Iran’s nationwide uprising is entering its fifth month following day of major rallies and demonstrations against the mullahs’ regime in various cities of Sistan & Baluchestan Province, especially the provincial capital of Zahedan. A large number of locals took to the streets on Friday in the Baloch cities of Zahedan, Rask, and Khash, chanting slogans specifically targeting regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), the paramilitary Basij forces, and other units of the regime’s vast crackdown apparatus.
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 627 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.
At around 9 am local time on Saturday morning, approximately 500 members of ordinary inmates held in the regime’s prison rallied outside the mullahs’ so-called judiciary building protesting the conditions of their jailed loved ones. These family members had travelled to the Iranian capital from different and faraway cities. Some children were seen holding placards reading: “Don’t execute my father!”
Authorities dispatched security forces to disperse the crowd in this gathering based on the bogus pretext that the judiciary is closed today.
In Mallard, a town in Tehran Province, locals set fire to the office of Khamenei’s local representative. More such attacks are reported with each passing day in cities, towns, and villages across the country, further signally the Iranian people’s growing hatred of the mullahs’ regime.
On Friday night, in Sarableh, a city of Ilam Province in western Iran, protesters were seen holding a rally and chanting: “We vow on the blood of our fallen compatriots that we will stand to the end!”
Zahedan locals were also seen chanting:
Locals in the city of Rask in Sistan & Baluchestan Province were rallying on Friday in solidarity with their compatriots in Zahedan and were seen chanting anti-regime slogans. The mullahs’ security forces have a long history of imposing harsh measures and severe crackdown on the brave people of this city.
Similar rallies and demonstrations were seen in the city of Khash, also in Sistan & Baluchestan Province.
There are increasing reports of people burning the regime’s propaganda billboards and posters of Khamenei, writing anti-regime slogans in graffiti, and launching attacks using Molotov cocktails targeting various regime-affiliated sites, mostly bases of the IRGC paramilitary Basij units. Statues and posters of former IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani have also been constantly targeted in these attacks.
Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi once again hailed the Iranian people’s brave uprising against the mullahs’ regime and highlighted on their determination to topple theocratic dictatorship and their entire apparatus.
“Our Baluch compatriots once again took to the streets of Zahedan, denouncing the principle of Velayat-e Faqih, rejecting both the monarchic and religious dictatorships. They underscored the Iranian people’s desire for people’s sovereignty and the regime’s overthrow,” the NCRI President-elect emphasized.
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.
