Defiant youth continue their activities against Iran\u2019s regime <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the month of January drew to a close, the people of Iran continued to rise up against the regime. They have continued to protest, to strike and to hold anti-government demonstrations. And now, almost half way into the month of February, the unrest across the country is showing no signs of easing up.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, young people targeted the office of\u00a0Ahmad Alam al-Hoda, an Iranian cleric that is a representative for\u00a0Supreme\u00a0Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He is the Friday prayer leader of Mashhad and a member of the notorious Assembly of Experts. He is also widely considered one of the most murderous and\u00a0brutal\u00a0of all officials in the country.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cleric has played a large role in the suppression of the people during the most recent uprisings\u00a0of January 2018 and November 2019 in the Mashhad area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than a month ago,\u00a0Alam al-Hoda\u00a0said that all of those that burned or tore down photos of\u00a0Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the Quds Force branch of the notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)<\/a> that was killed during a US drone strike at the beginning of the year, should be executed. He said that the Iranians that are tearing down his photos are colluding with \u201cthe enemy\u201d and must be \u201ccourt martialled\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 6, rebellious youths attacked the office of Ahmad Alamolhoda, the representative of the Iranian regime\u2019s supreme leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad. The act was filmed by the rebellious youths from close range.#Iran<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/j7eusE6WMc<\/a><\/p>\u2014 People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) February 10, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
