June 19, 2021—PMOI/MEK Resistance Units in Iran mark June 20, the start day of the resistance against the mullahs’ dictatorship.
On June 20, 1981, the MEK tested the democratic environment a final time by launching a demonstration to remind the Khomeini regime of its responsibilities to respect the fundamental freedoms of the Iranian people. In Tehran, more than 500 thousand people attended the demonstration, which hadn’t been publicly declared in advance.
In response, Khomeini ordered the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), his personal army, to open fire on the unarmed and peaceful protesters.
PMOI/MEK Resistance Units install large banners of the Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi and the NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi in public places.
Some of their posters read:
“On June 20 we preserved the dignity of resistance against the mullahs.”
“June 20 is the start of a resistance that has continued for over four decades.”
“The Iranian people’s message to the mullahs’ dictatorship is that we will fight to the very end.”
