A Window to the Fatherland/Dr. Nourizadeh/January 7

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:

Today is the anniversary of the day when back in 1936 the Great Reza Shah issued a decree and banned the wearing of all forms of Islamic hijab by Iranian women.

Reza Shah had a bitter end to his rule, which in short resurrected Iran from thedark ages of its history. When Iranians shouted his name during their street anti-regime demonstrations in Iran for the first time it must have shaken Khomeini in his grave.

Khomeini’s regime has been against whatever modernity and achievements that the Reza Shah rule brought for Iran a century ago.

The Afghans are our brothers and sisters and have played in major role in rebuilding Iran over the many years.

However, their treatment by the regime is disgraceful and only those Afghans who are the ally of the regime in its nefarious actions in the region receive some kind of care from it.

The Iranian regime has been supporting the Taliban and Daesh in Afghanistan and has played a destructive role in its internal politics.

The same “justice system” that has arrested and tortured the trade union leader Ismail Bakhshi has now hypocritically called for a probe into his complaintthat during his illegal detention he has been beaten up and tortured by theagents of the ministry of intelligence.

Meanwhile the MP Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi has warned that the regime’s preoccupation with squandering the wealth of the Iranian people for its regional nefarious activities will one day lead to its fall a the hands of people on the streets.
