Iran - young men and women flogged after party ( OMG )
Nearly 30 young Iranian men and women were detained in the weekend after they attended a party in the northern city of Mashhad, according to the mullahs’ news agencies.
The so called ‘moral police raided the party on Saturday evening, May 28, at a villa near the Danesh Junction in Mashhad where these young people were enjoying their time.
The state-run Rokna news agency said on Monday, May 30, that altogether 15 young men and 14 young women were arrested at the party and were taken to the regime's court in District 6 of Mashhad on Sunday to face prosecution.
Some 35 young men and women were flogged last week for taking part in a mixed-gender party after their graduation ceremony near Qazvin, some 140 kilometers northwest of the Iranian capital Tehran, the regime's Prosecutor in the city said last Thursday, May 26.
Ismaeil Sadeqi Niaraki, a notorious mullah, said a special court session was held after all the young men and women at the party were rounded up, the Mizan news agency, affiliated to the fundamentalist regime's judiciary, reported on May 26.
'After we received information that a large number of men and women were mingling in a villa in the suburbs of Qazvin ... all the participants at the party were arrested,' he said.
Niaraki added that the following morning every one of those detained received 99 lashes as punishment by the so-called 'Morality Police.'
According to Niaraki, given the social significance of mixed-gender partying, 'this once again required a firm response by the judiciary in quickly reviewing and implementing the law.'
'Thanks God that the police questioning, investigation, court hearing, verdict and implementation of the punishment all took place in less than 24 hours,' Niaraki added.
The regime’s prosecutor claimed that the judiciary would not tolerate the actions of “law-breakers who use excuses such as freedom and having fun in birthday parties and graduation ceremonies.”
He warned the youths that they should be careful about their conduct “since being arrested in mixed-gender parties and receiving sentences is a crime and would create problems for their future education and employment.”
Shahin Gobadi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ) on Thursday said that such barbaric acts prove that 'moderation' during Hassan Rouhani ’s Presidency is 'nothing but a myth.'
'Three years after Rouhani’s Presidency the human rights situation in Iran is deteriorating in every aspect. This also shows the regime’s fragile state and total isolation among the Iranian people, in particular among the youths. The notion advocated by some in the West that this regime has a future is totally naive,” he said.
Earlier this month, the Iranian regime’s paramilitary Basij in north-eastern Iran broke up two mixed-gender parties within 72 hours, detaining 70 people.
The head of the fundamentalist Basij in Nishapur precinct, Ali-Akbar Hosseini, announced that his forces were alerted to a so-called “obscene party” in the city. During the raid, 14 boys and 14 girls were arrested and transferred to a local police station.
A second party was raided on May 20, leading to the arrest of over 40 participants, Hosseini told the state-run Fars news agency on May 21.

Iran - 15 yr old blogger arrested ( by cyber police )
Iran's Cyber Police or as it’s known by initials (FATA) arrested a 15-year-old boy in the central Iranian city Isfahan for his online enthusiasm. He was aiming to launch a channel in social networks.
Jahangir Karimi, a police commander in Isfahan, announced: 'After the final investigation, the 15-year-old teenager from Isfahan was identified quickly and summoned to the police.'
Karimi’s remarks were reported on Thursday, May 26, by the website of the official state broadcaster IRIB.
The Iranian regime’s Cyber Police (FATA) are responsible for monitoring cyber activities. Their most notorious case was that of blogger Sattar Beheshti who was killed under torture while in the regime's custody in November 2012.
Earlier this month, the regime’s repressive Cyber Police announced that they had arrested two young webloggers in Rasht and Roudbar, northern Iran, charging them with “computer crimes.”
The head of the FATA police in Gilan Province, Colonel Iraj Mohammadkhani, announced the arrests on May 3, adding that '[illegal] production, distribution and access to any data, software or any type of electronic devices are regarded as computer crimes and anyone committing such acts will be sentenced from 91 days to one year of imprisonment, or will have to pay a fine of five million to 20 million Rials (U.S. $166 to $662), or both.'
As recently as March 20 16, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said Iran is still one of the world’s five biggest prisons for media personnel and is ranked 173rd out of 180 countries in the 2015 Reporters Without Borders press freedom index.
Shahin Gobadi of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI )earlier this month said: 'Freedom of the press and freedom of expression are non-existent in Iran under the mullahs' regime. Not only does the regime severely clamp down on journalists for reporting on subjects considered sensitive by the mullahs, it even goes so far as arresting and torturing to death dissident bloggers such as Sattar Beheshti.”
“The regime's draconian measures against news organizations have become more aggressive since Hassan Rouhani took office as President in 2013. Several international human rights organizations have attested to this reality,' Mr. Gobadi added.
Iran's fundamentalist regime on Sunday announced that it had set a one-year deadline for international social media, in particular Telegram, to hand over data on their Iranian users.
The official state news agency IRNA reported on Sunday that the decision was taken on Saturday, May 28, at a session of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, a committee on the use of cyberspace headed by the mullahs' President Hassan Rouhani that serves as the regime's IT regulator.

Russia Warns of Risk of Terrorist Attacks in Tunisia
MOSCOW - The Russian Federal Agency for Tourism, or Rosturizm, warned on Thursday of the possibility of terrorist attacks committed against tourists during the peak vacation season in Tunisia.
The agency said in a note posted on its website that according to authorities and security forces, terrorist groups linked to Islamic State are preparing a series of attacks on tourists in Tunisia, particularly Russians, taking advantage of the increase in their arrivals during the peak season.
The note explained that the most likely places in the country for the targets of such attacks are the island of Djebra and the town of Zarzis, part of that island.
According to the note, Rosturizm has asked tourists to be cautious during their vacation and take precautions.
The North African country was the scene in 2015 of three bloody jihadist attacks, which claimed the lives of 72 people, 60 of them foreign tourists.
Striking Mexican Teachers Take Cops Hostage
OAXACA, Mexico – Members of Mexico’s militant CNTE teachers union took six police officers hostage Wednesday in this southern city.EFE witnessed the incident as it unfolded at a checkpoint the teachers set up on one of the main roads leading into Oaxaca, capital of the likenamed state.
The six officers, all assigned to the state investigative agency, were traveling in an unmarked SUV, but the CNTE members at the checkpoint recognized them as law enforcement personnel when they spotted their guns.
The union members forced the cops to get out of the vehicle and pose for photographs next to signs accusing of them of “repressing the teachers” and of clandestinely photographing protesters.
The head of the investigative agency, Jaciel Vazquez, told the media he went to the scene and assured the CNTE activists that they would not be prosecuted if they released the agents.
The agents have not been harmed, he said.
Oaxaca state is home to more than one-third of the CNTE’s roughly 200,000 members nationwide and has been a major battleground in the conflict between teachers and authorities implementing a controversial overhaul of the Mexican educational system.
In Mexico City, CNTE members continued a weeks-long protest to press for the rollback of the educational “reform” enacted by President Enrique Peña Nieto, even as the government prepares to fire more than 3,000 teachers for taking part in the strike.
