Young
woman commits suicide in Iran by jumping off bridge
|
The
woman was not identified by name, but the regime’s state media reported that
she was 25 years old.
She
took her life at 11.20 am by jumping off the 10-meter-heigh pedestrian bridge
in Tehran’s Resalat Square.
In
another case of suicide, two girls who had been discharged from a girls’ social
welfare center in East Azerbaijan Province, north-west Iran, on Friday
attempted to take their lives. One of the girls Rava was saved by medics in a
hospital in the city of Tabriz while Paria died due to her injuries, the
regime’s state news agency IRNA said.
In a
separate development, a 45-year-old man on Sunday doused himself with petrol
and set himself on fire in a public square in the city of Shush, western Iran.
Poverty,
deprivation and suppression in Iran under the mullahs’ regime have driven some
people, in particular women and girls, to the point of taking their own lives.
Numerous
cases of self-immolation in Iran in recent months have drawn special attention,
including the cases of Omid Rashedi, 36, from the south-western city of Ahwaz;
Mansour Keyhani, a retired teacher from Sanghar, western Iran; Ali Akbari, 45,
a laborer from Tehran; Hamid Farokhi, 43, a street vendor from Tabriz,
north-west Iran; and Youness Asakareh, 31, a laborer from Khorramshahr,
south-western Iran. In all these cases, the self-immolations had an element of
protest against the mullahs' regime.
On
average, 11 people commit suicide in Iran every day, the equivalent of three in
every 100,000 people, according to the website of the Women's Committee of the
National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
Iranian
laborers in particular are suffering from poverty, hunger and unemployment
while Iran’s great wealth is spent on domestic suppression, antinationalistic
polices of export of terrorism and warmongering in the region, and weapons of
mass destruction projects or is plundered by the regime’s officials.
As
long as the mullahs’ regime is in power, suppression, poverty, hunger,
prostitution and addiction will continue in Iran. The sole solution to end such
tyranny and oppression is to topple the antihuman regime of the mullahs and
establish democracy in Iran.
Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s British passport was confiscated, along with that of her baby, Gabriella, when she tried to return to London after a two-week holiday visiting family in Tehran.
After being stopped at the check-in desk on April 3, she was transported to an unknown detention facility some 1,000 km away in Kerman Province, the report said.
Speaking to The Independent, her British husband Richard Ratcliffe said his wife was being interrogated daily and had been given no access to a lawyer or to see her daughter, who is being cared for by her grandparents. The family understands she has been made to sign a confession under duress, but does not know its contents.
