An agreement that led to the Taliban's seizure of power
Without any significant resistance, the Taliban also occupied the capital Kabul. This occupation is the beginning of a new catastrophe for the oppressed Afghan people. For the part of the Afghan population that experienced the brutality and medieval barbarism of the Islamist Taliban years ago, their resurgence in power is terrifying.
Torture in Iranian prisons
Recently, a hacker group, "edalat Ali (Ali's Justice)," published 16 leaked videos from Tehran's Evin Prison. These videos show beatings, deliberate neglect of people in need of medical care, mistreatment, sexual harassment of prisoners, among others. The atrocities depicted in the published videos are only the tip of the iceberg of crimes that occur every day in all Iranian prisons.

Long live May 1st, the day of international solidarity for workers in the world!
Also, this year we are celebrating "May 1st", the day of international solidarity of the working class, while the global health crisis is overshadowing the lives of workers. The corona pandemic accompanied by the economic crisis has cornered workers, wage earners and small traders. Due to the incompetence and inefficiency of those in power, this situation has worsened more than ever before and more than anywhere else.
Long live the international solidarity of workers
On the eve of May 1st, the capitalist world is faced with a profound economic, political and social crisis. Not only has world capitalism failed to return to pre-crisis conditions in 2007, but the continuation and exacerbation of the crisis has put the inability and bankruptcy of this system on show. The coronavirus brought this system to its knees. Millions of defenseless people are sent to their deaths.

Iranian women and the fatal economic consequences of the corona pandemic
The corona pandemic not only threatens the health and lives of people worldwide, it also has devastating effects on all economic, social and political aspects of human society. Negative economic growth, rising unemployment, inflation, poverty and hunger show the enormous dimensions of this catastrophe. In 2019, around 690 million people worldwide suffered from chronic hunger and malnutrition as a result of poverty. That number should already exceed almost a billion people.
Death from the coronavirus in Iran and the need to protest against the ignorance of the rulers
Vaccinations against coronavirus have been taking place around the world for a few months. Several hundred million people worldwide are thus protected against the corona virus. The record of the Iranian government and its institutions in dealing with the pandemic, their dubious statements and promises only show that their "deadly policy" will be continued.
