Iran’s Baluchis renew protests, call for Khamenei’s downfall

Latest update – 9:45 pm CET

The brave Baluchis of Iran took to the streets once again for the 24th Friday of the country’s ongoing revolution since September 2022. In their large demonstration that took place in Zahedan, the provincial capital of Sistan & Baluchestan in southeast Iran, protesters condemned the crimes of the mullahs’ theocracy and rejected and any all forms of dictatorship, most specifically that of the Shah that ruled Iran prior to the 1979 revolution.

People throughout the country are specifically holding 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 664 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.

Locals in the capital Tehran’s different districts, including Narmak and Shahrak-e Bagheri, began chanting anti-regime slogans on Saturday night, including:
“Death to Khamenei!”
“Death to the dictator!”
“Death to Khamenei! Damned be Khomeini!”
“Death to the child-killing regime!”

On Saturday morning health workers and activists in Tehran held a rally and began protesting the deductions in the country’s budget for disabled individuals. Disabled individuals in Iran have long been neglected and seen their rights violated by the mullahs’ regime.

In the city of Sanandaj, the provincial capital of Kurdistan Province, taxi drivers are on strike on Saturday protesting skyrocketing prices and increasing expenses due to the regime’s destructive economic policies.

Protesters in Zahedan began demonstrating on Friday and locals took to the streets to launch anti-regime rallies, condemn the regime’s crimes, and demand their owed rights. Protesters in their demonstration today began chanting anti-regime slogans, including:
“Monarchy and [mullahs’ regime], a hundred years of crimes!”
“I will kill those who killed my brother!”
“Basij and IRGC, you are our ISIS!”
“We don’t want a republic of executions!”
“Proud Iranians, support, support!”
“We swear on the blood of our compatriots that we will stand to the end!”

Locals in the capital’s Shahrak-e Bagheri district began chanting anti-regime slogans on Friday night.

Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi condemned the regime’s spree of executions on Friday morning, taking place just days prior to Nowruz, the Iranian calendar New Year.

“Khamenei did not refrain from killing even on the eve of the Persian New Year. This morning, seven prisoners, including one political prisoner, were executed in Urmia. Iran’s brave youth will not let these crimes go unanswered. The international community’s silence and inaction in the face of the regime’s torture and executions tramples on human rights values. On Thursday, March 16th, people in cities across Iran, including Tehran, Ahvaz, Sanandaj, Dehgolan, Bukan, Mahabad, Arak, Qazvin, Rasht, Gorgan, Karaj, Tabriz, and Saqqez, gathered at the tombs of protesters who were killed during the uprising. They reaffirmed their commitment to overthrowing the regime through chants such as ‘Bloodthirsty Khamenei, we will pull you down and bury you’ and “We will stand by the sacrifice of our comrades until the end,’” the NCRI President-elect explained.

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.
