Iran protests update: Global outrage, protests continue

Reporting by PMOI/MEK

Iran, December 17, 2019—People and activists inside Iran continue to provide a variety of reports about the November uprising that swept to at least 191 cities throughout Iran. The Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) has to this day concluded that at least 1,500 civilians were murdered by the mullahs’ oppressive security forces. 

These incoming reports are providing a better view into the atrocities committed by the mullahs’ regime and the massacre launched by their forces, especially the terrorist-designated Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). The PMOI has also successfully obtained and published the names of hundreds of victims killed by the regime’s security forces during the massacre, raising the number of identified protesters killed to 504 as of this day. 

Continued global outrage 

Romanian MP Romeo Nicoara, head of the Romanian Parliamentary Committee for a Free Iran, says the Iranian people are saying they don’t want the mullahs’ regime. The Iranian people seek a democratic republic based on separation of church and state, and they were responded with bullets targeting their brains. The Romanian Committee for a Free Iran condemns this massacre, demands the release of all obtained protesters, and an end to torturing detainees and executions, he added. 

Mr. Nicoara reiterated a message issued by Iranian opposition President Maryam Rajavi, head of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), who has time and again called on the United Nations Security Council, governments and international human rights organizations to take action aimed at stopping this catastrophic massacre and repression against the Iranian people, and implement serious measures to have all detained protesters released. 

Protests inside Iran 

On Monday, December 17, a group of clients of the IRGC-linked Caspian credit firm held a rally in Tehran demanding their stolen money returned. The protesters were chanting, “You disgraceful thieves, give us back our money!” 

 

Also, on Monday, reports indicate workers of the Karoun Dam in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiary Province, southwest Iran, have not received their wages for the past six months. This dam is located around 180 kilometers south of the city of Shahrekord in Isfahan Province. 

In reports from the city of Bardaskan in northeast Iran, workers of a copper mine are on a strike since December 8 protesting not receiving their paychecks for the past four months. 

On Sunday night at around 9 pm local time, brave youths in the city of Sirjan, south-central Iran, set fire to the local “Khomeini Square,” named after regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini. Police units were dispatched to the scene to prevent anyone from taking video footage of the area. 

The November uprising in Iran shook the very pillars of the mullahs’ regime and spread to nearly 200 cities. MEK reports also indicate the actual number of demonstrators killed by the mullahs’ regime is far higher, citing popular reports. Efforts to confirm these reports continue to provide a comprehensive image of the uprising scope. The regime in Tehran went the distance in shutting down access to the internet in order to pursue their crackdown in silence.
