Rejecting Both Dictatorships: “No to the Shah, No to the Mullahs”
The activists emphasized that the Iranian people reject all forms of dictatorship. Their banners and slogans echoed the popular chant heard during nationwide protests: “No to the Shah, no to the mullahs,” highlighting the determination of Iranians to end clerical rule while rejecting any return to monarchical dictatorship.
MEK Resistance Units warned that certain monarchist factions are attempting to exploit the sacrifices made by the Iranian people during recent uprisings. According to the activists, the ongoing movement in Iran represents a comprehensive struggle against dictatorship in all its forms.
Continued Resistance Despite Security Threats
Operating under constant risk of arrest and surveillance, the activists carried out their activities in public spaces to challenge the regime’s attempts to silence dissent. Their presence in the streets of Zahedan underscored the persistence of organized resistance networks despite the regime’s intensified crackdown.
Participants also reaffirmed their determination to continue the struggle against the system of absolute clerical rule. In their statements, they warned the regime’s leadership that the Iranian people’s resistance will continue until freedom and democracy are achieved.
Youth and Resistance Units Driving the Movement for Change
Organizers of the activities stressed the growing role of youth activists and MEK Resistance Units across Iran. According to their statements, these networks are playing an increasingly important role in sustaining protests and organizing resistance against the ruling establishment.
They emphasized that meaningful political change will not emerge from within the current ruling structure but through the continued mobilization of the Iranian people and the expansion of organized resistance.
