Behind the Headlines/March 1

In tonight’s program from our studios in London we will look at the reasons behind Mohammad Javad Zarif’s resignation as the regime’s Foreign Minister, as well as the future of relations between the Iranian and Assad’s regime.

We will also look at the money laundering practices in Iran and the region.

Our guests tonight are Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh and Dr. Ghasem Shole Sadee.

We are also very sorry to announce the sudden deaths of Khashayar Alvand and Dr. Sadeghi and offer our sincere condolences to their families.

Dr. Ghasem Shole Sadee:

Sadly the death rate among our young people has risen and the situation among our women prisoners is seriously bad.

I stayed in Hassnabad Fashafoyeh prison recently and it is packed with drug addicts and criminals and has very little hygiene facilities. Later I was transferred to the Revolutionary Guard’s prison and kept in solitary confinement for 8 days.

All along we were being held with our hands and feet kept in chain and later were sent to Evin prison in which even the simplest medicines for cold and flu were scare.

Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:

I remember that before the revolution Mr Seyed Hadi Khosroshahi had suffered a heart attack and the late ayatollah Shariatmadari had paid for his treatment abroad.

Even the Empress Farah had paid for the cost of treatment of the late poet Ahmad Shamlou despite his opposition to the Shah’s regime.

But today we are facing a different type of regime in Iran where the slightest headache of a mullah is treated in best European hospitals but millions of Iranians are suffering from many different diseases as a result of the social and environmental woes of the country but have no access to proper medical care or drugs because of the sanctions.

The regime has also sent hundreds of its propagandists to many countries around the world at the cost of the Iranianpeople to propagate its vile ideology.
