The brave Baluchi locals of Zahedan, the provincial capital of Sistan & Baluchestan Province in southeast Iran, have once again took to their streets in a new round of anti-regime protests and demonstrations on Friday. These courageous people have kept the flame of Iran’s revolution despite the regime’s intense crackdown against their community, from internet blackouts, arrests, torture, and even massacres.
People throughout Iran continue to specifically hold the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei responsible for their miseries, while also condemning the oppressive the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and paramilitary Basij units, alongside other security units that are on the ground suppressing the peaceful demonstrators.
Protests in Iran have to this day expanded to at least 282 cities. Over 750 people have been killed and more than 30,000 are arrested by the regime’s forces, according to sources of Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The names of 675 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.

During the past few days at least nine death row inmates in the prisons of Kerman, Urmia, Jiroft, Sanandaj, and Isfahan have been executed, according to the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights. Early Thursday morning local time two inmates by the names of Qader Bakhsh Dehghani, 39, married with children and from Zahedan, and Abdulrasoul Jamshidi, 55, married with children and from Fars Province, were executed in Kerman Prison.
On this same day another inmate by the name of Ali Piri, 40, was executed in Urmia Central Prison. He had been on death row for three years.
Two inmates were also executed on Thursday in Jiroft Prison. They have been identified as Mehdi Salari from Jiroft and Mohammad Daraie (Golbache), 30, from Zahedan. Prior to this, two inmates by the names of Majid Jafari and Ali Tabib were executed on Tuesday in Dastgerd Prison of Isfahan.
Further reports indicate that an inmate by the name of Saeed Mohmmadi-far has been executed today in Sanandaj Central Prison. Additionally, Amir Mehdi was hanged in public today in the city of Maragheh in northwest Iran.
Iran’s state media and those associated with the regime’s so-called judiciary have yet to provide any reports regarding these hangings.
The protests in Iran began following the death of Mahsa Amini. Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old woman from the city of Saqqez in Kurdistan Province, western Iran, who traveled to Tehran with her family, was arrested on Tuesday, September 13, at the entry of Haqqani Highway by the regime’s so-called “Guidance Patrol” and transferred to the “Moral Security” agency.
She was brutally beaten by the morality police and died of her wounds in a Tehran hospital on September 16. The event triggered protests that quickly spread across Iran and rekindled the people’s desire to overthrow the regime.
