Brave Baluchis in the restive city of Zahedan, the provincial capital of Sistan & Baluchestan in southeast Iran, have taken to the streets yet again on this Friday in new anti-regime protests and rejection of any kind of dictatorship in their country. These protests are continuing the Iranian people’s uprising against the mullahs’ tyranny as brave youths in other cities have been launching daring attacks targeting the regime’s security and so-called judiciary sites.
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.

Regime authorities have imposed heavy internet crackdown measures in Zahedan today in an attempt to prevent activists from posting videos and providing reports of their anti-regime demonstration on Friday. “Metrics show that internet connectivity has been disrupted in Zahedan, Iran; the incident is in keeping with a pattern of internet shutdowns targeting weekly anti-government protests during Friday prayers,” according to Netblocks, the UK-based internet observatory organization tracking network disruptions and shutdowns across the globe.

More than 1,220 City Council members from 270 cities across the United Kingdom have issued a joint statement voicing their support for the Iranian people’s anti-regime uprising and the ten-point plan of Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi for a free and democratic republic in Iran. The signatories emphasized on their solidarity with the Iranian people and standing shoulder to shoulder with them in their struggle for a democratic republic based on separation of religion and state in which no individual enjoys privileges over others based on family relations or religion.
This statement supports the Iranian people’s demand of establishing a democratic republic in Iran and reiterates the fact that the Iranian people, in the slogans voiced in their recent uprising, reject any and all forms of dictatorship, including the ousted Shah’s regime and the current religious tyranny ruling Iran. The Iranian people also reject any ties with these two dictatorships.
The signatories of this statement condemn the crackdown against Iranian protesters that led to the killing of over 750 demonstrators and the apprehension of over 30,000 others and demand a complete halt in the killing of demonstrators.
The ten-point plan of NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), announced over two decades, acknowledges and respects the same values that the people of democratic countries defend, the signatories highlighted.

The Iranian people’s brave uprising is a result of the country’s explosive circumstances due to expanding poverty and the regime’s crackdown, corruption, and segregation on the one hand, and an organized anti-regime resistance movement that has spread across the country for more than four decades.
In the summer of 1988 alone more than 30,000 political prisoners, most of whom were MEK members and supporters, were massacred in barbaric fashion, the statement adds. The signatories also condemn the continued meddling of the religious despotism ruling Iran in regional countries and Europe, including the mullahs’ recent terror plots and cyberattacks in Albania.
The statement calls on the international community to stand alongside the Iranian people in their effort to bring about change in Iran, and adopt firm measures against the current regime, including designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization and holding the regime accountable for its crimes against humanity.
Incoming reports from inside Iran indicate that two inmates were executed on Thursday in the prisons of Qazvin (northwest Iran) and Zahedan (southeast Iran), according to the Iran Human Rights Center. Houshang Amirzadeh was hanged in Qazvin Central Prison after being arrested three ago and sentenced to death on drug-related charges. Alidoust Samalani, 45, from the city of Zabol in southeast Iran, was in prison for the past two years and hanged on Thursday in Zahedan Central Prison, also in southeast Iran.
A woman held in Urmia Central Prison of northwest Iran has been transferred to solitary confinement on Thursday in preparation to be executed, according to the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights. Other reports indicate that two male inmates in this facility have also been transferred to incommunicado and activists believe they could be executed late Thursday or early Friday morning local time.
Reports indicate two inmates were executed early Wednesday morning in Karaj Central Prison, located in Iran’s Alborz Province and west of the capital Tehran, according to the Iran Human Rights Center. One of the individuals has been identified as Einollah Badrinezhad and the two were transferred to be executed on June 3. This same source indicates two other inmates have been transferred to solitary confinement on Wednesday in preparation for their execution.
Two inmates by names of Malek Baluch Mahani and Kambiz Barzekar held in Kerman Central Prison located in south-central Iran were executed early Tuesday morning in this facility, according to the Hengaw Organization for Human Rights. Around 150 people have been executed across the country by the mullahs’ regime from May 1 to this day.
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.
