As the brave Resistance Units stand united against the tyranny emanating across Iran, in the face of adversity, the people of Balochestan declare their unwavering commitment to liberty and justice, resonating with powerful slogans that encapsulate their struggle.

On January 26, 2024, in Zahedan, courageous members of the Resistance Units of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) demonstrated their unwavering dedication to combat oppression in Baluchestan and advocate for the freedom of Iran. Through their actions against the dictatorship of the mullahs, they conveyed a powerful message of resistance.

Some slogans raised during these activities encapsulate:

“Baluchestan is awake, the head of the snake is in Tehran”

“The resistance of the people of Baluchestan is a hundred years of standing against the oppression of the Shah and the mullahs”

“The birth certificate of every Baloch is patriotism, the birth certificate of Khamenei is treason”
“Zahedan is a hero, an enemy of the Shah and mullahs”

“The slogan of every Baloch: Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the mullahs”

“The heroic Baluchestan does not bow its head to Shah and Mullahs!”

“Down with Khamenei!”

We will examine the content of some slogans in order to understand more about the spirit of resistance and unyielding of heroic Baloch people.

“Baluchestan is awake, the head of the snake is in Tehran” – Reiterated to emphasize the unity and determination of the Baloch people, this slogan echoes the sentiment that their awakening is not just a momentary reaction but a sustained vigilance against oppression. The symbolic snake in Tehran continues to be the focal point, a visual representation of the challenges faced by the Baloch resistance.

“The resistance of the people of Baluchestan is a hundred years of standing against the oppression of the Shah and the mullahs” – Each passing year adds another layer to the resilient history of Balochestan’s resistance. A century of steadfast defiance against both monarchical and theocratic oppressors exemplifies the indomitable spirit of a people committed to reclaiming their rights and dignity.

“The birth certificate of every Baloch is patriotism, the birth certificate of Khamenei is treason” – This slogan contrasts the essence of patriotism within the Baloch identity against the perceived betrayal embodied by the mullahs such as Khamenei. It underscores the profound distinction between the genuine love for one’s homeland and the treason that casts a shadow over the actions of those in power.

“Zahedan is a hero, an enemy of the Shah and mullahs” – Singling out Zahedan, the heroic epicenter of the resistance, this slogan elevates the city to a status of courage and defiance. By proudly proclaiming Zahedan as an enemy to both Shah (monarchy) and the mullahs’ religious dictatorship, the slogan positions the city as a symbol of resistance and a beacon for those who yearn for freedom.

In Zahedan, the Resistance Units forge ahead, fueled by the enduring spirit encapsulated in these slogans. The echo of their collective voice reverberates not only through the dusty streets of Balochestan but also in the hearts of those who believe in the righteousness of their cause. The struggle continues, and with each slogan, the people of Balochestan declare their unyielding commitment to a future free from oppression.
