Zoughitabar, re-arrested by <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2023\/04\/irans-regime-irgc-a-state-sponsored-terrorist-organization\/44858\/\" rel=\"\">IRGC<\/a> Intelligence on July 23, 2025, calls on Iranians and the global community to dismantle the regime\u2019s disinformation campaign and rally behind the organized Resistance. In this powerful transmission, he reveals emerging interrogation horrors and reaffirms his unwavering allegiance to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maryam Rajav<\/a>i\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/regime-change-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Option<\/a>\u201d as Iran\u2019s sole route to emancipation.<\/p>\n<h3>Greetings to the Resistance and Personal Ordeal<\/h3>\n<p>In the name of God and the heroic people of Iran. Greetings to <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/massoud-rajavi-mek-pmoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massoud Rajavi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>. Greetings to the heroic <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a>. I, Shahin Zoughitabar, am calling from Evin Prison. I was previously a political prisoner for 5 years. And I was arrested again on July 24, 2025, by the IRGC Intelligence. I, like all Iranians, am one of the hostages of the terrorist IRGC.<\/p>\n<h3>Unveiling the Mullahs\u2019 New Gestapo Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>During this short period since my re-arrest, I have learned about a new line of the mullahs\u2019 Gestapo in interrogations and prison conditions, which I want to share with the people of Iran. The infamous Mullahs\u2019 Ministry and the terrorist <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/look-irans-revolutionary-guards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IRGC<\/a> are trying to place the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI<\/a> and the heroic <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/category\/iranian-resistance-activities-inside-iran\/\" rel=\"\">Resistance Units<\/a> alongside Israel and the Monarchy.<\/p>\n<h3>Clarifying Iran\u2019s Political Red Line<\/h3>\n<p>To the best of my understanding as a PMOI supporter and political prisoner, I found it necessary to clarify the political red line of the Iranian people with the slogan, \u201cDeath to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Leader.\u201d A central slogan that the people of Iran also chanted in the streets of Iran.<\/p>\n<h3>The Fiery Path of the Resistance Units<\/h3>\n<p>The people of Iran know well that the solution to overthrowing the mullahs\u2019 regime is the path of fire of the PMOI Resistance Units.<\/p>\n<h3>A Global Plea for Peace via the Third Option<\/h3>\n<p>I tell the world and the world\u2019s politicians: the solution for peace in the world and the Middle East is the Third Option of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi.<\/p>\n<h3>Shattering the Dust Clouds of Deception<\/h3>\n<p>Surely, the dust cloud that the Shah, the Mullahs, colonialism, and appeasers have thrown between the Iranian people and the Mojahedin cannot prevent the regime\u2019s overthrow. Just as a person does not eat their own vomit, the return of the traitorous Shah is certainly impossible. The regime\u2019s war with Israel showed that foreign war is also useless, just like appeasement of the regime.<\/p>\n<h3>Reaffirming the Sole Road to Liberation<\/h3>\n<p>I emphasize again: the only way to liberation is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/regime-change-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Option<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>, the path of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" rel=\"\">Mojahedin<\/a>, and the path of the Resistance Units. The main battle is between the people of Iran and the Mullahs\u2019 anti-human regime.<\/p>\n<h3>Political Prisoners\u2019 Vow to the End<\/h3>\n<p>I and other political prisoners will certainly stand by the people of Iran until the last drop of blood, until the overthrow of the infamous Mullahs\u2019 regime. Hoping for the freedom of the Iranian people.
