On the anniversary of the 2022 uprising, Iran’s rebellious youth paid tribute to the 750 martyrs of the uprising, especially the heroes who were executed for retaliating against regime agents and setting fire to symbols of the ruling tyranny. They targeted the regime’s centers of suppression and crime in cities across Iran.
The rebellious youth carried out 25 operations in Tehran, Karaj, Savojbolagh, Isfahan, Mashhad, Kermanshah, Sanandaj, Gorgan, Qazvin, Malayer, Shahr-e Rey, Rudbar, Kerman, Iranshahr, Birjand, and Bukan, while the regime was on full alert.

The nationwide uprisings, sparked by the state-sponsored murder of Mahsa (Jina) Amini on the night of Friday, September 16, 2022, continued for several months. The embers hidden beneath the ashes of the brutal massacres of the 1980s, the 1988 massacre of steadfast political prisoners, the suppression of uprisings in the 1990s in cities like Mashhad, Qazvin, Bukan, Arak, and Tehran (July 1999), and the uprisings of 2009-2010, finally erupted in the volcanic, regime-shaking uprisings of 2017-2018 and 2019. Then, in 2022, the heroic men and women of Iran rose up, challenging the corrupt, plundering, criminal, and reactionary structure of Khamenei’s rule in their nationwide uprising.
The mullahs’ regime once again resorted to suppression, street killings, mass arrests, and brutal executions in the face of the roaring waves of the uprising. On Saturday, January 28, 2023, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) announced that during the nationwide demonstrations and uprising in over 282 cities, 750 people were murdered by the regime’s security forces, and 30,000 arrests were recorded.
The rebellious youth, whose revolutionary operations have continued ceaselessly despite the inhuman atmosphere of repression, renewed their commitment to continuing the path of the martyrs of the 2022 uprising on its anniversary with 25 operations against the regime. They showed the enemy that the flames of the uprising and the democratic revolution of the Iranian people will not be extinguished until the overthrow of the mullahs’ rule and the realization of a free Iran, without mullahs or a Shah.
