Head of Public Relations of Kermanshah Public Prosecution Office, Mehdi Qannadi, says the prisoners who take part in the cleaning operations of Bisotoon monument compound in the city of Kermanshah in Western Iran will be given an alternative sentence.

“Bisotoon Court began to study the idea of alternative sentences for prisoners after receiving massive public demands and publishing of great number of reports on the accumulations of construction waste near the compounds of the historical monuments in the province,” Qannadi said, as quoted in a Farsi report by ISNA.

He went on saying the court has already issued a new ruling saying any prisoner taking part in the cleaning operations will be subjected to the new ruling.

According to Qannadi, the ruling has already been implemented for some prisoners.

Safavid Bridge and Parthian Slope are two historical monuments which have been registered as national heritage in Kermanshah province. But unfortunately, the two monuments have recently turned into places for disposal of construction waste.

Iran President Urges Islamic States to Tap into Scientific Potential

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has mentioned several key issues in an address to the first Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit on science and technology in the Kazakh capital, Astana. The highlights of his speech are as follows:

Despite having vast oil and gas reserves, Iran seeks to wean its economy off natural resources and move toward creating an economy dependent on productivity and innovation. With such potentialities, I’m telling you on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran that we have come to this summit for peace, coexistence and further cooperation with you friendly and brotherly states.

We have come here to say that “we can,” and that we should draw on science and technology as well as scientific diplomacy to seek common ground in order to further boost our capabilities and create complementary potentialities in the Muslim world.

If Islamic countries want to make their presence felt in the competition domain and in the field of new sciences and technologies, and play a constructive role in shaping the future of wealth and power constituents in the international community, they need to make policies and sort out their priorities at the national and international levels. The twelve priorities stipulated in Plan 2026 at this summit highlight several key points. The “human factor and social asset” play a pivotal role here. People are our most important assets. They should see that our investment in science and technology will result in their benefits, eradicate poverty and improve their health and social welfare.

This summit has what it takes to turn into a watershed in the history of scientific cooperation in the Muslim world. Let’s steer clear of plots to sow discord hatched by the enemies of Islam and bellicose powers which benefit from us remaining divided, and let’s open up new arenas for cooperation in the field of science and technology in order to further renovate countries. Let’s develop common political, economic and cultural ground in the Muslim world as much as possible.

Iranian newspapers have widely covered remarks by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani lambasting the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and the international community’s passive stance and silence towards the humanitarian crisis in the Southeast Asian state. Rouhani made the remarks in his meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana on Saturday ahead of a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Also in the spotlight were reactions to analyses of US President Donald Trump’s claims of withdrawing from the Joint Comprehensive plan of Action (JCPOA), signed between Iran and P5+1, and his call for reviewing the deal.

Reactions to the response by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to a letter by top Iranian Sunni cleric Sheikh Abdulhamid were among other hot topics in the limelight of the Iranian newspapers. In his response to Sheikh Abdulhamid, the Leader urged all Iranian authorities to refrain from any discrimination against ethnicities and religions in the country.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:

Iranian Film Bags Two Awards at Venice Festival

‘No Date, No Signature’ which won Best Director and Best Supporting Actor awards at the 35th Fajr Film Festival, managed to once again draw the attentions of festival juries to the top-notch performance of Navid Mohammadzadeh and Vahid Jalilvand’s outstanding achievement as the director of the film.

The drama narrates the story of a forensic pathologist Dr. Kaveh Nariman (played by Amir Aghaei), a principled and virtuous man, who has an accident with a motorcyclist (Mohammadzadeh) and his family, and injures his 8-year-old son. He pays compensation to the man and offers to take the child to a clinic nearby. The next morning, he finds out that the same little boy has been brought in for an autopsy. Dr. Nariman faces a dilemma now: is he responsible for the child’s death due to the accident or he died of food poisoning according to other doctors’ diagnostic?

Variety has reviewed ‘No Date, No Signature’ as “a handsomely made, exceptionally well-played drama that largely works despite a few significant plot holes.”

The review praises Navid Mohammadzadeh’s performance, saying “all four main actors are in top form, but it’s Mohammadzadeh who steals the show in his scene at the poultry plant, when his desperate monologue takes on an epic, Shakespearean quality as he throws all his physical force into a verbal storm of pained outrage.”

Iranian Film Bags Two Awards at Venice FestivalWhile dedicating his award to the Iranian people during the closing ceremony Saturday night, Mohammadzadeh said “I am proud to be an Iranian, and I am delighted that Rakhshan Bani Etemad as one of the best filmmakers in Iran’s cinema history is among the jury panels of this year’s edition of Venice film festival.”

The festival’s top prize known as Golden Lion went to Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘The Shape of Water’.

The 74th Venice International Film Festival was held from 30 August to 9 September 2017 in Venice, Italy.

Iranian, Turkish Presidents Hold Talks in Astana

“Facilitating banking transactions is an important platform for developing ties and cooperation between both countries,” said Rouhani after a meeting with Erdogan in Kazakhstan’s capital  Astana on Saturday ahead of a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Both leaders also stressed the importance of delivering aid to the people of Myanmar, where security forces have been attacking the Rohingya Muslims and torching their villages since October 2016 in a bid to push them out of the western state of Rakhine.

Rouhani noted that Iran would be sending humanitarian aid to those affected in the crackdown, and called for an end to the violence against the Rohingya Muslims.

In his turn, Erdogan also stressed that the government in Myanmar must be pressured into halting its atrocities.

Iranian, Turkish Presidents Hold Talks in Astana

Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence and persecution in their home country of Myanmar continue to arrive in Bangladesh. Refugees are waiting for hand-out from aid agencies since they lack food, clean water and shelter. Locals say many of the Rohingya refugees are also sick and wounded. Thousands of the displaced people have been stranded or left without enough food for weeks.

Myanmar’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi is under fire by the international community and rights groups for allowing the government troops and the Buddhist mobs to further impose a violent clampdown on the desperate minority.

Suu Kyi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, is also heavily criticized by a number of her fellow Nobel laureates, including Malala Yousafzai and Desmond Tutu, for allowing such atrocities against the Rohingya.

Iran to Send Man into Space by Next 8 Years

Iran sent two monkeys into the space back in 2013. The first monkey (Aftab or Sun) was sent in January to an altitude of about 120km (75 miles) in a Pishgam rocket for a sub-orbital flight before returning intact to the Earth. The second monkey (Fargam or Auspicious) was sent in December as part of a programme aimed for manned space flight.

Now, head of the Aviation Research Centre at Iran’s Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, Fat’hollah Ami, says Iran’s space programme is going on smoothly and efforts are underway to send a manned spaceship into space within the next eight years.

He said the Aviation Research Centre is now focused on its main goal to send man into the space by the next eight years. “We have had serious negotiations with Russian space centres and they are expected to give us their final reply,” he said.

According to a Farsi report by the Arya News Agency, he elaborated on the aviation achievements of the Islamic Republic of Iran over the past years and said following their great achievement by launching the largest orbital carrier rocket into space, the Iranian researchers are now trying to launch new multistage orbital rockets.

“At present, 10 high-skilled Iranian pilots are taking special training courses. At the end of the day, we will pick up two of them for long-range flights into the space,” he said.

Iranian Space Monkeys Give Birth to Baby

Iranian Space Monkeys Give Birth to BabyThe two monkeys which were separately sent into the space and returned in perfect health to Earth by Iranian spaceships have given birth to a baby monkey last week.

In an address to a technology conference in northern Iran, Ami said ‘Aftab’ and ‘Fargam’ have given birth to a monkey baby.

He added the monkey baby was born last week, adding the researchers are now studying the effects of space travel on the new-born baby.

‘US Breach of Commitments to Make Iran Produce Nuclear Fuel’

‘US Breach of Commitments to Make Iran Produce Nuclear Fuel’

Iranian legislator Mohammad Javad Kolivand has, in a Farsi interview with ICANA, termed the Iran nuclear deal an international agreement, saying signatories to the deal are expected to make good on their commitments under the accord.

“Still, some of the obligations [stipulated] in the nuclear deal have not been fulfilled,” said Kolivand, who chairs the Parliament’s Councils’ Commission.

“[Improvement in] insurance and transport, [a rise in] production of gaseous condensates, and an increase in oil exports are among the developments which occurred following the conclusion of the Iran nuclear deal, but still we are seeing the US and some European countries breaching their commitments and causing obstruction in other sectors,” said the lawmaker.

He said among the measures the P5+1 countries had undertaken to adopt were to lift sanctions and not to impose new bans.

However, he added, the promises have been breached.

The legislator underlined that the implementation of the nuclear deal took Iran to a new phase on the international stage and at the same time revealed Washington’s reneging on its commitments under the agreement.

He said the US keeps preventing the establishment of relations between Iranian and international banks and procurement of raw materials for factories.

“All these are breaches of promises on the part of the US, and the [Iranian] Parliament has [passed] legislation which stipulates that a nuclear fuel production plant should be constructed if parties to the nuclear agreement impose new sanctions on Iran or renew past sanctions.”

Therefore, he noted, it is required that the legislation go into force to deal with the United States’ breach of promises.

He reiterated that Iran is not seeking to scuttle the nuclear deal and will fulfil its duties within the framework of the agreement.

“If the US wants the agreement annulled, then American statesmen should be waiting for the deal to be scrapped. As already proven, they have always scuppered international accords.”

Iran’s Beauties in Photos: Sistan and Baluchestan Province

The province comprises two sections, Sistan in the north and Baluchestan in the south. The combined Sistan and Baluchestan province today accounts for one of the driest regions of Iran with a slight increase in rainfall from east to west, and an obvious rise in humidity in the coastal regions.

However, its enormous area has given the province a great diversity of climate and vegetation, which needs further investment to become a major tourist destination.

Despite all the deprivation and dryness, Sistan and Baluchestan province has kept its intact and beautiful nature. Here are Tasnim’s photos of the southeastern province:

Muslim Leaders to Discuss Myanmar Genocide in Astana: Iran President

Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Saturday before his departure for the Kazakh capital of Astana, Rouhani said on the sidelines of the First OIC Summit on Science and Technology, the heads of state will examine conditions of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.

“Today, a major human tragedy and ethnic and ideological cleansing is taking place in Myanmar and hundreds of thousands of Muslims have been displaced in this region,” he said, adding that the Muslim world cannot remain silent on the measures taken by the Myanmar government.

He further emphasized that international organizations should impose pressure on the Myanmar government and army to prevent the oppression of the Rohingya Muslims.

Heading a high-ranking delegation, President Rouhani left Tehran for Astana to take part in the First OIC Summit on Science and Technology due to open in the Kazakh capital on Sunday.

Rouhani is slated to deliver a speech at the OIC summit and meet with some heads of state of the Muslim countries during his two-day visit to Kazakhstan.

The Rohingya have long faced severe discrimination and were the targets of violence in 2012 that killed hundreds and drove about 140,000 people from their homes to camps for the internally displaced.

Over the past days, intensifying clashes between security forces and insurgents in western Myanmar have sent about 270,000 terrified civilians scrambling toward the Bangladesh border in a desperate search for refuge.

A United Nations report in February said the military crackdown on the Rohingya had led to gang rape, the killing of hundreds of civilians and the forced displacement of people.
