People from various walks of life are protesting in Iran, gathering to voice their economic woes and chanting slogans against the mullahs’ regime. The ruling dictatorship has constantly responded with escalating crackdown, especially through a new surge of executions of inmates. Nearly 70 people have been sent to the gallows in less than two weeks, including

People throughout Iran continue to specifically hold the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei responsible for their miseries, while also condemning the oppressive the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and paramilitary Basij units, alongside other security units that are on the ground suppressing the peaceful demonstrators.

Protests in Iran have to this day expanded to at least 282 cities. Over 750 people have been killed and more than 30,000 are arrested by the regime’s forces, according to sources of Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The names of 675 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.

Brave youths and members of the MEK Resistance Units network checkered in different cities and towns across Iran launched a new campaign of anti-regime measures in response to the regime’s recent surge in horrific executions. These measures include:

Brave youth attacked the office of a senior regime official in Qazvin
Brave youth attacked and threw Molotov cocktails at a building associated to the mullahs’ regime in Tehran
Brave youth attacked a so-called seminary in Tehran used by the regime to promote the mullahs’ policies of hatred, misogyny, and fundamentalism
Brave youths attacked IRGC paramilitary Basij bases in Tehran, Isfahan, Manujan,and Kerman
MEK Resistance Units torched large images of Khamenei, regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, and former IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani in Mashhad, Shiraz, Arak, and Sangar

MEK Resistance Units portrayed large images of Iranian Resistance Leader Massoud Rajavi and Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi in the cities of Mashhad and Dezful on Tuesday night.

Family members of inmates transferred to solitary confinement in preparation to be executed gathered outside Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, west of the capital Tehran, in a desperate attempt to save their loved ones. Reports indicate that regime authorities executed at least eight inmates in Ghezel Hesar and Gohardasht prisons in Karaj, and a prison in Kermanshah, early Wednesday morning local time.

The family members of these victims rallied outside Ghezel Hesar Prison, began protesting the executions and clashed with the regime’s security forces. Regime security forces responded with tear gas, bird shots and using paintball rounds to target the protesting family members who were throwing stones at the security units. One of the protesting family members was beaten by the security forces using batons and is currently in critical condition at a nearby hospital.

Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi hailed the courageous families who protested the regime’s vicious executions and emphasized that the “religious fascism that rules Iran cannot escape its inevitable demise.”

“I commend the families who have protested the brutal practice of executions. Khamenei attempts to quell the people’s demand for the regime’s overthrow by resorting to a new wave of executions. The religious fascism that rules Iran cannot escape its inevitable demise. This continued shedding of blood will only further fuel the people’s uprising, and the regime’s leaders will soon face justice for their crimes. I once again urge the United Nations, the European Union, and member states to take immediate and effective action to put an end to stop executions in Iran and save the lives of prisoners who are currently on the death row. Inaction in the face of four decades of continuous crimes against humanity by the clerical regime is in stark and obvious contradiction with the very principles and foundations on which the United Nations and the European Union were established,” the NCRI President-elect highlighted.

Brave youths in Isfahan, central Iran, attacked a site of the mullahs’ so-called judiciary in response to the regime’s new surge of executions. This attack took place early Wednesday morning.

A similar attack was launched by the brave youths of Qazvin in northwest Iran as they targeted the provincial judiciary branch early Wednesday morning.

In other reports from Tehran, employees of the Shahr Bank were holding a gathering on Wednesday and protesting their poor living conditions, low paychecks, and downgraded pensions.

Around 400 local railway workers near the city of Kerman, south-central Iran, were continuing their strike for the fourth consecutive day on Wednesday and protesting officials’ refusal to address their demands. Many of them have had many paychecks delayed for a long time now. These workers have also not received their New Year bonuses for several years.

Local municipality workers in Mahshahr of Khuzestan Province in southwest Iran were holding a gathering on Wednesday protesting their poor living conditions and regime officials’ refusal to address their needs and demands.

Defrauded investors of the regime’s “Maskan-e Mehr” housing project were gathering in Tehran on Wednesday protesting and demanding officials finally provide them their housing or return their stolen money.

Drivers of the Sarkas Oil Company were on strike on Wednesday, joining the nationwide strike of industrial workers across the country that has continued for over two weeks.

Retirees and pensioners of the regime’s Social Security Organization from across Khuzestan Province held a rally in Ahvaz on Wednesday protesting high prices, poverty, corruption, inflation, poor living conditions and officials’ refusal to address their demands.

Pensioners and retirees are among the worst-hit segments of Iran’s society. They depend on government stipends to make ends meet, but the regime has refused to increase their pensions in correspondence with growing inflation and the depreciation of the national currency.

The government has long provided many hollow promises of increasing pensions. It was also supposed to settle unpaid pensions remaining from previous years. So far, it has yet to deliver on both demands.

Interestingly, the regime’s own media reported that The Social Security Investment Company (SHASTA), the financial institution that is supposed to fund retirees, has seen a significant increase in its profits in the past years. However, these profits have yet to materialize in the lives of pensioners and retirees.

The protests in Iran began following the death of Mahsa Amini. Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old woman from the city of Saqqez in Kurdistan Province, western Iran, who traveled to Tehran with her family, was arrested on Tuesday, September 13, at the entry of Haqqani Highway by the regime’s so-called “Guidance Patrol” and transferred to the “Moral Security” agency.

She was brutally beaten by the morality police and died of her wounds in a Tehran hospital on September 16. The event triggered protests that quickly spread across Iran and rekindled the people’s desire to overthrow the regime.
