This manifesto consists of 46 clauses and is addressed to the entire Iranian society and the opposition to the Islamic regime. "Decriminalization of all types of non-cis-hetero relationships" and "recognition of the gender and gender identities of non-binary individuals" are among the clauses listed.

In the end, the 70 signatories have expressed their hope that in the Iran of tomorrow, "freedom will be realized for all people beyond gender, sexual and gender identity, physical and mental characteristics, religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, and occupation."   

Torture to Death

Reports indicate that since the beginning of the recent protests, at least 15 people have been killed due to injuries caused by torture. There is considerable evidence of physical and mental torture in the prisons and detention centers of the Islamic regime. Moreover, there are 12 suspicious death cases both inside and outside of prisons for which the regime has denied any responsibility. However, no information is available on the cause of these people's sudden death.

Tolerance of Freedom of Expression; Not the Strongest Trait of Ali Khamenei

The French magazine Charlie Hebdo published cartoons of Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, which did not go down well with the regime and its supporters. The Islamic Regime’s minister of foreign affairs announced in a statement that this action will not go unanswered. In this regard, supporters of the regime in Tehran left writings insulting the French government and Emmanuel Macron on the entrance gate of the French embassy and on its walls. Also, the government of Iran closed down the French Iranian Studies Association.

Abir Al-Sahlani, the representative of Sweden in the European Parliament, while referring to the threats of the Islamic regime against France, demanded the expulsion of the ambassadors of this regime from the European Union. She wrote: "The Islamic Republic's threats just because they don't like cartoons are just ridiculous and clearly show how scared the mullahs are."

Is There A Way Out of Execution?

Mohammad Mehdi Karami went on a hunger strike to protest against his charges and execution sentence. His lawyer, Mohammad Hossein Aghasi, is now banned from legally defending him. 

Mohammad Hosseini also got his execution sentence in the same case. His political sponsor, Nadja Sthamer, wrote another letter to Islamic Republic Embassy in Berlin, showing her concern about his case.
