You can find a lot of upto date and translated (to English) news and articles about human rights and political issues in Iran. I hope you enjoy your visit
I would like to bring everyones' attention to a new human rights organization
کانون دانشجویان مدافع حقوق بشر کردستان which is an organization created by Kurdish students with the goal of bringing awareness about the recent crackdown on Kurdish Students by the Islamic Regime. There is also an English section
As many of you may be aware, in the past few months many Kurdish students have been expelled from University, many more have been arrested and are being held without charge. Also numerous student activists have been sentenced to very long prison terms (8+ years). This new group is dedicated to bringing awareness about this new wave of crackdown and to keep us updated about the latest news coming from inside Iran.
I invite everyone to visit this site; I believe there is a lot of useful and accurate information on it.

Why does IRI chase Kurdish people?
