The Resistance Units<\/a> of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) have been actively expanding their efforts throughout Iran, despite facing severe repression from the regime. These activists continue to call for regime change and the establishment of a democratic republic that rejects both the Shah\u2019s regime and the current mullahs\u2019 rule. Their commitment remains strong in the fight to overthrow the ruling theocracy and create a secular state with a clear separation of religion and state.<\/p>\n

Over 3,000 activities have been reported in cities including Tehran, Karaj, Ahvaz, Damavand, Amol, Zahedan, Lahijan, Semnan, Rasht, Shiraz, and Babol.<\/p>\n

Key themes in their activities include support for Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/a>, which envisions a free, secular, and non-nuclear Iran. Rajavi is the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Resistance Units also marked the death of Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>, the regime\u2019s president, notorious for his involvement in the 1988 massacre <\/a>of over 30,000 political prisoners. In Damavand, a placard read, \u201cWe commemorate 30,000 massacred PMOI members and freedom fighters, which the people of Iran will never forget. The justice-seeking movement will continue until the regime is overthrown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Resistance Units<\/a> promoted the slogan \u201cWoman, Resistance, Freedom,\u201d emphasizing the vital role of women in the struggle for freedom in Iran.<\/p>\n

The MEK <\/a>Resistance Units\u2019 widespread activities illustrate their resilience and determination in the face of oppression. By continuing to organize and mobilize across numerous cities, they convey a strong message to the regime: their voices will not be silenced, and their quest for a democratic Iran will persist.<\/p>\n

Through their ongoing efforts, the PMOI Resistance Units reiterate the core principles of the Iranian Resistance: a commitment to a democratic republic, separation of religion and state, gender equality, and the abolition of the death penalty. These principles stand in stark contrast to the oppressive policies of the ruling theocracy.<\/p>\n
