On the occasion of Student Day, MEK Resistance Units pledge to transform Iran\u2019s universities into hubs of defiance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Historical Roots of Student Day<\/h3>\n

Student Day<\/a> in Iran, observed on December 7, commemorates the 1953 killing of three students by the Shah<\/a>\u2018s forces at Tehran University following the coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. This event symbolizes enduring resistance against dictatorship. Today, MEK<\/a> Resistance Units<\/a> link this legacy to the ongoing fight against the mullahs\u2019 regime, with placards in Isfahan and Zahedan stating, \u201cUniversity is the bastion of freedom against the mullahs and the shah from December 7, 1953, until today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activities Across Iran, Especially in Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, and Kermanshah<\/h3>\n

Ahead of Student Day, PMOI<\/a> Resistance Units<\/a> have launched and expanded anti-regime activities in cities nationwide, particularly in the capital Tehran and major centers like Isfahan, Mashhad, Kermanshah and Shiraz. In Tehran, posters declare, \u201cThe protests of students in different universities is the nightmare of the mullahs\u2019 regime,\u201d and urge, \u201cOn Student Day, we must teach the regime\u2019s repressive agents an unforgettable lesson.\u201d In Mashhad and Isfahan, messages call for \u201cEvery university must become a center of rebellion and revolution.\u201d Shiraz activities emphasize resilience, with placards proclaiming, \u201cThe uprising of students prove that Iran\u2019s children will not be intimidated by the savagery of the IRGC,\u201d and vowing students will rise \u201cto overthrow the mullahs\u2019 regime and establish democracy and the people\u2019s sovereignty.\u201d These efforts underscore the student movement\u2019s intensifying role in pushing for democratic change.<\/p>\n
