My brother who stands in front of armed forces with a rock in his hand, he knows that 80 million people have his back. We’re not afraid of your bullets and guns. We’re not afraid of anything. It makes no difference, whether you kill in Tehran or Kurdistan, or Khuzestan or Zahedan. We want justice for our brothers and sisters. I will kill those who killed my sister!”
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the NCRI, sent a message on the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people, and said: “Our Baluch compatriots, esp. the brave women of Zahedan, reiterated their call for justice for the martyrs in the 4th month of Iran Protests With chants of “Behind every one killed, there are 1000” they vowed to continue Iran Revolution until the regime is overthrown.”
