Iran’s nationwide uprising is entered its fourth month on Thursday, marking 91 days of continued protests against the mullahs’ regime by people in cities, towns, and villages checkered across the country. Despite the fact that the mullahs’ regime and their entire security apparatus have gone the distance to silence and quell this movement, the Iranian people are continuing their unprecedented uprising.
Today, in Abdanan, southwest Iran, people celebrated their victory in forcing regime officials to release Soniya Sharifi, a 16-year-old protester who was sentenced to death on charges of “Moharebeh” or “waging war against God”.
In Eslamabad-e-Gharb, western Iran, people gathered to mark the 40th day of Alireza Karimi’s murder by the regime’s oppressive security forces. They chanted, “Death to the dictator!” and “Death to the child-killing regime!”
In Babolsar, northern Iran, defiant youth set ablaze the office of the local representative of regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
In Mashhad, capital of the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi, protesters torched a pro-regime poster and a regime-associated building with Molotov cocktails in response to the execution of Majidreza Rahnavard.
In a related development, on Wednesday, a group of cross-party British MPs and Peers held a conference announcing a joint initiative consolidating their recommendations to their government with the objective of supporting the Iranian people and their nationwide uprising for human rights, freedom, and democratic change in Iran.
The conference emphasized the necessity for the international community to end the impunity enjoyed by regime leaders in Iran, recognize the Iranian people’s right to self-defense in the face of the regime’s barbaric executions and intense crackdown measures against peaceful demonstrations, and discuss the next steps for the United Kingdom to deliver on its promise of holding to account the mullahs and their crackdown machine for their deadly oppression against protesters and grave human rights violations.
In other news, in Tehran, during the third session of the trial regarding the IRGC shooting down the Ukrainian flight PS752, families of the victims gathered outside the court to protest the sham process and the mullahs’ attempt to close the case under the pretext “human error”. They carried pictures of their loved ones, who perished when two missiles fired by the IRGC missile brought down the civilian airliner on January 8, 2020.
On Wednesday, December 14, 2022, the Economic and Social Council of the UN General Assembly voted to expel the mullahs’ regime from the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The resolution was approved after the women-led revolution in Iran lasted three months and the loss of hundreds of lives, including a significant number of women and girls.
The Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran led by President-elect Maryam Rajavi welcomed the regime’s removal from the CSW. “The religious fascism ruling Iran has arrested, tortured, and executed thousands of female political prisoners in the past four decades, and in the past three months alone, during the uprising, it has killed at least 61 women and 70 children in the streets,” she said.
“It has threatened peace and tranquility in the region and the world and continuously violated international covenants, treaties, and laws. This illegitimate regime does not represent the people of Iran in any way and must be shunned by the international community and expelled from the United Nations and its various agencies, especially UNICEF,” Mrs. Rajavi added. “The case of human rights violations by this regime must be referred to the UN Security Council, and the regime’s leaders must be prosecuted for more than 40 years of crimes against humanity and genocide.”
December 14 marked the 90th day of anti-regime protests in Iran. The demonstrations began following the heinous murder of Mahsa Amini, 22, in police custody. However, it immediately turned into a revolution against the entire theocratic regime.
According to the Iranian opposition Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI), the protests have extended to 282 cities. The regime has killed over 700 citizens, injured tens of thousands, and detained more than 30,000. The MEK has published the names of 580 killed protesters.
