer Zeinab Taheri had said she had “irrefutable proof” that he was not guilty, and also asked the Iranian Supreme Court to order a new trial. She said that she had found new witnesses who say that the driver of the bus that ran over the police was a young man. At the time of his execution Mohammad Salas was 50. Authorities also rejected Taheri’s appeal.
Later in the program we will cover the latest news about the case of how 42 young girls in the province of Iranshahr have been gang raped.
We continue the program with replying to those who so unashamedly claim that our last week Conference in Washington “was meant to sell our Iran to US” and remind them and their backers that only the murderous regime of the Islamic republic with which they flirt themselves can do such treason, not us.
We will also report on the temporary arrest of Iranian journalist Ali Javanmardi in Turkey while reporting for Voice of America.
At the end of the program we will analyze the comments of Iran’s Minister of Economy about Iran’s economic woes and reveal how this regime is not reformable at all and is simply based on corruption and hypocrisy and so long as it exists our people will suffer and face even more miseries.
Also we will look at the issue of how Mujtaba, Khamenei’s son, together with Ghassem Suleimani are interfering in Iraq’ internal affairs.
