A 14-year-old labor child, hanged himself on Sunday
Mohammad, a 14-year-old labor child, hanged himself on Sunday morning at his father’s house in Mahshahr, southwest Iran.
His friend said Mohammad was forced to quit the school last year due to his family’s financial problems, and because he had to work as the breadwinner of his family.
Mohammad worked as a peddler, and recently began to sell purified water on a bicycle provided by his relatives, but due to the coronavirus outbreak in Iran, no one wanted to buy water from a little peddler.
Mohammad lived with his elderly parents in a poor area in the old part of central Mahshahr. He hanged himself last morning.

Silence About Iranian Political Prisoners’ Conditions Is Unacceptable
Iran’s prison and judicial system are fraught with injustice and cruelty, and long prison sentences have been consistently handed out to all political prisoners, including those in contact with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Soheil Arabi, an Iranian political prisoner, was arrested in 2013 by Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and has now finished serving his original sentence. However, he, along with many other political prisoners, is being forced to remain in prison as the regime’s Judiciary has extended his sentence.

The evil precedents of Iran’s Khomeini
The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini, has set many cruel precedents in Iran.

Therefore, despite dying only ten years after the founding of his tyrannical regime, one can draw the conclusion that the 40 years of death, destruction and corruption are his legacy.
