From Khorramabad’s Central and Parsilun Prisons, two political prisoners declare the announcement of a provisional government the start of a decisive “war of destiny” against both monarchy and clerical rule.
In a joint statement issued from the Central and Parsilun prisons of Khorramabad, political prisoners Mehdi and Mohammad Khodakarami describe the recent announcement of a provisional government as a historic turning point.
Referring to the declaration by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) to establish a temporary government for the transfer of sovereignty to the Iranian people and the creation of a democratic republic based on the Ten-Point Plan of Maryam Rajavi, they write:
“The announcement of the provisional government for the transfer of sovereignty to the people of Iran and the establishment of a democratic republic… is the beginning of the Iranian people’s storm. It is the beginning of the war of destiny—a war one hundred years old against the two dictatorships of Shah and Mullah. We call this the war of wars.”
“A Sea of Blood Between the People and the Regime”
The two prisoners link their message directly to the recent Dey uprising, arguing that it revealed the depth of confrontation between society and the ruling establishment.
“The Dey uprising (January 2026) showed that between the people and the dying dictatorship in power, there flows a sea of the blood of the best of our nation,” they state. “Bloods that are boiling, determined to close the book on a hundred years of oppression by Mullah and Shah.”
They portray the uprising not as an isolated protest, but as a continuation of a historic struggle spanning monarchical and clerical systems of rule. Addressing families of those killed in the protests, they salute “the mothers and families who turned memorial ceremonies into scenes of renewed commitment to overthrow the blood-soaked system of velayat-e faqih.”
From “behind prison bars,” they declare with “a heart full of faith and certainty” that although “the head of the snake has been struck, this is not the end—it is the beginning.”
An Uncompromising Political Position
Identifying themselves as political prisoners in Khorramabad who have, over the past three years, “defended with pride our position, our honor, our people, and our beloved organization—the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI)—against the ruling killers,” they emphasize that they have not yielded to pressure or threats.
Their demand, they write, is unequivocal:
“Our demand, and that of our people in these decisive and historic circumstances, is clear: the overthrow of the ruling religious fascism by the Liberation Army and the courageous Resistance Units, and the establishment of a provisional government by the National Council of Resistance for the transfer of sovereignty to the people of Iran.”
They add, “We lean on the great rock of the Liberation Army, the heroic Resistance Units, and our people.”
The message also references lessons learned from opposition leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, stating that they have embraced the principle of self-reliance and refusal to retreat “no matter how hard and difficult the times may become.”
Warning Against “Opportunists”
In a pointed appeal to residents of Khorramabad and the wider Lorestan province, the prisoners call on citizens to “raise the banner of the heroic martyrs of Dey” and to reject what they describe as opportunists who, in their words, “have made the crimes of the clerics a stepping stone and taken refuge behind the son of the Shah to extinguish the flames of the uprising.”
They frame the current moment as one that requires clarity of alignment, invoking a popular slogan:
“Now is the time of war, the time of friendship with the rifle.”
“Long Live the Democratic Republic of Iran”
The statement concludes with a projection of inevitable change:
“Without doubt, the sun of freedom in Iran will once again warm the existence of every Iranian.”
They close with the slogans:
“Long live the Democratic Republic of Iran”
“Hail to Rajavi.”
Issued in March 2026 from Khorramabad’s Central and Parsilun prisons, the message presents the struggle not as symbolic resistance, but as what its authors call a historic and final confrontation—“the war of wars”—to end a century of authoritarian rule in Iran.
