Iran protesters refuse to stand down as Baloch intensify their rallies

Latest update – 9:15 pm CET

Iran’s nationwide protests are marking their 128th day following a massive demonstration in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan & Baluchestan Province in southeast Iran the day before. People in other cities, such as Rask and Khash, and Galikesh in northeast Iran, were also seen taking to the streets chanting slogans specifically targeting regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his entire crackdown apparatus, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and the paramilitary Basij units.

There were also reports of people in other cities, such as Tehran, Mashhad, Bandar Abbas, and Sanandaj chanting anti-regime slogans and celebrating the European Parliament’s recent resolution calling on the European Union to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization.

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 637 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.

On Saturday night, in the different districts of Tehran began chanting anti-regime slogans specifically targeting Khamenei and his crackdown apparatus. The slogans included:
“This is the year Seyed Ali (Khamenei) is overthrown!”
“So many years of crimes! Death to the mullahs’ regime!”

Locals in Zahedan and Rask have taken to the streets despite all the security measures adopted by regime officials to prevent such anti-regime protests from continuing. Protesters in the capital of Sistan & Baluchistan gathered in large numbers and were seen chanting:

“Death to Khamenei!”
“Death to IRGC! Death to the Basij!”
“Death to the dictator!”
“I will kill those who killed my brother!”
“We don’t want a republic of executions!”
“This is the year Seyed Ali (Khamenei) is overthrown!”
“Khamenei is a murderer! His rule is illegitimate!”
“Khamenei, have some shame! Let go of the country!”

People in the city of Galikesh of Golestan Province in northeast Iran were also demonstrating in the streets in large numbers and chanting anti-regime slogans, including: “Basij and IRGC! You are our ISIS!”

Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi hailed Baloch people of Iran and their continued stance and demonstrations against the mullahs’ regime ruling Iran.

“Today, the freedom-loving people of Zahedan, Rask, Khash, and Galikesh rose up again with chants of ‘To our fallen comrades we pledge to stand to the end’ and ‘Khamenei, shame on you, let go of our country.’ Dictators cannot stop people who are determined to win their freedom,” the NCRI President-elect emphasized.

On Friday night, protesters in the city of Ardabil, located in northwest Iran, targeted a regime judiciary building in this city by using Molotov cocktails. Such attacks and protesting measures are increasing across the country, especially targeting the regime’s oppressive security forces, being the IRGC, the paramilitary Basij, the State Security Forces (police), the plainclothes agents, and other units associated to the Intelligence Ministry.

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.
