Khamenei opts to curb civil liberties over solving Iran’s many crises
Iran News Wire ^

Unable to deal with Iran’s growing poverty, economic crisis, and the COVID-19 epidemic that has ravaged the country, the regime’s Supreme Leader has opted to increase suppression to intimidate Iranians into silence and prevent protests.

In their Friday sermons, Khamenei’s representatives lashed out against civil liberties, including “lack of hijab” and “dog walking”, once again signaling where the regime’s priorities lie.

Ahmad Alamolhoda, Khamenei’s representative in the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi, and head of Mashhad Friday prayers said Khamenei had ordered the police to crack down on civil liberties.

“According to an order issued by the Commander in Chief to the Law Enforcement, one of the critical points that the police have to consider in its operations is countering those who deny sharia,” he said in his virtual conference.

The senior cleric, known for his controversial remarks against civil liberties, said that the roots of “disorder and lack of security” in Iran were actions that were “haram” or forbidden according to the regime’s religious interpretations.

“If parks, streets, community centers, the bazaar, and malls become the focal point for the indecency and depravity of a bunch of promiscuous young men or lewd girls and women, the community will certainly have neither order nor security,” Alamolhoda said.

The Mashhad Friday prayers leader also accused women, young people, and artists of being “lustful”, adding that artists who “freely encouraged vulgarity” would also threaten security.

He also thanked the police for cracking down on protests.

Alamolhoda echoed Khamenei’s praises of the police and said they were the “axis of the state’s power” who implemented the regime’s “principles” and dealt with “foreign enemies and harmful internal movements”.

Rasoul Falahati, Khamenei’s representative in the northern province of Gilan, who heads Friday Prayers in Rasht called “lack of hijab” a kind of “COVID-19”.

“The lack of hijab of some ladies breaks the norms in the religious and Islamic community.

Improper hijab and lack of hijab is a lack of self-restraint and has infected the community like the coronavirus and is intolerable,” he said yesterday.

He also praised the Judiciary and the police for supporting regime-affiliated vigilantes who harassed men and women on the streets for not conforming to the regime’s religious laws.

Falahati also lashed out against “dog walking” saying that it “broke the norms” and called on the Judiciary and the police to crack down on dog owners who walked their dogs in public.

He also called on the regime’s vigilantes to deal with civil liberties and harass dog owners.

Qorbanali Dari Najafabadi, Khamenei’s representative in the central province of Markazi and the head of Friday prayers in Arak also called on the regime’s vigilantes to chastise Iranians on the streets.

“Giving verbal notices (to Iranians) is not a crime, rather it is a duty,” the former Minister of Intelligence said on Friday.

Habibollah Shabani, the “Supreme Leader’s” representative in the northwestern province of Hamedan who also heads Friday prayers said one of the regime’s “signs of power” was “protecting the values of the community” adding that the police and vigilantes “must not allow criminals to feel safe”.

Due to Blue governors/mayors in America, Covid 19 is allowing them to take away our freedom and many choices!

“Gatherings are defined as social situations that bring together people from different households at the same time in a single space or place. When people from different households mix, this increases the risk of transmission of COVID-19,” the CDPH said in a statement.

All gatherings must include no more than three households, including hosts and guests, and must be held outdoors, lasting for two hours of less.

Masks must stay on after eating and drinking

Singing and shouting “strongly discouraged” “do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice),” and wear a face covering while engaged in the activity

“Seating must provide at least 6 feet of distance

Coming to all of America, not just Californicator land, if the ChiCom’s Joe Dementia is elected and makes sure we wear masks 24/7.

The British Army Are Being Drafted In To Tier Three Areas To Enforce Coronavirus Restrictions!

Army and Navy environmental health officers deployed in Liverpool on Friday!

Tasked with identifying clusters of local infections and helping control outbreaks
Further teams will be moved into other high-risk areas within the coming weeks

The British Army are being drafted in to help enforce coronavirus restrictions in Tier 3 areas as the UK continues to battle the second wave of the pandemic.

Five Army and Navy environmental health officers trained in ‘outbreak management’ were deployed in Liverpool on Friday.

They have been tasked with identifying clusters of local infections, helping control outbreaks and taking action against businesses failing to comply with the Covid-19 rules.

It is thought that further teams will be moved into other high-risk areas within the coming weeks.

The move comes after the UK recorded 23,012 new infections and 174 more deaths in the past 24 hours.

The military aid to civil authorities mechanism (MACA) allows the Government, along with local authorities, to formally request assistance from the Armed Forces.

Armed forces were carrying out 32 tasks under MACA on Friday, according to The Telegraph.

Lieutenant General Tyrone Urch, the UK’s Standing Joint Commander, told the publication: ‘We are all extremely proud to be able to support this national effort, and remain ready to respond to all requests for further support throughout the winter period.’

Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire, Lancashire and Liverpool City Region are the areas of the UK currently under Tier 3 restrictions.

Even if his name sounds almost identical... Khamenei will just never have the look of the original Khomeini.

How does one shout ‘at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice’?

Just more of the insanity of what our blue state fascist governors and mayors will do to us if they are not stopped.

You are right. He not only doesn’t have Khomini’s look, he doesn’t have his power either. that is why although he has been trying to suppress all kinds of oppositions but the number of those who oppose him have been growing even within his own circle.
