It’s been almost three weeks since the nationwide Iran protests began, calling for regime change in Iran.
The slogans being chanted are targeting the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani, and repressive forces including the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). The protesters believe the regime is the source of corruption and repression in Iran. Wednesday marks the 20th day of the nationwide uprising. Reports by the network of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), also known as the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), inside the country say protests have taken place in more than 189 cities, and that more than 1,000 people have been killed, another 4,000 injured and more than 12,000 have been arrested.
Iranian communities around the world and international lawmakers and human rights defenders are continuing their condemnation of the mass murders and unprecedented crackdown by the regime.

The United States’ Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-NY), responded to the Iran regime’s Foreign Minister, who shamelessly accused the U.S. of killing Iranian citizens. Mr. Zeldin wrote on Twitter:
Wrong. Your team right now is executing your own innocent citizens, putting bullets in their heads ONLY bc they peacefully disagree w/you. Your regime isn’t TOUGH, HONEST, LEGITIMATE or COURAGEOUS. Iranians deserve a far better future than a nation run by terrorist cowardly scum. https://t.co/Bai1kPgwqx
