Reporting by PMOI/MEK
Iran, March 15, 2020—With every passing day, the number of coronavirus infections and deaths in Iran soars. On Saturday, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) announced that the coronavirus death toll across the country has surpassed 4,500.
The situation is critical. In some provinces such as Golestan that has about 2.2 percent of Iran’s population, health authorities declared that hospitals are full.
However, the Iranian regime still tries to cover up the dimension of the crisis.
To counter the growing public outrage over the regime's criminal cover-up and inaction, yesterday, Khamenei assigned Chief of the Staff of Iranian regime’s Armed Forces, IRGC Major General Mohammad Bagheri, to form a "health command center" to prevent and treat the coronavirus. But the real purpose is to prevent popular uprisings and protests.
Reacting to Khamenei's repressive scheme, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said: “These futile efforts will intensify the Iranian people’s anger and hatred over the despicable and oppressive velayat-e faqih system, which has done nothing but committing murder and plundering people’s wealth over the past 40 years. The Iranian people have stated unequivocally ‘our enemy is here’ and ‘Khamenei and Rouhani are our Coronavirus.’”
Meanwhile, members of the Resistance Units, a network of MEK activists, and the rebellious and defiant youths in Iran continued their activities against the regime to reflect the will and desire of the Iranian people to overthrow the rule of the mullahs and live in freedom.
On Thursday, March 12, MEK Resistance Units in Tehran installed two big banners of the Iranian Resistance leaders Maryam and Massoud Rajavi with the slogan: “Massoud Rajavi: [IRGC’s] medical & health care resources must be placed at the disposal of the public.”
Another banner read, “Maryam Rajavi: We pay homage to the selfless physicians and nurses who lost their lives in the process of providing care to Coronavirus patients.”
Members of the Resistance Units in Arak bravely installed a huge banner of Massoud Rajavi that read, “The Iranian people want neither the coronavirus nor the mullahs.”
In Isfahan and Behbahan, the rebellious and defiant youth bravely burned Basij base sign and entrance door and a big poster of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) commander Qasem Soleimani who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in January. Basij, a subsidiary of the terrorist-designated Revolutionary Guards, is the Iranian regime’s paramilitary forces and the most hated suppressive group that is used to crackdown protests and demonstrations such as the November nationwide uprising where 1,500 innocent protesters were shot dead in just two days.

In Tehran, Yasuj, Andimeshk, and Iranshahr, members of the MEK Resistance Units wrote slogans on walls: “Coronavirus outbreak is the guilt of the Iranian regime & mullahs”, “Khamenei, why didn’t you quarantine the city of Qom?”, “Khamenei the sinister mullah, you are the real virus”, Down with Khamenei” “IRGC & Basij, you are our ISIS”, “Coronavirus is the mullahs’ gift to us.” There were also handwritten slogans: “The Iranian people’s fight with the coronavirus is part of the main fight with Khamenei & his regime.”
The Iranian Resistance Units carried out comparable activities on Wednesday in Abadan, Tehran, Tehran-Gisha, Arak, Karaj, Isfahan, Shahre Kord, Kermanshah, Dezfoul, Mahshahr and Lahijan. The slogans and posters exposed the regime’s criminal handling of the coronavirus outbreak and called for uprisings and protests to overthrow the mullahs’ regime.
“Ali Khamenei, your days are numbered,” one poster in Karaj read.
The rebellious and defiant youth in Isfahan and Tehran bravely set fire to an IRGC Basij base and a branch of the Caspian Credit institute, an extremely corrupt financial institution affiliated with the IRGC. Caspian is one of several credit institutions that declared a large deficit in 2017, wiping away billions of dollars’ worth of investor money. The credit institutions started absorbing investor money three years earlier with trumped-up promises of fast returns on investment. Many Iranians trusted those companies with their wealth and lifesavings but those promises never materialized.

Also, on Tuesday, March 10, the defiant and brave youths in Tehran, Behbahan and Lahijan set fire to the entrance of the Bonyad-e Shahid, the mullahs' economic foundation supporting killed armed forces and militias. The youth also torched posters and banners of the notorious Soleimani.

The MEK Resistance Units in Mashhad and Bandar Abbas installed large banners and posters of the leaders of the Iranian opposition, Maryam and Massoud Rajavi:
Mashhad—Banner of Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi: “The main disaster is the Iranian regime’s response to the coronavirus outbreak. The solution is overthrowing the regime.”
Mashhad— “Maryam Rajavi: The skyrocketing number of coronavirus victims is because of the regime’s cover-ups on the outbreak.”
Bandar Abbas— “Maryam Rajavi: [IRGC’s] medical and health care resources must be placed at the disposal of the public.”
The Resistance Units in Tehran, Isfahan, Zabol, Chabahar, Saveh, Shiraz, Bandar Kangan, Saghez and Kerman wrote slogans of the walls reiterating that the regime is responsible for the spread of the coronavirus outbreak and the suffering of the Iranian people:
The banners in Shiraz read: “Free Iran with Maryam Rajavi” and “Down with Khamenei, Viva Rajavi”
