For 30 years, the Iranian regime has targeted non-Muslims, women, and homosexuals with countless human rights violations. They have been subject to arrest, brutality and murder. Political dissidents are also tyrannized and imprisoned.

Religious leaders in Iran, who believe in the traditional Shiite view of separation of religion and state, have been thrown into jail or put under house arrest.


The maltreatment of the Iranian people by its own leadership has worsened this past month as President Ahmadinejad has begun phasing out subsidies of fuel and other vital supplies. The Frontpagemag article explains the effects this is having on Iran, while Stephen Schwartz discusses Tehran’s increased measures of oppression against Sufi Muslims in Tehran for their belief in the separation of religion and state.


Support the Iranian people in their struggle to bring democracy and freedom to Iran, and watch the new trailer for Iranium to learn more about Iran’s brutal human rights abuses, as well as the regime’s state-sponsorship of terror and illegal nuclear weapons program.














Ahmadinejad Presses His Luck

By Ryan Mauro

Last month, Iranian President Ahmadinejad began phasing out subsidies of fuel and other essential commodities, despite popular outrage from inside and outside the government. Iranians of all social classes are now suffering and workers are going on strike, causing the country’s most intense turmoil since 2009.

Over the next five years, massive government subsidies to the Iranian people will be eliminated. The subsidies accounted for nearly 30 percent of the budget, with a household making $3,600 receiving $4,000 on average in subsidies each year. The Iranian economy is in steep decline and is now suffering extraordinary stress because of international sanctions. In addition, one study found that the regime would have to end exports of oil by 2015 if domestic consumption was not curbed. Luckily for Ahmadinejad, consumption of gasoline has dropped 20 percent since the subsidies were cut.

Iran Escalates Repression Against Sufis

By Stephen Schwartz




z
Like other tyrannies before it, the Iranian clerical dictatorship, headed by "supreme leader" Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the venomous demagogue Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, seeks to frighten and intimidate its subjects by identifying a wide range of alleged internal and external enemies. But the Iranian authorities cannot definitively defeat their main domestic adversaries, because there are, by now, just too many of them.

Thus, the Iranian oppressors find it easier to marginalize and persecute dissenting elements that already appear meager and disadvantaged, than to take on the whole mass of angry citizens, or the array of its authentic external critics. While trumpeting a militant menace against a variety of internal foes and the world's democracies, Tehran's despots have increased their specific, real measures of repression against Iran's Sufis. more
