NCR IRAN's video: Iran news in brief January 30 2021

Iran news in brief, January 30, 2021 Iran's Regime to Execute Another Political Prisoner Baluch political prisoner Javid Dehghan Khald, who has been in prison for five and a half years, has been transferred to solitary confinement in Zahedan Central Prison for execution. He was arrested in May 2015 and sentenced to death in April 2017 by the court in Zahedan on charges of Moharebeh or waging war on God. After his arrest, Javid was held in solitary confinement for a long time, and was severely tortured to give forced confession. The regime’s torturers flogged him with cables and pulled his fingernails out. In a statement, the Iranian Resistance urged the United Nations Secretary-General, the UN Council and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as well as other human rights organizations to take immediate action to save the life of this political prisoner and once again reiterated the need to send an international commission of inquiry to visit the Iranian regime’s prisons and meet with the prisoners, especially political prisoners and prisoners on death row. Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll Surpasses 208,300 Over 208,300 people have died of the novel coronavirus in Iran, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Friday. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 57,807 around a third of the actual figure. “The number of people hospitalized and seeking medical treatment is rising,” said Minoo Mohraz, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Friday. “If this trend continues, we will probably witness a new increase and a fourth wave in late February or March. The increasing number of new cases and the coronavirus’ spread across Iran is extremely concerning. The mutated UK strain has been seen in Iran and most likely exists, and it may have been here from a while ago. Of course, we are hoping this virus does not spread across Iran. If it does, concerns will only escalate,” she added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
