But not a day has gone by that the Iranian\nresistance and its brave members have backed down from their fundamental right to\nstruggle against the religious fascism for freedom and democracy. In this\nregard, the brave youth, many of whom are PMOI\/MEK supporters known as\n\u201cresistance units,\u201d revive the spirit of resistance and freedom in the society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, we witness activities of PMOI\/MEK supporters (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"resistance units (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2018\/09\/28\/resistance-units-mek-massoud-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\">resistance units<\/a>) in different Iranian provinces, such as writing anti-regime slogans on the walls of governmental facilities; setting up posters of the charismatic leadership of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Iranian Resistance (opens in a new tab)\">Iranian Resistance<\/a>, President-elect<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"President-elect Maryam Rajavi (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, in main streets and highways; destroying and torching the banners of key regime figures, including supreme leader Ali Khamenei and regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini; and other measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-iran-freedom\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2018\/09\/28\/resistance-units-mek-massoud-rajavi\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But what is significant is that the slogans of the resistance units are gradually popularized between ordinary people. Iranian regime officials admitted that widespread uprisings that began in early 2018 over economic grievances rapidly turned into anti-regime protests with slogans that directly targeted the highest officials of the Islamic Republic, such as \u201d Death to dictator\u201d \u201cDeath to Khamenei\u201d and \u201cDeath to Rouhani.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protesters in Shiraz chanting slogan  \u201dDeath to dictator\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here is Shiraz, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a><br>People do not want this regime.

At the time, Iran had just spiraled down into one of its\ndarkest eras after Khomeini suppressed all freedoms on June 20, 1981, and\nordered his security forces to open fire on PMOI\/MEK\u2019s peaceful demonstration,\nutterly losing his legitimacy. After that fateful day, the regime began a\nbrutal wave of arresting torturing, and executing thousands of freedom-lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\nthe time, only the PMOI\/MEK dared to challenge Khomeini\u2019s rule and began a\nhistoric struggle for freedom and justice. Of course, they paid the price of\nthis struggle with their flesh and blood, but they set an example of resistance\nand registered their movement as the beacon of hope in the darkest era of\nIran\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khomeini\nretaliated against the bravery of MEK supporters who chanted slogans against\nhim by resorting to extra-judicial arrests and executions in the streets. But the\nresult was that he lost the divine prestige he had established for himself in the\nsociety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The families of <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/newsen\/50158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"thousands of people executed by Khomeini\u2019 (opens in a new tab)\">thousands of people executed by Khomeini\u2019<\/a>s regime will never forget nor forgive him and those who carried on his dark and brutal legacy. These days, the slogans of \u201cDeath to Khamenei,\u201d Khomeini\u2019s successor, prove that the brutal suppression against PMOI\/MEK freedom-fighters didn\u2019t eliminate them, but also caused the growing popularization of their cause. Today, PMOI\/MEK supporters in every Iranian city and town and are leading and organizing anti-regime uprising and protests. What started as a movement for the end of the tyrannical rule of the mullahs in Iran continues today with renewed and undying endeavor.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How \u201cdeath to dictator\u201d became a popular slogan in Iran By Ali Latifi As tensions escalate in the Middle East and the world is focusing on the malign behavior of the Iranian regime, including advancement of nuclear-bomb projects, and exporting terrorism to various countries in Europe and the United States, we should not forget the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[35,33,59,52,247],"class_list":["post-12937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-iran","tag-iran-protests","tag-iranian-opposition","tag-iranian-resistance","tag-protests-against-iran-regime"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
