Sixty of the protest actions involved workers, and 136 cases involved students and faculties of the universities.
In the first three months of the Iranian calendar, starting March 21, more than 1250 cases of demonstrations, protests and uprisings by the Iranian people have been recorded.
In June, 35 death sentences were handed down by the mullahs’ judiciary, and 27 have been carried out. Among the victims, five women and two 18-year-old youths were reported. According to the official count in the same period, there were 5800 arrests made on bogus charges.
The growth in number of uprisings in the Azeri provinces was such that hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets. The situation in other provinces was not any different; the situation in Sistan and Baluchistan, Kurdistan, Khuzestan, and Kerman are very critical and the leaders of the Iranian regime from top to bottom are introducing different measures to combat the threats.
