Iran, September 19, 2021—“The Iranian people want to get rid of Covid-19 and the mullahs,” say the internal network of the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the Iranian Resistance Units.
The vast activities of the MEK’s Resistance Units inside Iran pointed out that the main cause of country’s fifth peak is nothing but the inhuman policies of regime’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei who banned the import of WHO-approved vaccines.
The Iranian Resistance Units also spread anti regime slogans emphasizing that the only solution to fix the situation is to rise and overthrow the mullahs.
In Tehran, despite the heavy presence of security forces, the Resistance Units installed huge posters of Iranian resistance leader Massoud Rajavi and President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) Maryam Rajavi.
Anti regime activities were also carried out in cities such as Shiraz, Isfahan, Mashhad, Qom, Rasht, Kazerun, Qazvin, Ramsar, Yasuj, Lahijan, Robat Karim, Ardakan, Langarud, Hamadan, Saveh, Minudasht, and Gorgan.
The Resistance Units also took to graffiti in these cities spreading slogans against regime’s new President, Ebrahim Raisi, also known as the butcher of Iran’s 1988 massacre of thousands of political prisoners.
“Down with Khamenei, down with Raisi, hail to Rajavi and hail to freedom,” their slogans read.
The Resistance Units also spread the slogan “Down with the oppressor, be it the Shah or Ali Khamenei,” which echoes Iranian people’s desire not to return to the era of the Shah monarchy and to live in a democratic republic.
The Resistance Units are a network of MEK activists inside Iran who have revolted against the current regime as small cells of resistance of the Iranian opposition movement, working together to play a leading role in Iran’s protests.
This network is grown in extensively in recent years, especially among youths and during the annual event of the Iranian Resistance, the Free Iran Global Summit 2021, above 1000 video messages were sent from across Iran in support of the MEK’s struggle for freedom.
According to Iranian regime officials and state-run media, was the main factor in the December 2017 and November 2019 nationwide uprisings. After the December 2017 nationwide protests Khamenei stated on January 9, 2018, that “the MEK are the third side of a triangle that created the uprising that they had prepared since months earlier.”
Also, on November 17, 2019, two days after the nationwide protests over the sudden increase in gasoline prices began, Khamenei acknowledged the impact of Iranian Resistance Units and referred to the MEK as a “wicked and criminal collective” who are “constantly encouraging and inviting people on social networks and elsewhere to conduct these evil acts.”
