In an online conference hosted by the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>), thousands of Iranians attended the event, marking the first anniversary of the November 2019 uprising<\/a>. In mid-November 2019, nationwide protests rapidly swept nearly 200 cities across Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of thousands of outrage protesters came into the streets, showing their complaint against the sudden rise of gasoline prices. However, the regime\u2019s security forces responded to defenseless demonstrators with live ammunition, killing at least 1,500 protesters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During two days, the Revolutionary Guard Corps and other oppressive forces did whatever they could to stifle protests, according to the supreme leader Ali Khamenei<\/a>\u2018s decree. They arbitrary detained over 12,000 demonstrators, targeted protesters and bystanders by heavy machineguns, snipers, and helicopters. However, they merely fueled the people\u2019s wrath against the entire regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the people of #Iran<\/a> and 1,500 protesters who were brutally killed during November 2019 uprising #WeStand4FreeIran<\/a>
