Iran’s nationwide uprising is marking its 117th day on Tuesday with protests continuing in various forms as people are relentlessly taking to the streets, holding gatherings in various ceremonies and turning them into anti-regime rallies, and maintaining ongoing attacks targeting the regime’s sites and symbols.
The Iranian people both inside the country and abroad hold regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) fully accountable for this deliberate and premeditated atrocity.
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 the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The names of 627 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.
According to reports circulating on social media, regime authorities have transferred Mohammad Ghobadlou and Mohammad Broghani to solitary confinement in Gohardasht (Rajaie-Shahr) Prison of Karaj on Sunday night local time in preparation for their execution. Ghobadlou and Broghani were sentenced to death after being tortured into coerced confessions and without due process even according to the regime’s own laws.
Parents and other people gathered outside Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, a major city located west of the Iranian capital Tehran, to protest and prevent the mullahs’ regime from executing the two young men. The protesters began chanting anti-regime slogans in their rally, including: “I will kill those who killed my brother!” and “This is the last message: another execution and there will be more uprisings!”
On Tuesday, official and contract workers of the Mobin Petrochemical Company in the city of Asaluyeh, Bushehr Province in southern Iran went on strike today demanding answers to their issues that have gone neglected for a long time now.
In Tehran, defrauded investors of the Ramak Khodro auto company held a rally and began protesting to demand their stolen investments returned. In other news from the capital, students of Allameh Tabataba’i University held a gathering today to protest the intense security measures imposed on their campus.

On Monday, people in the town of Eshtehard in Alborz Province, west of the capital Tehran, gathered to honor the memory of Mohammad Mehdi Karami and Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, executed on Saturday by the mullahs’ regime for taking part in the recent protests. Authorities have been deploying security units to the area to prevent any such event in fear of the gathering evolving into an anti-regime protest rally.
Locals in the city of Bukan in northwest Iran gathered on Monday to mark the 40th day of Avat Ghaderpour’s murder by regime security forces during the recent protests. The crowd at the site began chanting: “Death to the oppressor! Be it the Shah or [Khamenei]!”

Iranian opposition coalition NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi once again emphasized that the international community needs to take effective and practical measures against the religious fascism ruling Iran to stop the regime’s killing sprees, and use of torture and executions.
“May governments and international institutions respond without delay to the desire of the people of Iran who are enduring suppression, torture, and execution,” the NCRI President-elect underscored.

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.
