In a bold act of defiance amidst severe repression, PMOI Resistance Units in the city of Zahedan carried out a daring campaign by distributing and posting large-scale leaflets and banners containing revolutionary slogans across public areas and near Friday prayers gatherings. This action directly challenged the tight security grip imposed by the Iranian regime, particularly in the marginalized and heavily monitored region of Sistan and Baluchestan.
Despite the intense security measures and surveillance, the Resistance Units succeeded in spreading their message to the public with powerful and direct slogans that reflect the collective consciousness and revolutionary resolve of the Iranian people.

Their central slogan was “No to Crown, No to Turban… The People Want a Democratic Republic”
This defining slogan encapsulates the uprising’s clear position: the Iranian people reject both the monarchy of the past and the current clerical rule. The demand is for a democratic republic founded on freedom, justice, and popular sovereignty.
They also held banners that read, “From Zahedan to Tehran, Death to the Oppressor — Be It Shah or Khamenei”
This slogan underlines national unity in the fight against all forms of dictatorship. It reinforces that tyranny is rejected — whether under the crown or the turban — and that this is a nationwide movement from the periphery to the center.

Their slogans also included, “The Regime of Executions and Massacres Will Be Buried in the Dustbin of History”
A resounding condemnation of the regime’s four decades of executions and mass killings. The people are demanding not reforms but an end to the regime itself.
They carried the hopeful message that “Iran’s New Democratic Revolution Will Triumph”
This slogan reflects the unwavering confidence of the uprising: what is unfolding is not just a protest but a nationwide revolution that will reshape Iran’s future.

They also reiterated the independence of the Iranian Resistance with the slogan: “We Rely on the Anger and Energy of Our Oppressed Society… and We Will Overthrow the Regime”
A statement that speaks to the enormous untapped power of the Iranian masses — a volcano beneath the surface that is destined to erupt against injustice.
They also exposed the truth of the mullahs’ regime with the message: “Maryam Rajavi: The Mullahs Are Religious Charlatans — Islam’s Worst Enemies. Their God Is a Deity of Torture and Execution.”
A powerful quote from the President-elect of the Resistance, exposing the regime’s abuse of religion to justify tyranny and repression.

What happened in Zahedan is not an isolated event. It is part of a nationwide uprising led by Resistance Units aimed at dismantling the regime of Velayat-e Faqih. Their message is clear: no retreat, no compromise, and the goal is non-negotiable — the downfall of the theocratic regime and the establishment of a democratic republic.
