AIDS among Iranian child laborers is a staggering 45 times higher than in the general population, the regime’s health minister has admitted.
A recent research has found that 45 out of every 1,000 working children – or 4.5 per cent – have AIDS which the minister described as ‘alarming’.
Of these infected children, 15 per cent have admitted to using illegal drugs, including 4.6 per cent who have taken drugs by injections. This combined with unhealthy sexual are ringing the AIDS ‘alarm bell’ in Iran, the deputy health minister admitted.
Child laborers and street children are those that are forced onto the streets due to their families’ extreme poverty, where they try to earn money by begging, searching garbage, or selling sweets. Their number has risen in recent years as more families fall below the poverty line.
Analysts in Iran believe that the regime spends as much as 40% of its budget on military equipment, its intelligence and security apparatus, its nuclear weapons program and exporting terrorism to countries in the region.
These policies have caused inflation well over 50% and unemployment of 30%. Recent statistics show that as many as three million, or 22%, of Iranian children under the age of 18 are not attending school. At least half of these children are estimated to be in the work force.
The mullahs have destroyed the country’s human resources and through plundering the country’s enormous wealth and forced the people into poverty.
All the problems in the country, including poverty, corruption, theft, and drug addictions are all rooted in the mullahs’ regime and the only solution is to overthrow the dictatorship and establish democracy in Iran.
